Dems plot next move in Trump tax-return battle

By Naomi Jagoda - 04/22/19 06:00 AM EDT

The Trump administration this week is expected to miss a second deadline for providing President Trump's tax returns, making it all but certain that a legal fight will ensue.

House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) gave the IRS until Tuesday at 5 p.m. to turn over six years of Trump's tax filings, and said he'd consider a failure to comply to be a denial of the request. Neal initially set a deadline of April 10 in an April 3 letter to the IRS, but the administration missed that deadline.

Some Democrats say their next move will likely involve issuing a subpoena for the documents. Administration officials have said the president will not turn over his returns, meaning a subpoena standoff would shift the battleground into the courts.

1. I thought the company that

Prepared them had already agreed. They just needed a friendly subpoena. They received that last week.

2. That's the second avenue to get at his tax returns. Neal is entitled to see the returns

through an IRS request as chairman, and the WH/Mnuchin are trying to block him.

4. Of course they are.

Trump Lawyers sent a letter to the company warning them not to release them.

That is why the company wanted a friendly subpoena to make it legal.

Congress will get them one way or the other. That is why Trump is si hysterical.

About those 12 sealed cases I read that is what Prosecutors do if the Statute of Limitations may run out. Sealed until they indict you.

Trump’s first reaction,” I am F*****,” is the right one. The hand of the Law will get you one way or the other!

5. +1 Looks like the company one might come to pass first, hopefully !

3. Still should be pursued by Congress...

Assert the right, and follow up or it is meaningless. Use it or lose it.
