Please Subpoena Trump for his Tax Returns!!!

[jaxind]

Don't you think there is enough suspicion now that Trump has ties to Russia, that we can subpoena for his tax returns??!!

[mythology]

1. It would be a fishing expedition

No judge would issue a subpoena for that without some very specific target. General suspicion doesn't count.

2. It would rile him though.

Worth the expense.

I admit it would be hard to tell if he was more riles than usual.

I bet the returns show numerous bribe / hush payments claimed as debts etc

3. Leave it be...

There is no sense turning this into the Democrats' version of the "birther" movement.
The man is breakfast food...toast.
He's dung, sorry I meant done.

4. No sobpoena him for various sex crimes.

The evidence is epic.

6. in what case?

Again, subpoenas are issued in connection with legal proceedings.

5. who is going to issue this subpoena

And in connection with what legal proceeding?

I don't think subpoenas work the way you think they do.

7. Who would have the standing to do that?

The IRS already has them and is probably auditing his filings. The IRS is the only government agency at this time with the authority to demand his tax records.

This is a non-starting proposal that ignores the law.

8. cant be done

tax returns are private unless HE chooses to release them. it doesnt matter what he shows on them...
no one can force their release and neither can a court
