Wells Fargo, TD Bank turn over Trump financial records to House Dems | Fox News

Wells Fargo and TD Bank have turned over President Trump's financial records to the House Financial Services Committee, Fox News confirmed on Thursday, amid a contentious legal battle between the Trump administration and congressional Democrats seeking access to sensitive files.

The committee, led by Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., is one of several panels that have issued subpoenas and requests for Trump's financial files.

I'm putting the over/under for the first leak at 7 days.
 
Imagine that.

Private sector employees acquiescing to subpoenas issued by folks we elect.

If only the executive branch did the same.

Cue the outrage.

Hopefully. IMO, voters have a right to know about their elected officials business. To ensure they haven't committed acts which might compromise them, that they're not accepting bribes, etc..

It should be standard practice, but of course crooked politicians have put in laws to prevent that from happening to protect themselves. Trump is just what happens when things get out of control.

We'll likely have an idea of what type of documents they are by tomorrow afternoon. That should give the media the whole weekend to speculate about what the committee will find. Come Monday we'll hear from anonymous sources that there is information highly suggestive of fraud and/or money laundering. By Tuesday or Wednesday we'll have a stay on all this document stuff from the appeals court and those anonymous sources won't be able to really say anything else until that gets sorted out. Finally, next Friday we'll hear that Pelosi has decided that, in light of these documents, she needs to start investigating impeachment. That's the last we'll hear of the bank stuff.

You are aware that Starr was required by law to release everything, aren't you?

You should also be aware that because of the Starr investigation, the rules for special prosecutors were changed.

Committee Outlines Regulations for Release of Special Counsel Reports | United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary

During Bill Barr’s hearing on January 15, Democrats repeatedly asked him to commit to publicly releasing any reports that are ultimately prepared by Special Counsel Bob Mueller. These questions make it seem as though an Attorney General can do whatever he or she wants with the report. But that’s not true. Regulations enacted by the Clinton administration—the same regulations that prohibit firing the special counsel without cause—govern how the Attorney General must treat special counsel reports. Those regulations reflect decades of experience with independent and special counsels under administrations of both parties, and it’s worth clarifying how those detailed regulations work.

The regulations provide that the special counsel must submit a report to the Attorney General at the conclusion of the special counsel’s investigation explaining the special counsel’s prosecutorial decisions—including any decisions not to prosecute. Under the regulations, that report is strictly “confidential.” As the Clinton Justice Department explained when it proposed the regulations, the “report will be handled as a confidential document” just like “internal documents relating to any federal criminal investigation.” This confidentiality rule was designed to avoid the problems experienced under the old Independent Counsel statute, which—in contrast to today’s special counsel regulations—provided for the public release of independent counsel reports. Specifically, the Clinton Justice Department chose confidentiality because public disclosure created “an incentive to over-investigate, in order to avoid potential public criticism for not having turned over every stone, and creates potential harm to individual privacy interests.”

I spent a couple hours doing a deep skim of the Senate Whitewater Committee's report yesterday. It's 690 pages long and goes over 18 years of the Clinton's tax returns, practically line by line. It mentions errors and inappropriate deductions as low as $144. Let me just say, if Trump receives a similar treatment, I hope it comes with a bill to make it illegal to print paper copies, out of concern for deforestation.

Maybe they'll net 37 indictments and you can look away by chanting see? No collusion. Maybe they'll even net tens of millions of dollars from men running dictatorship wargames for profit. Maybe they'll even find strong evidence of communications between individuals on two sides of an ocean with a similar goal.

Who knows. Anything is possible.

They hired forensic accounting firms for Whitewater, though I do not know if statute makes any demands about it. The Clintons released their tax returns publicly when the investigations started. However, there were subpoenas for a multitude of financial and legal documents from the Clintons, the White House, as well as business and firms that dealt with the Clintons during the years in question.

That's ok buddy. Clinton was under investigation for 5 years and still worked with the other party to pass legislation. Your guy pretty much is taking his ball and going home until the Dems stop being mean to him.

Aren't you ashamed of this man-child that should be nowhere near the oval office? If you're not you should be.

He's obviously in poop up to his neck. Why else would he be throwing a constant twitter-tantrum? We've basically elected a cartoon mob boss to the highest office in the land.

Of course I'm ashamed of him.

The funny thing is that as bad as he is, and as much ammo he give people to attack him with, you had to resort to an easily provable lie!:lamo

Sorry, Charlie. It's a fact that Starr spread Clinton's personal business all over the internet. As much as it bends your nose out of shape it's certainly not a lie.

When Starr's investigation into a failed land deal failed to nail the Clintons, he embarked on a smear campaign aimed at doing nothing else than embarrassing Clinton in front of the nation, by giving a "blow-by-blow" description of Clinton's tryst with Monica. It was called, "The Starr Report".

If you need any more history lessons, please don't hesitate to hmu. You could also try using "the google"!

By the way, you forgot to call me a liar again. You're falling down on the job, pal :roll:

So... he did an investigation, which was his job to do, and released the results of that investigation to congress, which he was required by law to do.

Have I covered the pertinent facts?
