Judge puts Democrats' suit for Trump's tax returns on hold

Captain Adverse said:
The actual question is...WHY the heck does anyone need to see his (or anyone else's) tax returns? Unless (per law) the IRS is doing an audit, then IMHO EVERYONE's tax information should remain confidential.

Seems to me this is just another witch-hunting attempt seeking to find dirt, ANY dirt to "get Trump."

Another one of those "if he has nothing to hide, then he should be willing to show us all" arguments against a persons basic right to privacy.

Let he who is without sin cast the first stone.

Let's have every congressman and senator show their tax returns for the past 20 years.

The notion that Hillary has protectors in Barr's Justice Department that would cover up her "crimes" is as stupid as it sounds. It's highly ironic that when Trump is accused of misdeeds, you side's knee-jerk response is, "innocent until proven guilty." Yet, when your side talks about Hillary, she is presumed guilty -- even after investigation after investigation clears her. WhiteWater -- after spending $75 million of taxpayer money, the GOP prosecutors came up empty; Travelgate -- nothing; There were endless Republican Committee investigations into Benghazi (a.k.a. Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi!) and after hundreds of hours of testimony, no wrongdoing was found by the Republicans, who were itching to find something.

Republicans have been waging a multi-decade smear campaign against Hillary and the only logical conclusion is that their followers are just stupid enough to believe right-wing propaganda. We can read their mindless sardonic rants on these pages. The reality is that there haven't been any misdeeds at all. Every one of them has exonerated Mrs. Clinton -- from WhiteH2O to Benghazi, there has been nothing. Yet, the Trump zombie drones push on as if Hillary Clinton is a demon. It's sad that so many Americans have no critical thinking skills.

There is a big difference between being found innocent of a crime and getting away with a crime because of lucky breaks or because of corrupt law enforcement protection.

There is a big difference between being tethered to reality and making up your own reality.

They all released their tax returns so not sure what you are getting at.

I'm just getting at how Maddow revealed that he actually paid more than his democrat opponents. I'm just suggesting that what was true then, may very well still be true now.

Lots of things may very well be true. What IS true is we don't know because Trump promised MANY times to release his taxes, and he lied, and so we can only guess, because Dear Leader is a liar.

Assume all you like, I really don't care. The fact that people are still frothing at the mouth over one person's tax returns, after all this time. Is something that I'm probably going to use as a case study at some point in the future.

I didn't assume anything. Trump is a liar, lied about releasing his taxes and hasn't released them, despite many promises to do so. Those are what we call facts. Should make a great case study!

You do realize the different between him being genuine and him just ribbing the hell out of you, because it gets a good laugh from his base right?
