The left is desperate to block Trump and his agenda and will stoop to
any means necessary to accomplish their goals. They want his tax
returns (the think this is the Rosetta stone to get to Trump) and
they will be in the fight of their lives to get them.
Pelosi thinks an obscure law gives the Democrats the right to see
Trump’s returns and one leading Dem said he would make them public when
he got them.
Trump will fight this and the law is so ancient he will win so tot he courts the left will run and there they will lose again.
If past is prologue that is. From CNN:
DC Circuit Court Judge Karen Henderson wrote that the President should be afforded the same privacy rights as any other citizen.
“This case presents the question whether a member of the public —
here, a nonprofit organization — can use an FOIA request to obtain an
unrelated individual’s tax records without his consent,” Henderson wrote
in an opinion on behalf of herself and two other appellate judges. “With
certain limited exceptions — all inapplicable here — the answer is no.”
Previous presidents have released their tax returns as a matter
of course, but Trump has resisted making his records public, both as a
candidate and in office.
Henderson wrote that the President’s tax returns are protected by the IRS.
“No one can demand to inspect another’s tax records,” she wrote.
“And the (Internal Revenue Code’s) confidentiality protections extend to
the ordinary taxpayer and the President alike.”
The decision in the DC federal appeals court affirmed the prior
decision of a trial-level judge rejecting the freedom of information
suit filed against the IRS by the nonprofit Election Privacy Information
Center (EPIC) in 2017.
From Law & Crime: Judge
Henderson said that the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and FOIA appear to
be in tension (one protects confidentiality, the other promotes
transparency), but said that they actually aren’t.
“One statute demands openness; the other privacy. But as we
explain […] the statutes work well together. Not all records are subject
to FOIA requests,” Henderson said. “An agency need not disclose records
‘specifically exempted from disclosure by statute.’ Because the IRC is
such a statute, records that fall within its confidentiality mandate
are exempt from FOIA.”
Henderson said that the issue at hand was pretty straightforward.
“This case presents the question whether a member of the
public—here, a nonprofit organization—can use a FOIA request to obtain
an unrelated individual’s tax records without his consent. With certain
limited exceptions—all inapplicable here—the answer is no,” the judge
opined. “No one can demand to inspect another’s tax records.”
