PLAYTIME IS OVER: IRS Memo Shows Dems Are NEVER Getting Trump’s Taxes
May 22, 2019
The same returns that President’s are under no required by law to provide.
As The Washington Post reported, and they did their best to make it appear bad for President Trump, however all he has to do is claim executive privilege and they become off limits.
A confidential Internal Revenue Service legal memo says tax returns must be given to Congress unless the president takes the rare step of asserting executive privilege, according to a copy of the memo obtained by The Washington Post.
Trump has refused to turn over his tax returns but has not invoked executive privilege. Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin has instead denied the returns by arguing there is no legislative purpose for demanding them.
As reported by the Federalist Papers, The Post could do gymnastics as much as they want but the nuts and bolts of what that says is that if President Trump says the words “executive privilege” it is checkmate, game over.
