“The Committee’s purpose in requesting President Trump’s tax returns has nothing to do with funding or staffing issues at the IRS and everything to do with releasing the President’s tax information to the public,” Trump’s non-pretending attorneys wrote to the court in October. However, today the Supreme Court maintains the pretense of a valid legislative purpose.
(Washington DC) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday refused to block a request by the House Ways and Means Committee for former President Trump’s tax returns. There were no noted dissents.
The decision likely means that the returns will be released to the Committee immediately, ending a multi-year legal battle.
Trump filed an emergency application at the Supreme Court on Oct. 31 to block the release of his tax information at least until the court considered whether it wanted to hear full argument on the issue. Trump similarly lost his case in the lower courts, most recently with a panel of the D.C. Court of Appeals ruling unanimously that the Committee’s request for tax returns was constitutional.
The House Ways and Means Committee argued that it needs the information contained in Trump’s tax returns to meaningfully evaluate the IRS’s presidential audit program. The Committee says it is considering implementing greater legislative oversight of financial activities conducted by presidents. In particular, it is investigating whether the current IRS audit program is able to adequately enforce the nation’s tax laws against a president, like Trump, who has complex business holdings.

Wreck it all….
All of it…
So let’s see FJB’s records. What horsecrap!
Why is no one asking about Justice Amy??
What is there to talk about? She’s obviously a Deep State-controlled political whore who was falsely recommended to PDJT as a “Constitutional conservative.”
Who recommended?
mcconnell.
March 2022: The Heritage Foundation.
“Heritage Foundation president Kay James and executive vice president Kim Holmes said they would leave their posts, with Mr. Holmes departing on April 16 and Ms. James remaining for up to six months until her replacement is found.”
Hit & run.
https://www.washingtontimes. com/news/2021/mar/22/heritage-foundation-leadership-resigns-we-accompli/
Quite sure it was the Federalist Society,
You really covered it. Remember, Little Judge Amy got that book deal, too. But, not the second one. We will see what happens next.
She’s a wholly owned subsidiary of the House of Bush and as been for 20 years. Nuff said
Barr is out with an editoreeeeeee!al warning Trump will “burn it all down.”
He said that like it’s a bad thing. Like the base doesn’t want precisely that.
More than ever, we’re willing to burn the whole fake, fetid edifice of this corrupt regime and its uniparty of dunces who work against the People to the ground.
“burn it all down.” Yes, Barr got it right. Trump and MAGA need to burn all of this RINO repetoire.
He said that like he doesn’t know that Trump is our GOPe murder weapon.
..
effectively a bill of attainder.
And where would one go now for redress?
Well, let’s see . . . voting doesn’t work, courts don’t work, griping doesn’t work. Hmmmm . . . I dunno.
But I do know this: We will never vote or reason or sue or complain our way out from under tyranny!
This is just a distraction from the main event..
Don’t look across, look up. You have one, consequential decision to make and it doesn’t depend on any government or candidate.
My belief is DT was given to us to, in fact, burn it down. The USA government and corporate world is a carcass with the smell reaching heaven. Be right in your soul and ready to go as it’s not going to improve.
Yup.
Yup.
Kevin McCarthy and incoming Ways and Means Chairman need to announce they will be requesting tax returns of Nancy Pelosi, Steny Hoyer, Hakeem Jeffries, Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, and more.
Maxipad Waters.
Bwahahahahah.🤣
Does anyone see any hint that McCarthy will actually do something other than send subpoenas and have his colleagues write sternly worded letters and do the Sunday talk show rounds insisting that ‘if only’ . . . (whatever their latest excuses are)?
Kevie won’t do anything his boyfriend Frank Luntz doesn’t tell him to do.
He does not have the votes.
The vote is January.
McCarthy claims to be the house speaker but he is not a this time.
Let’s pray he WILL NOT.
He is a liar and a total sell out to MAGA. Actually he is a swamp dweller. He needs to go grovel to soros for more money to buy votes.
No – wives, husbands, children, cousins, parents, aunts, uncles.
Kevin McCarthy will do no such thing. Kevin is a bona fide RINO . With close ties to lobbyist Luntz, who he shared an apartment with. McCarthy needs to go. As does McConnell and Mc Daniel, for starters.
Next year, the incoming House GOP should subponea every Supreme Court Justice’s tax returns in response.
Excellent idea. And get PelosiGalore to release hers as well.
I love these comments expressing faith in the GOP and advising them what they need to do to advance the MAGA cause.
Made me laugh, too
I don’t think anyone is “expressing faith in the GOP…”. Most people here are realists and know the Cabal has no intentions for voting on their demise. We are at the end of the line; so speak freely of how much the swamp is hated, right down in our guts. They can’t arrest all of us.
no but they can nuke us i suppose.
or kill us with covid vaccines
Most people have wised up to the clot shot..yes, still some stupid, ignorant people out there, but for the most part people have stuck a fork in the Covid con
Too many FILTHY LIBERALS in Washington, and No they haven’t moved on from Covid BS. The people in power will mask and destroy you for their fun. They are evil. Evil must be confronted and destroyed, whether their name has an “R” or “D”, it’s all UNIPARTY and must be burned to the ground and then burned some more.
Lol
yeah, that ignorance is getting old
wise up folks!
The Judicial Branch is the least transparent branch of the government. For example, there currently exists no inspector generals of the federal courts and the Freedom of Information Act neither applies to the Legislative Branch (Congress) nor the Judicial Branch (U.S. Courts).
I would go further and say FOIA is just about useless right now…years to produce documents, if they even produce it; national archives **conveniently** loses documents and hard drives so that they **cannot** produce anything. We’re full-on gangsta corrupt. There is no oversight by the corrupt congress of the corrupt departments.

Dammit
Was supposed to be the “this is fine” meme
Come on now Jeanine, we all know it was a nice BIG way of you telling these crooked politicians to “Get The Hell OUT” 😉
Love it.
Exactly. You know the Supreme Court is compromised. Why did they just happen to do this today?
right…I still think Thomas is salvageable.
Supreme Hostage.
Since privacy does no longer matter, President Trump just needs to give Americans a lesson on taxes. 🤔
“Wreck it all….
All of it…”
Sounds good to me.
But how ?
Cold anger. Get your anger nice and cold.
And then? Years I have been reading about we shoulda, coulda, woulda done (fill in the blank) and it is always the same result. Nothing.
I think the most obvious course of action is simply too horrible and terrifying for even the most patriotic citizen to contemplate.
I contemplate it daily, and I think many others do too. If you can’t, then you still suffer from confirmation bias over your own stash of civic fairy tales learned in childhood about the inherent goodness of the State.
and so is the current situation.
If you scroll down to the Steve Bannon video below & within the first 8 mins., he says that “no matter what the mainstream media tells you, the Republicans did WELL in taking the majority of the house”!
I watched almost 10 mins. of Steve’s video this morning & I heard him say this, so our situation as Conservatives is not as grave as the Liberals want us to believe!
See something wrong…Say something loudly or nothing will change for the better.
And it will continue to be nothing because most people who pitch that sort of solution are Internet Tough Guys with copies of The Turner Diaries next to their beds with the pages stuck together. They’re angry, tiny-fisted day-dreamers. The Internet just gives them another place to fantasize out loud.
Do they expect to find tax fraud like he didn;t pay taxes? would’nt
the IRS have come after him if that were the case? IF there
was something fraudulent to find wouldn;t the IRS have found it?
They aren’t looking for fraud. They are looking for anything that could be released to make it look like “Orange Man bad” to an ignorant public.
Tax law is so convoluted and complex these leftist swine can make a headline out of the most benign deduction. We’ve seen it over and over.
Perzactly!
Yeah, like when the MSM claimed Warren Buffet’s secretary paid a higher personal income tax rate than he did.
Trump is routinely audited, in part, because of the large write offs he took back in the 90’s.
If he were doing anything illegal, the IRS would have nailed him.
Truthfully, I don’t think he is afraid of anything on there – they can spin this and that , but they are legal deductions etc , had it done by Big Accounting Firms over and over and been audited and reviewed Up and down and inside and out by IRS, and with their special friends looking over their shoulder , click bait headlines ….. –
Honestly, I’m expecting a media backfire; that the tax return will show that President Trump has actually LOST considerable wealth over the last six years due to the political targeting and malicious prosecution of him and his family and yet he still gives considerably to real charities that most probably aren’t even aware of.
I think its going to lead to a massive outpouring of sympathy for President Trump as the people see a man who is sacrificing everything for this country being targeted for destruction by jackasses whose fortunes only grow as they steal from the working class to line their pockets.
Because that’s how the Trump Boomerang works…
“We’ve got him this time! Wait, what’s that whooshing noise?” *BONK*
JANUARY 3rd…FJB!
They will use it to make more false statements, and to increase the have Nots jealousy of those who work hard and make money. I agree, burn it all down. I’m sick of this crap.
Exactly. Anything Trump has on DC should be released immediately. Drop the MOAB on them.
and then drop another one.
Just to be sure….
Then wipe it clean with bleach bit.
Precedent:
This here is what I’m hoping!
Yep
would be nice…but lets hope they are not tied up with the new special counsel and hiding for dear life
Not to mention also sets precedent to go after previous presidents and I suspect congress members too
That aught to make the Bush’s , Clintons and the Obama’s very nervous.
Hope that Clinton Foundation records get made public, including all documents, correspondence, recordings, bank records and tax filings, everything that has been done to the Trump family, including the President’s children, should mean the Clinton’s kid can be met with the same.
won’t happen. the donks play to win….the gop plays to get paid.
sounds great, however the Uniparty deal is already in place; rinos won’t do that
The only way this will stop is when the Democrats who are part of the 1% they hate so much are investigated with the same vigor as Pres. Trump!
Nancy Pelosi has 100 Million in the Bank, most likely made THOUSANDS of mistakes in the past with her Taxes. Same with Diane Finestien, a BILLIONAIRE who had a Chinese Communist Spy working for her as a Driver for decades. It’s time they were made accountable and fully transparent in their dealings and taxes!
And lets not forget Brandon… I’m pretty sure Hunter who was doped up 9/10ths of the time made countless errors and statements to the IRS!
I’ve been wanting some GOP Attorneys General to do just that. Who funded the 2020 riots? Who’s funding all the illegal immigrants to come to this country? I’m guessing foundations associated with Soros, Gates, Buffett, Steyer, Bloomberg, et al., as well as corrupt organizations like Catholic Charities and the Ford Foundation, were the source of the money. They should go after them both civilly and with criminal charges.
@BV Conservative, I think there is a EXPONENTIALLY stronger case about who funded the “Peaceful Yet Fiery Protests”than Pres. Trump’s taxes.
The Liberal Cultists had 6 years to FIND ANYTHING on Pres. Trump, two of which were when our Government was under Demoncrat Cultist control. It would be easier for the Demoncrats to find the Ark of the Coventant than get Pres. Trump on these fictitious charges.
How come there are not many “likes” for your comment?
This is exactly right! Best comment of the week!
This is what should happen!
Yeah. Start by tracing who provided those white coaches that the anti-fa terrorists rode around in.
So now we have a Supreme Court weaponized against MAGA/AF. Should not be surprised I suppose. Et tu, Clarence and Samuel?
If only he got to release them, paper copies only, and not in very good order. As I recall, one year’s filings on paper formed a stack about 3′ high. Maybe agree to put the paper in a secure location in Florida for congressmen, no staff to look at no more than an hour a day. Just dreaming here.
Hand written, in blue ink, have to ensure which is copy and which is original. Could use red ink, makes it harder to copy, Just Saying. 🤔🤔
When do the Washington DC people get to the gates of Hell? Will we know and how will we know such has occurred?
It appears the name of this game is to “get Trump at any cost, no matter what it takes, no matter how long it takes” by those who know how fortunes are made in their city!
And yet, the vast majority of citizens within America have not come to realize the “dark ages” are upon us.
Is it wrong for me to consider studying up on what it takes to be a “prepper” so that I may survive this new holocaust?
Maybe I should call the ghost of Ted Kennedy and take a midnight ride over a bridge…
I think I’d call the ghost of Marilyn Monroe before Teddy. She probably wouldn’t lie to you
That was a smart answer…I love it!
Maybe Mary Joe’s ghost writer…
So they think the worlds most investigated, persecuted man in all of history has something to hide in his tax returns that have been filed already with the US government….. LMAO this is the stupidest “we got em now” yet.
I highly doubt there is a MAGA voter out there after seeing PDJT tax returns who will all of sudden say well that does it i’m voting democrat now. … I mean seriously, what other purpose and or expected outcome could they be after?
Also, if there was anything wrong or anything that could have been twisted, it would’ve been leaked years ago. Rachel Madcow found that out.
Agree. It’s another psychological weapon in their arsenal to assist their lies to keep defaming him at all costs. MAGA folks know their ploys so won’t have any new effect like they’re hoping no matter how much the media spins this bs.
This will be used by Schiff and Company to leak lies and smear by WaPo and the Slimes. PT should just release it all tomorrow morning.
Same thing can be applied to FJB’s tax returns once Republicans take back control of the House.
We need to pressure them to do it!!
My thoughts are the Democrats have had Trump’s tax documents since the Mueller investigation. They needed the “fight” to keep it in the news…you know, why would Trump need to hide his returns. Now, they can use the information and leak what they consider juicy details to the media.
May just backfire, though. Wouldn’t it set a precedent for ALL future Presidents?? Maybe the current one too?
Bad precedent no matter the party.
I imagine Trump will release stuff to counter any selective leaks.
Was there a vote by all of Scotus?
I’d like to see Bidens family taxes, Pelosi’s, Schiff’s, Shumers, Obama’s taxes then.
Coming up!
Any chance of “Claw Back”??
We get to see all of it now, right?
Clinton, Bush, Obozo, PedoJoe?
Right?
I hope so and if that’s the case, expect to see amended tax filings preceding them.
Um … Obviously these soulless bloodsuckers fail to realize this decision opens THEM up to the same type of scrutiny…
Regardless of what they have been promised, the fact that they’ve previously sold their sold to Satan does not help them *yet* here on Earth.
This changes nothing.
Carry on, MAGA!!
“Same type of scrutiny”. And who might do it? I’m sure they feel quite assured they won’t get a return treatment…..who from……McCarthy?
Most likely after the complete exposure of everything Trump, whether private documents or tax returns, is completed, and nothing illegal is found, then the media and all the politicians of both sides of the aisle will discover their morals and begin decrying what happened to President Trump and his family should never happen again – so
basically we will see a collective Emily Letila ‘oops, never mind’ as the media and politicians close ranks to ‘never let such a thing happen again’.
It’s how they work.
… but, it’s not how WE work so there is that.
We have GOD, the TRUTH and TRUMP on our side so there’s that, too.
And, um there’s ALWAYS this…
This isn’t going to work out the way they think it’s going to for them. Because, well… It never does.
I’m over the whole ‘we got him THIS time’ regurgitated left-wing talking points. It’s just another … nothingburger with a big fat side of … otherwise horrible news for current WH Resident Joe Xiden … so we can’t talk about THAT so let’s focus on TRUMP TRUMP TRUMP….
Sounds good to me!

What should be the focus now is to have the Republicans on the committee lay a trap for the obvious leaks of the tax returns that are to come. They should be extremely vigilant in spying, yes spying, on every Democrat on the committee waiting for the leaker to spring into action. Then the full force of the law should be brought down on that leaker.
What should be and what will be are obviously two different things.
ALL OF IT AND NOW!!! 🙌🏼
Sundance,
I’m the Steve on Twitter @stevenobx that religiously retweets you @thelastrefuge2 along with David Shoeless and your Golden Retriever friend.

Keep fighting the Good Fight Grasshopper and I pray that things are getting better down in Paradise.

I don’t care and frankly, this kind of political harassment makes people like Trump even more.
The professionals hired by people like Trump don’t make mistakes. And don’t think Trump isn’t audited. I believe he is standing up for principles sake, for our sake, and that makes me proud to support him.
I doubt this will move the needle on either side. I imagine the GOPrick RINOrats and Demonrats have most to lose if there is really nothing after years of huff and puff.
Yep; time to bring it down around their ankles. Going to be a really Big Ugly these next few years.
Hey Trump. Get your ass back on Twitter. Can’t fight a war with one hand tied behind your back. Truth is toast. Twitter gives you direct comms with 100 million of your best. Not a matter of if, only when. Might as well do it now, before things get worse.
Yeah, they’re gunning for him now. No holding back. Supreme Court. DOJ. And now this. Sundance made a pretty good case. But I never thought DeSantis would tip his hand this early. Whoops. They forgot one small detail. The cat is out of the bag.
Article says,”Top Republicans in the Florida legislature said Tuesday that they’d be willing to change state election law so that Gov. Ron DeSantis could run for president without resigning from his current job.” No mention that DeSantis requested it…
Hmmm… Where have I heard this before? Sundance is The Man!
So you want Trump to act like an abused wife and run back to her abuser .. LOL
Do you understand the power of direct communication with 100 million people, as opposed to not? Elon musk, “here take this Gatling gun.” Trump, “Nah,I’m pretty happy with my bow and arrow.”
another no standing ruling by a corrupt court. ho hum. wokism now rules the country.
With friends like SCOTUS who needs enemies.
7 years after trump on a dozen different level and….bupkis. any other human by now would have committed suicide or murder.
President Trump did not make money as President…..unlike Biden, Obama, Bush sr and jr, and Clintons.
President Trump didn’t profit off of COVID unlike Fauci, other members of government agencies , and countless Congressional members
Don’t worry about the new Republican House asking for any Dem’s tax returns.
They have no BALLS.
And the compliant rinos are too stupid to realize the Dems will destroy them as soon as they are no longer useful.
Another precedent set that’s going to come back to bite them.
I think there’s ample evidence now to subpoena the Biden’s tax returns. CBS just confirmed the laptop’s authenticity. Where is the lawfare for this?
A smart Trump would avoid anything ‘debatable’ …possibly pay a bit more tax that he might have to as private citizen and remain squeaky clean tax wise.
That isn’t how The Don thinks.
If you look far enough at The Don you will find irregularities.
He could not as large real estate developer avoid “irregularities” dealing with corrupt Unions, corrupt local govt, corrupt State govt and corrupt bureaucrats.
This means that Biden, Obama, Clinton, and the rest of the former Presidents will have to release their tax returns to the new 2023 Republican Congress because the Supreme Court has established a precedent.
This could be very interesting, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
I’m wondering what would happen if Trump short-circuited this whole mess and had his own lawyers release his tax returns. Would that kinda screw up the flow of money to people who might try and exploit this issue by selling access to the documents? What are we going to discover by seeing these returns, that Trump is a wealthy man? Gosh, what a surprise. Maybe we’ll find out just how complicated the tax code is for people who operate at his income level. Will this bring about tax reforms, or will it just give the harpies on “The View” something to chirp about for the next four years? Maybe we need a law where all current, past, and wanna-be presidents must make their returns public.
There is NO reason to subpoena POTUS Trump’s taxes to the Congress. The IRS has no doubt reviewed and audited Trump numerous times.
This “congress” is just looking to smear Trump on anything and everything. Witch Hunt 3.0. And the DS judges, all of them, are corrupt TDSers, on a partisan mission.
The IRS has reviewed and audited Trump numerous times. Most likely it’s an ongoing process. Only change here is that now, by releasing them, Trump’s adversaries can attempt to exploit the information to a gullible public that they’ve long since had access to where as it currently stands they would be disclosing confidential information.
I have no doubt that there is not one single tax paying person in this entire country that has not in one year on another padded expenses or forgot a few hundred dollars income or the like.
When this stuff starts leaking, every single person is going to inwardly shudder and be glad it’s not them.
I think Trump will gain a lot of sympathy as this plays out, from people who otherwise wouldn’t vote for him.
The IRS in your Country seems to play by the same “Playbook” as the CRA (formerly Revenue Canada) here in Canada.
The various State or Provincial Govt’s, pass & enforce so many ridiculious laws/regulations that make no Common-Sense just to make it hard to make any Profit at all, if you are Self-Employed.
And, then BOTH Countries rely on their Tax Collection Agencies to ENFORCE Compliant Behavior!
So, don’t we believe they really already have them? Weren’t they just looking for the court to allow them to do something with them? With as many corrupt leftists that work in our government, there is no way one of them hasn’t already sent those to whoever wanted them! And as has been said….he’s been audited probably more than anyone else in this country, he’s clean from top to bottom. He probably has been since the very first time some government power hungry “official” attempted to make an example of him!
Look forward to seeing SCOTUS judge’s taxes next year!
He shouldn’t give them anything. It’s not long before a new Congress can shut it down. The new Ways and Means Committee can withdraw its subpoena. And I would hope McCarthy would at least do that. If not, he’s even more of a RINO than I thought.
If this a president will the Republican party be able to use this same prescient in their investigation of the Biden’s? I would think so and I hope they do.
bad spelling. Precedent
Glad that I am not the only one.🤔🤗 Miserable Autocorrect 🤗🤗
The way I read it, the SC did not rule on or even hear this case. They just did not take it. And that decision is usually made by less than 3 justices depending on where the case originates as I recall from other refusals to take a case.
Self-censored to avoid damging the Lord’s name which I bear! 😑😑
Wreck it all???
No Sundance. Burn it all to the ground. Leave just enough of the ruins of this completely corrupt government to remind us on what not to let our government turn into again.
Washington needs to be fenced off and left to rot for our future generations to see
The House Ways and Means Committees first act in the new Congress should be to issue subpoenas for the tax returns of the Bidens, Fauci, various FBI, DOJ, and IC officials, Rodney Joffe, Obama, and anyone else they would like, under the important job they have to prevent conflicts of interest and to provide oversight of government officials personal finances intermingling with their official duties.
