    The one person who lost money...

    Those who cheered as J-6 American prisoners were locked in solitary for 18 months without trial, now suddenly fight tooth and nail for foreign terrorists’ "due process". — Buck Sexton

      Did he do anything illegal? If so, prosecute away.

      If you're outraged, change the tax code.

      I doubt that he was personally involved with these returns. This is how accountants make a living.

      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

        Is anyone going to be prosecuted for breaking Federal law in this case.

          If the principal haven't done anything dubious to begin with, the accountant would have no raw material with which to craft questionable tax returns. After all, the accountant still make money when preparing 100% honest tax returns, with lower risks too.

              Now prosecute the House Ways and Means Committee for the same crime.

                As I said way way way back when, there are probably two reasons President Trump did not want to release his tax return

                he wasn't as smart a business man as he claimed and didn't make as much money
                he didn't donate very much money to charity

                I think if they examine the returns, I think both will probably be true.

                  Could very well be true.

                  Neither reason is enough for breaking the law.

                    Still no call for prosecutions of those who broke federal law by releasing his taxes.

                    Oh well.

                    But be careful of what you wish for, you might get it.

                    Asked in a new Rasmussen Reports survey if the incoming GOP House majority should release the taxes of Democrats who voted to reveal Trump’s taxes, 54% said yes.

                    And it wasn’t just Republicans, 63%, and independents, 53%, but included more Democrats than not. Rasmussen said that 45% of Democrats wanted the taxes of the Trump critics released to 38% who didn’t.

                    The partisan divide was much wider on the overall question of releasing Trump’s taxes, which is to be completed Friday by House Democrats. Some 53% said they approved of the release to 40% who disapproved.

                    Democrats especially were supportive, with 79% approving of the release. Among Republicans, 63% disapproved.

                    Sunlight, and all.

                    I think it was Pelosi who claimed that releasing the tax returns of other politicians is "different" because they're not the president.

                              True! I look at my W2, assemble the other deductions, hand everything over to the accountant, find out if I owe or not, then I put it in the file cabinet, and never even look at the return.

                                      Yeah, thanks. I'll try not to let "cynics" dissuade me from pounding nails into coffins. What had stood out to me was that no one seemed to see any crimes, so it's certainly cheerful to have The Daily Beast come along and declare — who needs crimes? — that there's never been a better reason to throw Trump in prison.

                                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                                        I think the best reason to release them was that he so clearly didn't want to disclose them.

                                        I know, it's childish and stupid. But so is he.

                                        I was only joking

                                          If the Daily Beast says it it’s automatically wrong.
