https://www.politico.com/story/2019/02/05/trump-tax-returns-congress-strategy-1145767What happens if the Treasury secretary just doesnt answer or sends back a note saying we refuse to do what you are saying? said George Yin, a former chief of staff on the House Joint Committee on Taxation, one of the three congressional committees involved in major tax issues on Capitol Hill.

(54,770 posts)1. Don't expect trump's tax returns to yield much usable info. It's not like there is a schedule
for payments from/to Putin, rogue banks, payments for endorsements, bribes, etc.
Maybe they'll show he didn't make as much as he wants people to think, or he paid almost nothing in taxes, but that's about it. So, I suspect people will say the returns were altered.

Should be called in under oath to testify. He's still in his position from not being honest and above board. The ones who won't be corrupt for red donnie are let go for someone who will.
