Show us the TAXES!

Peegate is hilarious, but you know what would make more sense? Actually getting a peek at the tRump's taxes to see if there is anything incriminating in them. It seems like Peegate has backfired and given more credence to tRump's fake news conspiracy. I do not want to fall into a trap. I do not want to be mislead from the real news by sensationalism. This is getting dangerous. tRump attacked two media sources today, basically telling buzzfeed he would see they get shut down after he is sworn in.

The taxes route worked for Al Capone. It wasn't as sexy as listing all his hits, but it worked to put him away.

After he takes office, he gets to appoint Treasury/IRS leadership.

Bet the tax return issue simply goes away.

All this other junk (Peegate, conflicts of interest, cabinet picks) really ought to be secondary to the taxes. I believe taxes might be the only way to get him, and he knows it. It's the elephant in the room, and he doesn't mind whatever is in the day's news cycle distracting us from it.
