(22,114 posts)on his taxes for a long time. Otherwise, why would he fight so hard to keep them secret? That's always what I believed, that (1) everyone pays taxes (2) and yeah, sure there's privacy issues involved, but when it comes to public service, we all deserve to know exactly where his money comes from, how he got it, what he pays in annual taxes, etc.
I suspect that we'll finally all hear that he literally pays no taxes at all, considering what he claims he's worth.
I suspect that there will be anger in the streets considering that he pays less of a percentage that the common man or woman on the street pays. And I suspect that he's double-dipped his deductions, understated his income, overstated his deductions. A trifecta of wrongs in doing his taxes. My ? is why has the IRS let him get by w/ so much?

(50,949 posts)the agreement is that Mazars can decide which documents it thinks satisfy the subpoena, and therefore which documents it will hand over.
So his accomplices in the theft are the ones deciding which documents to give to the Committee.
Here's the thread with the link to the Times article stating that
The settlement allows for Mazars to exercise its independent judgment in determining which documents are responsive to the committees subpoena."

(128,905 posts)not the State of NY and their civil & criminal cases, nor DOJ. It's a "Congressional subpoena", not a federal grand jury subpoena.
Congressional Committees can't really do anything other than refer to DOJ and one of the issues that even triggered this was because unlike his predecessors 40+ years prior, he refused to release his most recent returns, which lead to this convoluted court battle. They have been attempting to get all of this info in order to write and/or tweak legislation to require future candidates to disclose their returns, among other things.
