      The Democrats are in a hurry that's why they want him to volunteer, if Dems subpoena him the knee jerk reaction in Washington is take it through the courts it will take months to years and has a 50/50 chance of being denied. Even when the investigative committee is given subpoena powers the person being subpoena still has rights and can fight it through the courts. Maxine Waters should have dismissed him and bring him back the next day. The Democrats wanted a show

    The presidents tax returns are none of anyones business. The people trusted him to vote him into office and that's all that matters. THE PEOPLE. NOT CONGRESS.

    • @rachelshaw9985
      @rachelshaw9985 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      @Tracy Hipps First, the law. While it is true that IRS Code 6103(f) appears to give the committee the power to get tax returns, the statute must be exercised in a way consistent with Congress’ constitutional authority. The Supreme Court has said Congress has broad authority to conduct inquiries but that its authority is not unlimited. In the 1881 case Kilbourn v. Thompson, the Supreme Court held that Congress can’t use its powers to delve into someone’s private financial matters unless there is a proper legislative purpose. In 1957, the Supreme Court held in Watkins v. U.S. that a congressional information demand must relate to a “legitimate task of the Congress” and noted that Congress is not a “law enforcement agency” that can seek information to uncover or expose crimes.
      So the legal question will be: Is Congress’ purpose in seeking the president’s tax returns legitimate? As an initial matter, Congress cannot plausibly argue that it is exercising its impeachment authority, since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democratic leaders have explicitly disclaimed that the House is conducting an impeachment inquiry.
      This is a substantial limitation, as courts have recognized that under our Constitution, Congress’ impeachment powers are vast and exclusive. Instead of invoking impeachment, though, the committee said in its letter to the IRS that its purpose in seeking the president’s tax returns included, but was “not limited to, the extent to which the IRS audits and enforces the federal tax laws against a president.”
      The administration would likely argue that this is not a legitimate reason to obtain all of the president’s business and tax returns since 2013, particularly because it could be accomplished without knowing the details of all of the president’s tax information. This argument would be bolstered by the fact that Congress has never obtained or even sought the tax returns of any other president. The president will no doubt insist that efforts by House Democrats to obtain his tax returns are actually motivated by politics and not policy.
      Your disparaging remarks are just the typical display of the Democrat mentality and why we dont need people like that in positions of power running the country. No one wanted a baby raping killer as president even if she would have been the first woman to be President. That would have been a horrendous mistake. I have a right to express my opinion as do you but you have no right to verbally abuse me with name calling. Just who f$%& do you think you are to treat another human being that way? You dont even know me.

Oleg Donny's boyfriend this dude is like a fish out of water weird - I'm so tired mentally emotionally - just want to go sleep with my Selena stay in the bedroom for a week relax - yo the Bahamas ????? Omg unspeakable if I look st the other phone my adrenaline shoot through the roof seriously - that's whacked out seems there's nothing I can really do to control it - any fucking suggestion ? Got a suggestion for everything else tho ! Except when I'm up for two straight days fantasizing to my girlfriend and have non stop adrenaline rushing though me I'm scared to even look st that other phone I know I could get trapped I'm tired and cranky and would be far too easy to fall down the rabbit hole in a second and I'd be doing that till tomorrow ! That's absurd what else can I do? Ignore it ! I don't think that's even possible ! I'm in a jam I need to folic with Selena and hold her hand remain calm clear minded cause for two days now I'm a mess and can't concentrate ! So go tell Selena to come and cuddle with me ! I know how famous she is and I do t care means Nathan to me ! I'm happy for her obviously and think she deserves the highest praise she's perfect - but still doesn't mean Nathan as far as our relationship or cuddling or seeing means making excuses ! I don't know if she's with Taylor or home I can't follow her schedule I hate social media so much plus I'd spend the day looking for that kid with the comment that hurt Selena hate that stuff - honestly if I was her I'd but a small cellphone store and load the smartphones plural - on the plane and have my peeps call the White House as I was on my way to Massachusetts and coming to get me and tell them it's over and not gonna continue happening it's unacceptable and unnecessary and downright dangerous to do to people ! Beside being illegal obviously but that's no biggie ! The constitution belongs in the trash ! Means Nathan is terrorize Donny and the communication people of I was Selena specifically for doing this dumb annoying shit and dragging this out even longer and making it more difficult for everyone ! Make a point it's not happening in my watch enough is enough ! Go right around the obstruction and tell them all to go fuck themselves ! We waited and were patient and it's just ridiculous ! I want to go kiss Selena and be alone quiet peaceful lay there and do Nathan is get so mad and fed up with this communication stuff I'd be at the airport on my plane in one second ! Fuck this already sickening can y'all go ask Selena and see if she can come tomorrow ? Meet in Newport ! Watch hill Taylor's spot providence wherever quietly simple uncomplicated - remover Taylor's T-shirt ? Awesome simple man !! That's definitely me ! No disputing dat ! I'd love to see someone try to go through what I just did for these years and no phone or Nathan no job no money Nathan I want for nothing nowadays ! I love nice things but I'd rather be happy and with Selena if the companies and social media knows what's good for them they would give Selena a check and make sure that this disappears ASAP - I wouldn't want to worry about something or somebody like me ! It's just not worth the aggravation ! Nope I'd stroke the check and wash my hands of the headache ! Cut all and every tie that was ever made ! Too much hassle drama no thank you I'd be so excited to write that check and get me out of their lives ! I'd throw a party and celebrate ! Dealing with me on this particular situation omg no thank you I'm all set ! No way possible I'd go through that torture it's too unpredictable ! God knows what I'm gonna do just off the wall things no limit when it comes to this situation ! It's just not worth the trouble to deal with me ! Hell nah I'd be the first one to say get rid of the idiot in Massachusetts like ASAP he's driving me crazy already !so tell Selena to meet me tomorrow - on the very down low - Newport or at Taylor's or anywhere just quietly and secretly ! Alone ! It's easier and less drama no security he'll nah that's ridiculous ! I get it but it's still ridiculous ! Gotta get out of that area too much attention ! Take a break from the spotlight and hopefully maybe she will let me get her pregnant like Donny ! Donny is a lock - but Selena is a miracle and my dream girl ! Can't keep my eyes open so tell her I'll text her soon as I get up from god knows what I'll be doing but trying to rest for an few hours or an hour at least ! Then I'll be good shower and go see my girlfriend! That's the way it should be ! Go get dinner and watch a movie and chill drive in so many things to do as a couple it's fun ! Alone is cold dark and boring miserable ! Tough life being alone ! I laugh when people say they like the alone time ! I used to say the same and after three days you most definitely want want to be staying alone anymore it's depressing and sad ! Necessary at times but after a few days forget about it it's torture ! That's why death row says the single worst thing you can do to them is solitary confinement ! Yup go ask any one of them or the entire jail population ! It's torture on your mental heath if your weak mentally then you won't last it's too difficult ! Going through this prepared me to be able to marry Selena tho ! If she would ever want to do that ? Who knows I can't seem to get an answer ? I wish I knew so much easier knowing one way or the other not uncertainty - ! So can y'all ask her to specifically answer the question if she will marry me or think about it and be my girlfriend still ? I hope ? I don't even know that anymore ! I'get some rest and text her - tonight ! I just need to know and I'd be so much active and talkative and pro active and interactive attentive wanting to do things and follow and look and participate and instead it's blah blah blah and Nathan and I just don't bother with Nathan ! Shitty attitude to have ! Not knowing is hard and keeps me up at night screws with my emotions and mental heath ! If I still did drugs id be in big big trouble ! I just always think it's easier to be honest and clear and upfront ! Can't go wrong ! It's respectable and honorable ! Nobody can fault you if your true to yourself and honest forthcoming ! It's the hiding and the silence and wondering that cause people to start running their mouth and rumors and writing dumb things and I couldn't live like that knowing if I just said what I was feeling it would all disappear and wouldn't be in the papers or magazines ! To me it's an easy choice to just be honest and follow my heart ! Trust god and have faith ! Be happy ! It is what it is! Call it whatever ! But not saying anything just drives people crazy and they start on the comments and rumor mill and stories and magazines etc etc ! I would nip that in the bud rather quickly ! I just don't know why Selena doesn't do that rather than hearing rumors and seeing magazines and comments and whispers ! Forget all that ! Not worth it ! Let people say whatever their gonna regardless ! So who cares ! I don't know it enrages me and I can't understand why anyone would want to do things the hard way when the path is lite and the stones are glowing and screaming your name and you ain't hearing a damn thing ! I would be paying attention ! Oh yes especially after I saw a comment like she did the other day or night ! I'd be mad as a hornet and speak up and get things straight one last time put this thing to bed and any rumor floating around out there would end today ! Squash that situation ASAP ! Enough of that garbage ! It's aggravating ! I'm speechless ! It's just too easy ! Either - yes Andy or - no Andy thank you but I can't ! Then move forward ! Imagine dat ? Saying nothing or remaining silent only feeds into the fire gets too many people talking trash !
