Just listened to Erin Burnett on CNN whose GOP guest was speaking against going after 45 tax returns

Talk about double talk and BS. The argument (or warning to Dems) is that "weaponizing the IRS to go after the tax returns of a private citizen" is treading on dangerous territory. the GOPer accused AOC of asking to do just that. So Trump's tax returns are off limits because the government cannot go after the tax returns of private citizens for "Political reasons" is against the law.

EXCUSE ME! When did Trump, as President become a "private citizen?" Isn't that the reason he can't be indicted because he is President and NOT a private citizen? Why didn't Erin ask that question?

The GOP simply cannot have it both ways to suit their shielding of Trump. I hope Nadler and the others in Congress do not let them get away with this crap.

They can't use "Executive Privilege" and refuse to indict a sitting President and then claim that said President is a private citizen.

It makes my head spin that the cable media allows the GOP to get away with "doublespeak."

1. the president of the United States...

is (or supposed to be) a public servant... somehow, many have forgotten that fact

2. 1. He's a govt official. (2) It's not for political reasons. It's for apparent crimes.

He's a jerk. Just curious: Did she point out that the President is not a private citizen?

I watched Ron Reagan Jr. and others on Hardball. I haven't seen Ronnie in ages. He always has something intelligent to say.

3. Airhead Burnett was a lightweight on the business channel, moreso on CNN.
