Trump-Appointed Judge to Preside Over House Democrats' Tax Return Lawsuit

[CatWoman]

A Trump-appointed federal judge who donated money to the Trump presidential campaign will preside over House Democrats’ lawsuit seeking to obtain President Donald Trump‘s tax returns.

The House Ways and Means Committee filed a lawsuit Tuesday against the U.S. Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) demanding the release of the president’s tax returns after being rebuffed by the administration for months. The case was assigned on Wednesday to Judge Trevor N. McFadden of the District Court for the District of Columbia, who made headlines last month when he ruled that House Democrats did not have legal standing to challenge President Trump’s plan to fund construction of a wall on the southern border with approximately $6 billion intended to be spent elsewhere.

6. Elections have consequences

Those who voted 3Rd party or sat out 2016 can take credit for all these Dotard appointed judges.

8. Yes.

Not to mention the ones who voted Obama twice then turned around and voted for the Idiot. Hopefully, those people realized their mistake by now and won’t be stupid again come 2020.
