Republicans threaten retaliation for release of Trump's Tax Returns

Democrats on the House Ways and Means Committee have followed through with their vow to make public six years of former President Donald Trump’s tax returns, giving the American public new insight into his business dealings and drawing threats of retaliation from congressional Republicans.

The release of the documents Friday set off a new round of attacks between Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill, including threats of escalating — and politically motivated — future releases of private tax information.

Democrats cast the move as necessary oversight on a president who broke decades of precedent in declining to release his returns.

But Republicans — who won control of the House in November — warned Democrats that they had started down a dangerous road and that public pressure could push the incoming majority to release returns from President Joe Biden’s family or a wide range of other private individuals.

Private individuals? I don't believe there's a legal precedent for that.

It's more like, "Nice family you have there Joe. Shame if something was to happen to them."

The senate should tell them bring it on and tell them they

then the Democrat's.
