The Unconventional Idea
But what if the returns were dumped on the committees lap by an IRS employee without the Committee having made a request? That could happen under the very last paragraph in subsection (f).
Section §6103(f)(5) is a whistleblower exception to the general rule of nondisclosure. It permits disclosure of tax returns to one of the tax-writing committees by any person who otherwise has or had access to any return or return information under this section when that person believes that such return or return information may relate to possible misconduct, maladministration, or taxpayer abuse.
The plain language of this provision suggests that an IRS employee who otherwise has authorized access to Trumps tax returns could blow the whistle on Trump if that employee believes Trumps tax returns related to possible misconduct or possible maladministration.

Financial crimes cases can't be made in a couple of weeks! It requires forensic accountants and payment tracers and all kinds of specialized investigators.

(42,770 posts)they could be accessed through the proper channels. The laws don't state that only the taxpayer could do that under subpoena/ruling.

(25,848 posts)The IRS takes the confidentiality of tax records very seriously, and does not hesitate to fire employees for simply looking at records they are not supposed to.
Plus, at this late date I'd venture that Donnie's tax records hardly matter any more. The out and out treasonous behavior is what matters.

Trump is loved primarily because he hates the browns, the blacks, the asians, the pointy-headed intellectuals. He wants to build a wall. The "southern strategy" worked for Nixon, it worked for Reagan and it worked for Trump. Nothing else really matters.
