NY Senate passes bill allowing Congress to request Trump's state tax returns
BY NAOMI JAGODA - 05/08/19 01:25 PM EDT

The New York Senate on Wednesday passed legislation that would allow Congress to obtain President Trump's tax returns from the state.

The bill passed by a vote of 39-21. The measure now heads to the state assembly. ... Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D) has signaled he would sign the bill into law. ... The state Senate also passed a bill, in a 39-22 vote, that would allow New York to prosecute people who received presidential pardons if certain conditions are met.

The tax-returns legislation authorizes the New York commissioner of taxation and finance to provide state returns requested by the chairmen of Congress's tax committees, so long as the requests have a legitimate legislative purpose and as long as Congress is also requesting related federal tax returns from the U.S. Treasury Department.

The bill comes as House Democrats and the Trump administration are fighting over a request for Trump's federal tax returns.

JMG adds:

The bill must still pass the Assembly, but that’s a done deal as Democrats outnumber Republicans in that chamber by more than 2-1.

1. Is this a done deal now?

Or does the NY house AND governor need to agree?

4. The State Assembly has yet to pass either bill. Seems they are skipping over that part!

10. Truthfully???????

All these moves are like a giant waste of time.

It is taken to court, years later it finally gets to the U.S. Supreme Court and we all will know how that will end.
Even if the U. S. Supreme Court should somehow miraculously rule on our side, the Dept. Of Justice will need to enforce it and we know how they will act.

After years and years and years in the courts, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Exxon needed to pay six billion to clean up the Exxon Valdez spill. Exxon told "W" Bush/Cheney to buger off and that was the end of that matter........Exxon still hasn't paid any of the awarded amount ordered by the US Supreme Court

And that was minuscule compared to what is going on these days.......

2. And the Walls Came Tumbling Down...

3. I've yet to see anything on the likelihood of the State Assembly passing. Seems they are "skipping"

over that part and going on to discuss Cuomo signing.

So, anyone know how likely the State Assembly is to pass EITHER or BOTH bills?
