Dave Reichert Votes Against Demanding Trump's Tax Returns

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Joining all of his fellow Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee, Western Washington Congressman Dave Reichert voted today against requesting President Donald Trump's tax returns.

Reuters:

A day after the Republican chairman of the House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee dismissed the idea, the panel's Democrats proposed an amendment demanding that the committee ask the Treasury Department for copies of Trump's returns by March 1.

"Unless this amendment is adopted, we will never see the president's tax returns while he's in office," Representative Sander Levin, a Michigan Democrat, told committee Chairman Kevin Brady at a public hearing.
"Before you stonewall this, I urge you to think twice," Levin added. "You'll only keep the issue... alive.

Brady strongly rejected the request as an abuse of the committee's authority.
Minutes later, committee rejected the amendment along party lines in a 23-15 vote.

1. Only one problem with Rep Levin's response

He should have said "You'll OWN this issue"

[enough]

2. My Representative, Patrick MEEHAN (PA 7) voted the same way on the committee,

of course. The great irony in Meehan's case is that he's also on the House Ethics Committee
