Line of 2-4 abreast in a steady drizzle and about 5 blocks long couldn't get in and were heading back to wherever!

House committee sends new letter to IRS demanding Trump's tax returns

Source: CNN

(CNN)House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal is not backing down on his request for six years of the President Donald Trump's personal and business tax returns, he writes In a new letter sent Saturday to IRS Commissioner Charles Rettig.

In a two-page letter, Neal writes that he believes his committee is well within its rights to see the President's tax returns and that he expects a decision from the IRS within the next 10 days.

"I expect a reply from the IRS by 5:00 p.m. on April 23, 2019. Please know that if you fail to comply, your failure will be interpreted as a denial of my request," Neal writes.

The letter leans heavily into the committee's legal rational for the returns and Neal writes that, "I am aware that concerns have been raised regarding my request, and the authority of the committee. Those concerns lack merit. Moreover, judicial precedent commands that none of the concerns raised can legitimately be used to deny the committee's request."

How to Break the Republican Lock on God

The progressive leaders Pete Buttigieg and Stacey Abrams are confronting the hypocrisy of the religious right.

The best Christian argument against Trump comes from Christ. The essence of Christianity is his exhortation that people treat the sick, the hungry, the poor, the imprisoned as they would treat him. “Whatever you did to the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did to me.”

Looks like the "Chinese lady at Mar a Largo story" is gonna blow up.

Bob Baer on Cuomo explained what a mess that place is for SS. Said it's impossible to secure. She was just one Chines spy that got caught. Got past the SS! The receptionist is the only one to stop and question her and figured out she didn't belong there.

This is our government under a dotard.

Probably will get covered up big time though.
