Tax Day for Trump

don Trump is hiding behind the lie that he can't release his tax returns because they are under audit. This is, of course, a lie. The real reason is that revealing his dealings (even if they were lawful for a private citizen) would cause him to be impeached.

The House of Representatives should question the head of the IRS. They should ask if the president needs to keep his tax returns secret because they are under audit. They should ask if his 2016 taxes are under audit.

The answers will be 'no'. Then the House should pass a law making it mandatory for Presidents and presidential candidates to release their tax returns. This law would include the current White House resident.

Then he could refuse and be impeached or comply and get impeached.

But the House won't do that because they are not yet ready to get rid of him. But the 2018 elections are fast approaching and that will cause the reps to worry. So stay tuned. This could get even more interesting.
