Trump Is Desperate To Shield His Tax Returns From Congress - YouTube

Donald Trump is so desperate to prevent Democrats in the house of representatives from getting

their hands on his tax information that he sent his lawyers to Washington DC this week,

where they went in front of a judge and begged the judge to go ahead and issue a summary

judgment telling house committee.

They can not have Donald Trump's tax information from his accounting firm, maze ours.

And by the way, the legal argument they used is absolutely mind blowing considering their

previous arguments.

Now in the past, Donald Trump's lawyers had gone into court and they said, listen, they

can't have his tax information.

He's the president of the United States.

He can't be burdened with this kind of thing.

He's a busy guy, not to mention.

They argued.

It's not related to any specific legislation.

So, you know, they really, really have no, no room to do this to the president of the

United States.

So this week, this week, they go to court in front of a judge and they say the Mays,

our subpoena remains a demand for the president's information based on precedent, specific justification,

subject to president's specific defenses, the committee's justification's concerning

the Trump presidency cratered once he stopped being president.

So, so his lawyers had previously [inaudible] argued in court.

You can't have this information because he's, and now they went to court and said, you can't

have this information because he's not president.

So whether he is, or isn't president, you are not allowed to have his info because we

say you're not how, I mean, I hope they do some stretches before they jumped into those

legal linguistic gymnastics, because Holy cow, that's bad lawyering.

Uh, the Supreme court obviously has already ruled, uh, not necessarily for Congress, but

for the investigations up in New York, they said, listen, you're not protected by executive

privilege anymore.

Your arguments that I can't do this because I'm the president, you can't make those arguments.

And so therefore Donald Trump had to turn his information over to those investigators

up in New York.

There is literally no reason to think that courts wouldn't rule in the same way.

With regard to this matter.

See the house oversight committee wants their hands on Donald Trump's tax information to

identify any potential conflicts of interest that at the time existed or now would have

existed during Donald Trump's presidency.

And sure it wasn't related to any specific legislation, but that doesn't matter because

the committee actually has the authority to request the tax information of any American

citizen that they please and Donald Trump tried to argue, or his did that.

He wasn't just a citizen.

He was the president, but now as they made clear, he is not the president of the United

States.

He's just a citizen.

And therefore, within their own argument, based on their previous argument, it's all

nullified big question of the day here, right?

Why the hell does Donald Trump care?

What are you trying to hide?

That's the question.

I think everybody at this point still wants answered.

What are you trying to hide?

Why are you so desperate to keep these tax returns from landing in the hands of the house

oversight committee?

There is obviously no doubt at this point among rational thinking human beings, that

he clearly is hiding something.

Maybe he's hiding from embarrassment, you know, showing that he's not quite worth as

much as he likes to claim he is that would hurt his ego, but it wouldn't affect literally

anything on this planet.

Or he could be hiding some potentially, uh, problematic financial connections.

I'm guessing it's one of the two.

And to be honest, I actually think it's more of the embarrassment thing.

I do believe Donald Trump has been lying about how much he is worth for many, many years.

And he doesn't want the truth to come out because in Trump world being embarrassed is

actually a hell of a lot worse than being basically accused of criminal conduct.
