Republicans are begging a top Democrat to drop the quest for Trump's tax returns

Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee requested that the Democrat in charge change course on obtaining President Trump's tax returns.

The top Republican on the committee, as well as the ranking members on its oversight subcommittee, characterized it as an abuse of authority.

The House Ways and Means Committee is holding its first hearing on presidential tax returns on Thursday.

at how far these idiots go out of their way to protect IQ45. Not only is he a national disgrace, he is helping to destroy their own political party (as they would say on Seinfeld, "Not that there's anything wrong with that...&quot . The longer they stay with him the farther they will fall with him.
It just boggles my mind.
