We're not anywhere near seeing drumpf's taxes... if we ever see them
I just kind of bring this up just to show what the Dems are up against vs. a person who has literally made a life for himself by suing and filing bankruptcy. If drumpf has done one thing well in his life it is hire lawyers to get him out of EVERYTHING.
Case in point... his taxes.... the Dems sued months ago to enforce the law allow them to see his taxes. They asked for an expedited timeline that still left them not having oral arguments until October 25th, and even THAT was denied. There is no telling how many months it will take to actually get to this, maybe even not before the election.
This is no way to run a country. When serious questions of crimes having been committed that effect national security, we shouldn't be waiting months for judicial resolution. The de facto result of all this is that Congressional oversight has been rendered mute by the judicial branch... at least not in any timeframe that is helpful to the country.

A federal judge on Thursday rejected House Democrats’ bid for quick consideration of their lawsuit seeking President Donald Trump’s tax returns.
D.C. District Court Judge Trevor McFadden denied their request to both expedite consideration of the case and to decide on its merits without holding a trial.
“This is no ordinary case, but the weighty constitutional issues and political ramifications it presents militate in favor of caution and deliberation, not haste,” McFadden said. “This case presents novel and complex questions about the privileges and authority of all three branches of the federal government.”
House Ways and Means Chairman Richard Neal (D-Mass.) is suing for Trump’s federal returns under a 1924 law allowing the heads of Congress’ tax committees to examine anyone’s personal tax records. The Democrats are seeking six years of Trump’s personal returns and some of his business filings.
