Rep. Kevin Brady (R-Texas) called on Monday for a probe into the sources of The New York Times story that detailed two decades worth of President Trump's tax records and financial dealings.

Brady, the head Republican on the House Ways and Means Committee, released a statement on the Times report that was published Sunday, saying a “felony crime was committed” by giving Trump’s tax information to the newspaper.

"While many critics question the article’s accuracy, equally troubling is the prospect that a felony crime was committed by releasing the private tax return information of an individual - in this case the President’s,” he said.

1. Tough shit-- investigate the felonies this alleged felony exposed.

[TheBlackAdder]

2. I guess this confirms the legitimacy of the tax documents, else they'd call them fake news.

[Nevilledog]

3. Fuck off Kevin

[apnu]

4. These aren't Schrodinger's tax returns

They can't be real and fake at the same time.

Which is it Kevin?

If fake, why waste time investigating?

If real, why question them at all?

Also, Kevin, the NYT doesn't have to reveal its sources to you or anybody else. There's a mountain of SCOTUS decisions on that very point so enjoy pounding sand you nitwit!

16. Now come on. Be nice. You expect a dumb anti-science Republican to

Know anything about the uncertainty principle.. the poor schmuck is just following Trump's marching orders.

[apnu]

20. Nah. He can keep up or get out.

I ain't pulling that dunce up by his bootstraps. He can be a big boy and do that himself.

[lastlib]

5. Our felonies are felonies, must be investigated/prosecuted......

Their felonies are off-limits entirely.

GOPher logic.

[judeling]

6. My guess is Melania

Getting out with as much as possible.

[Cha]

12. GMTA.. please see post #11

[Thekaspervote]

7. Dems... yawn, stay silent, ignore, blink, stare, issue an I'm concerned letter

Who gives a rats what that a hole wants!

[OnDoutside]

8. I'm surprised it took this long to try change the narrative.

[cayugafalls]

9. Yawn...go home piker...your guy is a loser.

[Wounded Bear]

10. As usual, shoot the messenger...

[Cha]

11. Brawahahahaah.. Funny if it led to "melanie"/melania

[uriel1972]

13. investigate the reveal not the crime...

that makes you an accomplice as far as I'm concerned.

[duforsure]

14. Brady by calling for this into the source instead of criminal tax evasion,

And being a National Security threat shows he has no business being in OUR government, and should be voted out of office for saying this. Protecting a criminal should piss the American people off enough to vote out all republicans for their corruption.

[DFW]

15. Vladimir has some of that nerve gas left over

He must have offered some to his Republican friends in case they had any use for it.

[treestar]

17. typical republicans

all about how they got caught, to distract from what they did.

[Boogiemack]

18. Yeah, wait until they find out it was Putin.

Trump is no longer useful to him. Mission accomplished. They probably want Trump gone from the headlines because he can now do damage to them.

[malaise]

19. They are more concerned about the source than the details

Fuck off enablers
