A congressional tax oversight committee will not seek U.S. President Pussygrabber’s tax returns, despite calls from Democrats for a review to determine possible business ties to foreign countries including Russia, the panel’s Republican chairman said on Monday.

“If Congress begins to use its powers to rummage around in the tax returns of the president, what prevents Congress from doing the same to average Americans?” House of Representatives Ways and Means Committee Chairman Kevin Brady told reporters.

“Privacy and civil liberties are still important rights in this country, and (the) Ways and Means Committee is not going to start to weaken them.”

The Texas Republican was responding to questions about a Feb. 1 request from Representative Bill Pascrell, a Ways and Means Democrat who asked him to obtain Trump’s returns from Treasury so the committee could review them in closed session and vote on whether to release them to the public.

that the President, if Republican, is above the law.

(As if there had been any question of that.)

3. Kevin Brady the asshole from Texas 8th district who doesn't want to pursue this...

202-225-4901 Make sure you are calling from the 8th district. I live in Conroe TX, 77303. They asked for my street address but I said I will not give that out since I cannot trust the government for the moment.
