SCOOP: House Ways and Means is readying a request for years of Trump’s personal tax returns that should land at the IRS in the next few weeks. Democrats are prepared to "take all necessary steps," including litigation, to get them.

Via @harrylitman, Feb 20, 2019: To get Trump’s tax returns, Democrats just need to send a letter. "Richard Neal, as head of Ways and Means, could request Trump’s returns tomorrow and Mnuchin would have no apparent legal basis for refusal or delay."
#Maddow washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/…
Michael Cohen: "I presume Trump is not under audit [Trump's excuse for not releasing his tax returns]. Mr. Trump said he never wanted to release his tax returns because he didn't want a group of tax experts running through them."

Tick Tock, Trump.

Right, Trump. You made the decision to end US joint military exercises in Korea when Putin ordered you to during a Jan 2018 phone call. Mattis talked you out of it at the time but then you did it anyway during your first failed summit with Kim in Jun 2018.
Jan 2018: After a phone call with Putting, Trump had an idea about how to counter North Korea's nuclear threat – ending US joint military exercises with South Korea.
Jun 2018: Without discussing it first with DoD or US ally South Korea, Trump announced the end of US joint military exercises in Korea, adopting the propaganda language of North Korea, China, and Russia, by calling them "provocative war games."

In Oct 2016, FoxNews reporter Diana Falzone had proof of Trump's 2006 affair with Stormy Daniels AND of Trump/Cohen's hush money offer. Fox execs killed her story. “Good reporting, kiddo. But Rupert wants Trump to win. Let it go.”
by @JaneMayerNYer #Maddow bit.ly/2CcP78b
Despite the discouragement, Falzone kept investigating, and discovered that the National Enquirer, in partnership with Trump, had made a “catch and kill” deal with Daniels. Fox News execs killed that story too, and in Jan 2017, demoted Falzone.

The top tax-writing committee in the House is readying a request for Trump’s personal tax returns that is expected to land at the IRS as early as the next few weeks. Democrats are prepared to "take all necessary steps," including litigation

nbcnews.com/politics/congr…
Ways & Means Committee Chairman Richard Neal, D-Mass., has asked the committee’s attorneys to prepare the request. Neal has also contacted the chairs of several other House investigative committees on why they need Trump's tax returns to conduct their probes.
"Every day the American people and Congress learn more about President Trump’s improprieties, from conflicts of interest to influence peddling, potential tax evasion and violations of the Constitution — all roads leading back to President Trump’s finances,"

1/ We have a billionaire president who hides his finances. As other wealthy candidates like @HowardSchultz enter the race, Congress should also obtain and disclose their tax returns for the last 10 years.

A new law isn't needed. Congress can obtain returns under existing law.
2/ 26 U.S.C. § 6103 permits the House Ways and Means Committee, Finance Committee, and Joint Committee on Taxation to obtain tax returns of any citizen in closed session. They can do so without a vote of the full House. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26…
3/ The Committee could then submit the tax returns to the full House if there's a legitimate legislative purpose. One can imagine many legitimate purposes, given the need to ensure that presidential candidates do not receive special treatment or have conflicts of interest. /end

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
