Former Treasury Sec @LHSummers: For Mnuchin to decide whether to release Trump's tax return to Congress would be inappropriate & probably illegal. Mnuchin’s duty is clear – to tell the IRS chief to comply with the law & release Trump's tax returns.

NEW: During today's Congressional hearing, Mnuchin testified that Trump's White House lawyers consulted Treasury Department lawyers regarding the potential release of Trump's tax returns, despite laws meant to limit political involvement.
@Lawrence #Maddow wapo.st/2G3Hq4Z?tid=ss…
Under questioning from @RepMikeQuigley, Trump's IRS commissioner Charles Rettig won't say whether the decision to release Trump's taxes is his or Treasury Sec Mnuchin's [under a longstanding delegation, it's HIS decision, not Mnuchin's].

BREAKING: Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin says he needs more time on @RepRichardNeal's request for Trump's tax returns, that he's consulting with DOJ —claiming that it could "set a dangerous precedent..."

Mnuchin is stalling. SHALL means SHALL.

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, @LindseyGrahamSC. How many times do you have to be told that the Trump campaign WAS warned by senior FBI officials on AUG 17, 2016, that Russia was trying to spy on and/or infiltrate their campaign.
Aug 17, 2016: The FBI warned Trump's campaign that Russia would try to infiltrate their campaign and urged them to report any overtures. By then, 7+ Trump aides had contacts with Russian-linked operatives. None were reported to FBI, @LindseyGrahamSC.

When asked by @SenatorShaheen why he wants a probe into the origins of the Russia probe, Barr says because **he believes the US government spied on the Trump campaign.**

Barr is a full-blown conspiracy theorist just like Nunes and Trump.

🤔Any doubt Trump’s found his Roy Cohn? Asked today about House request for his tax returns, Trump says, “they’ll speak to my lawyers & the Attorney General.” The AG has nothing to do w/ this. Trump’s telling us Barr’s there to protect him. Sure has so far
😬Trump gave it away yesterday. Barr IS his Roy Cohn >> NEW: Trump Lawyer Contends Treasury Must Not Release President's Tax Returns Until the Justice Department Weighs In

It's bad Trump acts as if he's above the law. But it's truly dangerous any Attorney General would help him.
How breaking norms leads to breaking laws: Barr may bar IRS from obeying a clear statutory reqt to release Trump's tax returns to Congress? Clarence Thomas law clerk now Trump lawyer says IRS must seek a legal opinion from DOJ…& go all the way to SCOTUS😒washingtonpost.com/business/econo…

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
