Today marks exactly five months since @HouseDemocrats took over the House but we are barely any closer to getting Trump’s tax returns thanks to @RepRichardNeal and @SpeakerPelosi’s continued sluggishness. Let’s review → (1/5)
It has been…
236 days since @SpeakerPelosi told us that requesting Trump’s tax returns would “be one of the first things we’d do.”
151 days since @RepRichardNeal gained the power to make the request. (2/5)

At every turn @RepRichardNeal & @SpeakerPelosi have delayed, wasting valuable time. We could be winning in court already, but leadership’s apparent fear that confronting @realDonaldTrump could force them into impeachment is leading them to shirk even obviously popular issues(5/5)
