they would have done something about it at that time and that also would have become pretty public news..
HOW? DJT would have shown the world on his tax returns that he refuses to show?"
The IRS would have taken him to court and THAT would have been news reported by the media. He wouldn't have to show his returns to anybody and still doesn't have to.
It started off with Nadler wanting the returns I mentioned...now it's evolved into something more, and no matter what, Congress has NO right to demand them when they can't claim a crime that would require that scrutiny. They are only looking to be able to announce that they GOT them because he never disclosed them during his campaign and the people didn't CARE and voted for him anyhow. The complete financial records they SHOULD be interested belong to the Clinton Foundation and you can bet real money that Huber is investigating them.
Nadler won't get Trump's personal OR business tax returns because he has no business demanding them for a fishing expedition into a PERSON, especially when that person was a PRIVATE CIVILIAN during 2013, 2014, 2015, and most of 2016. He's pipe dreaming...….for media coverage for his base.
