New York Passes Law That Would Force Release Of Trump’s State Tax Returns

This week, the state of New York passed a law that would force the state’s tax commissioner to immediately hand over any tax returns that are requested by Congress, a move that is obviously aimed at allowing Congress to get their hands on Trump’s tax returns. Unfortunately, Democrats in Congress – at least, those who can make these decisions – have made it clear that they want to get their hands on ALL his tax returns and will settle for nothing less than that. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins explains what’s happening.

There's a very weird situation kind of playing itself out right now with Democrats, uh, who are heading up some of the committees in the House of Representatives and with politicians in New York. And here it is Democrats. Those in the ways and means committee. Uh, they want to get their hands on Donald Trump's tax returns and they need to get their hands on Donald Trump's tax returns.

Legislators in New York. Earlier this week, Governor Andrew Cuomo signed a bill into law that says the New York's tax commissioner will hand over any tax returns, state tax returns that the house ways and means committee and a few other house and Senate panels. If they request it, we will give it to you. No questions asked like you got. So here we have the Democrats in the house saying, damn, I wish we could get Donald Trump's tax returns. We're suing to get them cause they defied our subpoena and we're going to get them. And then New York's like, dude, we just passed this legislation. You can have them. Like right now we've, we've got them ready. I mean, we'll send our guy over with him in the car. We probably email you a pdf and the Democrats in the house like God, if only there was something we can do to get those tax returns.

And again, New York sitting here like, yeah, they're there, they're right here. We're, we're just want to hand them to, you want to meet somewhere, we can do whatever. And this is what is so frustrating about Democrats. Look, it's very obvious why the state of New York passed this bill and that's because they wanted to be able to give Congress Donald Trump's state tax returns. But Democrats in the past, even when New York offered these a month or two ago, the Democrats in the House said, no thank you. We want all of them. We want the federal and the state, not just the state yet goofballs. We don't want to see half his crimes. We want to see all of his crimes. And that makes absolutely no sense. In fact, what would make more sense is getting his state tax returns, finding potentially criminal things in their finding troubling things in there. And then you have one hell of a case to bring before a judge as to why you need to get your hands on his federal tax returns, but leave it to Democrats, man, to always shoot themselves in the foot and not even know what happened.
