>> Which is not the same thing as either having a right to or having curiosity about. The thing is that I have no problem with the law in §6103 that gives Ways & Means the right to inspect the president's tax returns. That law has been there for years, and IMO, has never been abused. But every Democrat who mentions this seems to believe his gives the public the right to inspect a former president's tax returns. That is not at all what 6103 does; it allows Ways & Means to have access. The same code section specifically precludes the release of that information to the public. Yet, it seems partisans already believe they have some kind of "right" to see this information, and they know these Democrats in Congress will get it out there they day they get their hands on it. Perhaps it is just curiosity, but I would say it is just one more breakdown in the rule of law. A Democrat vision of preventing Trump from becoming president -- which is NOT an allowable reason for having access to those tax returns. Of course, what we know is there are no more audited tax returns in history than Donald Trump's. Congress has already conducted an audit. The IRS has. The state of NY has, twice. And they can't find anything wrong with them. It is a sick infatuation if you ask me. Do what the law allows, but be up front if your intent is to satisfy your curiosity.
