They keep saying "this sets a dangerous precedent"...How so?
Every president since Nixon has willingly released them, and faced the mandatory audit without once trying to worm out of it...And i imagine any president going forward will do so as well, unless they have as much to hide as trump.
I've never paid much attention to mo brooks, has he always been a Truman Capote level drama queen? "Nothing short of evil."...Again, how
so?
A public servant, whose eight immediate predecessors set both a precedent and an example, to instill trust in the office, bucked a tradition, one of the few good traditions in existence. The President AND the Vice President are ALWAYS audited, every year, but trump acted to gut the IRS for his personal benefit...fought all the way to the fucking supreme court to hide his tax records, only to have them tell him that the law isn't behind him...
And now that's "evil"...
i think perhaps a person in mo brooks' position sending this kind of message might be what is evil. trying to stir the pot, keep things bubbling, set the stage for "mutually assured destruction."...just out and out setting the stage for preordained retribution...for doing the right thing, that should have been done to begin with. just imagine how outraged they would be if we ever asked for something THE LAST EIGHT FUCKING PRESIDENTS DID NOT DO BECAUSE ITS JUST THE RIGHT FUCKING THING TO DO...
