    Except he did.

    He's demanding info from every Trump holding for every Trump deal he's ever done.

    And what are you afraid he’ll find?
    It’s almost like being the least transparent president in history breeds suspicion

    Well then let's see Cohen's documents that show Trump attempted a fraudulent loan application.

    I notice Mueller and the Democrats don't seem interested in those documents.

    True. Also mitigated by their willingness to attack another one of their targets. If we ran congress through the same investigation, how many would be left?

    You must be kidding me.

    You're here telling me that after two years of Mueller digging into Trump you'd like to keep going "just in case".

    Why don't you just start wearing a boot on your own neck as a future-proof idea.

    A private citizen should not have to show their taxes.

    A public official, EVERY public official, should be required to show their financials on a yearly basis. The fact that these officials have the authority and more over, the power to financially enrich themselves without public knowledge, can actually facilitate corruption. Releasing financials helps to check that.

    I'm not sure how anyone who is against government corruption, and over spending, can reconcile in their mind supporting allowing elected officials to hide their financials and possible corruption, and then scream about how much they spend.

    If they were interested in every government official, I would agree.

    That's not what this is about.

    Congress can pass a law anytime they'd like doing just what you suggested.

    We both know they won't.

    He did not mitigate his sentence by flipping. He got the book thrown at him. I feel safer, do you?

    Are there any criminal laws you’re comfortable enforcing?

    Yeah because when you're looking for collusion with foreign governments you'd avoid looking at money trails and bank accounts.

    He must have been looking for Ostrich coats instead.

    Yeah you're right, banks would be the last place you'd look in transnational tin-foil hattery.

    Since Cohen has these documents, that means Democrats have these documents.

    Where's the investigation into Bill collusion.

    Yes - a fraudulent loan application.

    Sure. Maybe a Russian helped him fill it out too.

    Try that one, it gives the baseless claim some spice.

    Have Cohen present his "proof" or he can ****.

    If they have the formal paperwork Cohen submitted for the loan they have all they need.

    All they have to have the bank do is confirm it matches what they have.

    Please continue with the Wile E Coyote hijinks. It should work out for you guys as well as it has the last two years.

    Must be depressing.

    In two years you've gone from "Trump and Putin in the Star Chamber" to "Trump tried to buy the Bills".

    They want to confirm cohens paperwork is legit. That’s why they’ve subpoenaed the bank.

    No, they've subpoenaed every bank for every transaction he's ever done.

    That's why Trump is going to win his lawsuit.
