Republicans on the House Ways and Means Committee intentionally brought up a resolution compelling Trump to release his tax returns for the sole purpose of voting it down so that the returns stay hidden.
It all went down on Thursday, as Seth Hanlon, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress, tweeted:
Hanlon went on to point out that by shooting down the resolution House Republicans weren’t even sure if they were helping the President to cover-up any crimes. The Republicans made themselves willingly complicit in any Trump financial crimes by blindly helping him to bury his tax returns from public view.
When the Russia scandal hits the fan, and Republicans in Congress go scrambling for distance and cover, keep in mind that the Republican Party has enabled and been deeply involved in the Trump cover-up. Any Republican who helps Trump hide his tax returns is enabling a corrupt president.
The Russia scandal is bigger than Trump and the 2016 presidential election. It is also the story of how the Republican Party enabled, turned a blind eye, and in some cases completely sold itself out to Trump corruption.
