SHOULD HOUSE DEMOCRATS RELEASE TRUMP’S TAXES?

Yes.

The substantive question of whether a president’s or presidential candidate’s tax returns ought to be public is extremely easy to answer: Of course they should be, as a matter of law. The idea that Donald Trump has an interest in keeping his finances private that trumps (sorry) the public’s interest in learning the details of his endless financial peculations is beyond absurd. Whatever rationale Democrats stitched together for the purposes of litigation is just irrelevant to the more basic issue of whether the public needs to know the ins and outs of Trump’s grifting, legal and otherwise. Yes it does, and the sooner the better.
