why would releasing tax returns 'destroy' anyone?

You notice how he fails to mention that?

They found the stupidest people amongst us and made them AGs.

Fuck this asshole.

This guy is outrageously delusional! 😡

Think again Jay

So when does the American public receive damages from Elon Musk for stealing the entire population's classified data and uploading it to a Russian server?

Which brings up the question, why did Trump think releasing his tax returns would destroy him? He's promised to release them for 11 years now.

The only possible reason reason we won't talk about it in a week is because Trump will do more illegal shit next week.

Doesn’t @cnbc.com understand what corruption is? @carlquintanilla.bsky.social

Even if Americans were upset about his tax returns being leaked, why would giving money to insurrectionists have any effect on that?

I am curious about why releasing someone's tax returns would destroy them. Apparently they were released, and he doesn't seem to have been destroyed.

They mean state propaganda will move on from the story to the next dumpster fire.

hasn’t it been made clear that this was not a settlement for the IRS case? the IRS case was bogus, before it got called out as bogus, trump dropped it … the slush fund is not a settlement for that case. why is sorkin discussing it as a settlement ?

Republicans are dedicated to keeping all Republicans above any law.

Forfeiting $1.8B versus spending thousands to refute this ludicrous claim of damages is a pretty easy call. If that human zit wants $1.8B, HE SHOULD BE DEPOSED.

Blanche’s talking points. This American does not believe this a good thing.

Look at Joe trying to think up some way to defend his boy the pedo-prez.

"Trumps Balls need licking and the American people are gonna say hey can I lick them as well"

Jay Clayton’s head is so far up Trump’s ass it’s sick. Even Joe is like,”The optics of him suing himself doesn’t look good.” And Joe is full MAGA.

Yeah, keep telling yourself that.

So if I illegally enter the Capitol, defecate on the floor, hit a Capitol policeman in the head with a bat, fracture his skull, and try to overthrow the government, I can get paid, correct?

Well, just another crook

And I think we are missing the fact this was his own irs it’s not like Biden or Obama was president and told the irs to do it. His own government did it

Get fucked, Jay Clayton

Who is "they"? This "they" group is responsible for every (unsubstantiated) effort to destroy Trump. This guy has no business purporting to be a US attorney - he's a Trumper-stumper.

Imagine not paying more than a half a billion dollars in taxes and how that might affect the possibility of you becoming president. Poor Donald.

Oh, I think we’ll be talking about it for more than a week.

tRump should have voluntarily released his tax returns just as every othe President has done! Oh wait, tRump's may show what a fraud he is.

One wonders why a leak of a person's tax returns (which of course every other President has released voluntarily) would in fact "destroy" that person...?

We’re not moving on. The person who leaked his tax returns (which he repeatedly said he would show, but never did) got punished. So why is the entire IRS held accountable for 1 leaker? And why the hell do we have to pay for it? The attorney general is screwing us over to please his master.

It really feels to me like this he doesn’t know the full story of what exactly happened. Maybe I’m wrong. I don’t know but it seems like he doesn’t quite know all the details.

The American people were shown that the Antichrist paid less taxes than 99% of us. Fuck Jay Clayton

This blows my mind. A US attorney acting like this is business as usual. Like a $1.776 billion slush fund is a perfectly reasonable remedy. This is our reality now?

We need to rid the USA gov't of all these Trump appointed criminals.

If your tax returns are so criminal that you can’t have anyone audit them, that is the problem

Wow this guy is such a fkn asshole ...

Does anyone want to tell this guy that other presidents don't need their returns leaked because they volunteer them?

🤣🤣🤣🤣

🔥

The American people are still gonna be saying, "Where the hell are the rest of the Trump/Epstein 'Philes?"

An honest man wouldn't care that his tax return was leaked...only a man guilty of defrauding the government would be upset. Why would an honest man say that seeing his tax return was an effort to destroy him?

"they" being a private contractor, not the gov't btw

“They” was an IRS contractor who leaked the data. What a scam.

Is there *anything* more obnoxious than when a politician tells us what the "American people" think or want?

He could have released his tax returns like other presidents, but he didn’t because he’s a tax cheat…

No one gives a shit about his tax returns except for him

"Look, they leaked his tax returns." Who is they? Wasn't Tr**p president at the time?

It's cute that they still think the mob boss will share one thin dime with them! 🤣

What a colossal dumbshit

They were leaked because Trump refused to release them.

Disgusting. We cannot normalize (or fund!) their abhorrent behavior.

We're not going to be talking about it next week because Trump will announce some other ridiculous grift or war that will consume the news cycle. He'll never mention Jeffrey Epstein. Success.

If a POTUS’s life can be ruined by the public seeing their tax returns - why isn’t that a concern?

...through the November midterms.

He won’t be talking about it, but we will.

Absolutely. The appearance of got-your-back should never be confused w the actual thing. The only thing loyalists get from Donald is tire tracks. Thinking a committee that takes until November 4, 2026 to decide all of it going to Donald is the plan…don’t see Enrique’s name at all.

Idk if ANYONE will see any of that money…why do I believe it will all be for The Rapist himself?

Anyone who obfuscated or refused to answer when asked who won the 2020 election has played a role in Trump avoiding consequences. So just about every elected Republican. Vote them out.

So exhausting. It’s been a hard 10 years. He never has consequences. Never.

Donald would give it away if it buys him a non-Federal-employee brownshirt army. He didn't put a bagboy in charge of monitoring internal threats for nothing.

Slime molds do not infest brains or harm animals (or plants) in any way. They are peaceful & nontoxic. You may be thinking of Naegleria fowlerii, a very different amoeba with many mouths. Or Toxoplasma, a kind of mutated algae that infects rats & people & forces them to love the smell of cat piss

The stupid is thicker than 70’s LA smog…

We aren’t a serious country and don’t have a functioning government.

Are these not the same tax returns Trump promised repeatedly to release? That gets lost in the news. I’ll release them, wait I’m suing because they were released

I'd like to have a conversation with Jay

Someone needs to run a "Should Donald Trump be destroyed" poll.

The “they” was already convicted by the Biden DoJ. And the J6 crimes could not be more unrelated to that.

Wait til next week Jay. See how wrong you are.

Everyone of his cronies that get on TV and shill for him need to hang for treason with the rest of the traitors.

WTF???

Bullshit. By the way... We still need those EPSTEIN files!

REJECT THE PREMISE Somebody needs to tell CNBC to stop platforming the false use of "settlement" and start using the correct term; THEFT.

Um….if leaking someone’s tax returns will destroy them, the problem is the content of the returns, not the damned leak! 😡 Why is press ignoring this? This back to back w perpetual ban of auditing those very returns should be all they are talking about!!!!

During the French Revolution, there was only one Marie Antoinette. Nowadays, we have a whole team of them telling us to eat cake every day.

In other words, screw the rule of law as designed under the Constitution — and create a fake rule of law that only applies to and/or can be implemented by Republicans.

Imagine going to college, taking the LSAT, graduating law school, passing the bar, starting your career, and then huffing Trump's farts on TV. WHY?

Talk to me when every taxpayer who had their information leaked receives the same deal! 🤬🤬🤬

No. Hell no. The American people are definitely NOT going to say that.

This fucking bullshit. Hosts dutifully bent over for this thug. What a total disgrace all around. bsky.app/profile/mark...

bsky.app/profile/demc...

If there’s a God, there are going to be a shitload of disbarments in the next few years

I don't think we're gonna be talking about this issue in a week because next week there will be another atrocity claiming the headlines.

didn't trump keep saying jan 6 was Antifa??? But now he admits they broke laws for him 😳 This is a sitting president of the United States????

Russia, Russia, Russia + January 6th + Taxes. They are paying off Trump cronies.

Wanna bet, motherfucker.

I mean, tbf a lot of voters didnt give a fuck when they handed him power again, so he might be right about that first part

Bullshit. We won't forget about any fraudulent activities this administration has and continues to perpetrate on the American taxpayers/citizens. Utter nonsense and embarrassment to this once great country. Vote them all out.

The contractor was prosecuted by President Biden's DOJ. Sen Rick Scott, the richest man in the Senate (who got rich defrauding Medicare) also had his taxes leaked. trump's return showed he paid just $750 in taxes in 2016. He was embarrassed, IMO because a billionaire paid less tax than a cashier.

This mook’s SDNY New York? How is it that we’ve had these mafia criminal shyster types embedded in our nation’s law enforcement, just waiting for a don to come?

"They" didn't do this. It was not the government. The leaker was an individual who was identified, prosecuted, and is currently servicing a prison sentence. Not weaponization and no conspiracy. Also, why do they need a fund for compensating other randos who were not impacted by tax leaks?

"they" were the IRS during Trump own presidency.... He is the they!

Is he wrong though? Like - Whatever happened to the Venezuelan oil sales money that was supposedly routed to an offshore account in Qatar?

There is some traction here...

Oh sure, that wacked out right-wing, racist minority will say anything to support their own denials. So what? The rest of us will never shut up about this.

Translation: "we'll come up with another destructive distraction in this violent circus to entertain the sheep"

🤣

I've never been more resolute in my stance that the next Democratic POTUS should act and legislate the same as Trump. And when the MAGA crowd questions those decisions kindly remind them to go get bent and remind them of Trump's actions.

Not a single person on Earth feels this way or would react this way. Jay Clayton is a weird pedophile loving freak.

Apparently the IRS failed to audit Trump's taxes during the first two years of his presidency, and that the only audit conducted during his tenure was never completed. (From Wikipedia)

🔥

Plus the he contractor leaked many citizens returns as well. Where is their financial compensation?

There’s a man inside the bubble. Looks like you Americans need a new revolution cos the last one is completely broken

Has he lost his damn mind? These Trump People are in some kind of ridiculous bubble. There was no settlement. This is theft of the American People pure and simple!

Did half of these dumb as fuck attorney’s even attend law school?

Leaked tax returns shouldn’t net you $1.8b in damages. And then there’s how it’s gonna be used…
