Yes? Donald Trump has called that a &#8220;red line&#8221; that might produce some serious retaliation from the president against Mueller.<\/p>\n<p>Hey now! I have a thought. Do you remember those Trump tax returns? The returns the president hasn&#8217;t revealed to the public, defying 40 years of political custom from presidential nominees of both parties? Trump has clung to a lame excuse about an &#8220;audit.&#8221; The Internal Revenue Service, which hasn&#8217;t yet commented on whether it is actually auditing Trump&#8217;s returns, has said an audit doesn&#8217;t preclude the returns&#8217; release to the public.<\/p>\n<p>Trump should have released them long ago. Mueller&#8217;s probe now seems to be closing in on those returns. Gosh, might he subpoena those returns as part of his own investigation?<\/p>\n<p>Trump and his allies keep saying that &#8220;no one&#8221; is interested in those returns. I disagree. Strongly, in fact. I am not &#8220;no one.&#8221; Neither are the millions of Americans who didn&#8217;t vote for Trump. Yes, there are more of us than those who voted <em>for<\/em> the president in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>The tax returns are back. On the front burner, where they belong.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"twitter-share\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?via=jkanelis\" class=\"twitter-share-button\">Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Special counsel Robert Mueller has subpoenaed documents from the Trump Organization.
