Biased much?

 

Sometimes you just shake your head and worry about how politicized the USA court system has become. 

Trump-appointed federal judge says Congress' bid to get his tax returns is driven by politics and asks DOJ what would happen if Republicans asked for Hunter Biden records

Before I excerpt from this, let me note:

1. President Trump is both a political figure and held a government office;  Hunter Biden is neither.

2. President Trump's decisions, if based on his own personal income and economic concerns, could have national policy and foreign affairs implications;  this is not true of Hunter Biden.

3.  President Trump did not release his tax returns when running for office;  Hunter Biden did not run for political office.

Now the excerpt:

     "The House panel maintains the tax returns are important because Trump's 'actions and statements raised unprecedented and serious concerns about his tax compliance and foreign entanglements and about the IRS's ability to enforce the tax laws against him while President.'
     'Compared to past Presidents,' the committee's lawyers said in a court filing in October, 'Mr. Trump's returns appear to be inordinately large and complex, reflecting his sprawling domestic and international business activities, which raises the question of whether the IRS has the requisite resources and authority to examine such returns as effectively as needed for a President.'
     They added: 'And he repeatedly attacked the IRS and its audits of him both while a Presidential candidate and while President, which raised the important question of whether IRS employees are properly protected from a President's attempts to improperly influence its audits.'

Exactly.   The Trump judge is out to lunch.
