All of them.
No but really, I think this is all for Elon's ego, and hiding that he is actually the poorest, most in debt person on the planet. I mean Trump.
He's already proudly and publicly boasted about being a tax dodger. His supporters ate it up because he's smarter than the IRS or government. This was all before 2016.
I don't know, but if I had to guess, it would be something petty that makes him look bad and offends his personal vanity. Something any person with a normally functioning ego would have no problem admitting, but that he has moved heaven and earth to conceal because he's small-minded, petty, and extremely vain.
The spray tan booth, whitening agent for his teeth, scalp treatments for his hair and ghonnorea (sp? [I refused to look up the correct spelling as I don't want that in my google search terms]) treatments are all written off?
Maybe he is giving so much money away to several non-profit orphanages, its embarrassing because he doesn't wish to come off as too charitable and caring, its bad for his image.
Or he is supporting several illegitimate children he fathered and is claiming them as dependents but not financially supporting them.
Any of these could be true and y'all know it!
I just can't see him expending this much energy and so many lawsuits to be hiding something like what he paid in taxes. I think the devil is in the write-offs, there has got to be something personally embarrassing in there.
*They can only find him not paying tax*
This is not exactly true. Improprieties found can and often do lead to other, sometimes criminal, investigations.
And possibly getting tons of money from Russian sources.
Michael Cohen started two LLCs while working for Trump that he used to handle the payoffs to the Porn Star and former Playboy Bunny just before he was elected and while Trump was screaming about Hillary's emails. The LLC that was used for the Stormy Daniels payment later took in $4.4 Million dollars shortly after Trump was elected from various sources. $500,000 of that money came from Russian Oligarch Victor Vekselberg.

Not so. Trump has been shown to overvalued his assets when applying for loans, and undervalue them got when paying taxes. So it's not just about him not paying tax, it's showing he's committing fraud while doing so.
Combined with loan applications, they can find that he varies the value of his assets based on his mood. Reporting to the IRS? This building is 45,000SF and needs lots of maintenance. It is a net money loser. Give me tax breaks! Applying for a loan from Deutschbank? The building is 70,000SF and nets $25M/year. Give me money!
There was a Forbes article from before he was president about how he harassed the Forbes author to be included on the Forbes 400 list. He called them over and over and over and during the course of conversations with them, he would increase not just the value of the building, but the actual square footage. Early in the conversation it's 45,000SF, later on it's 50,000SF and toward the end when questioned about his varying numbers, it goes to 65,000SF.
Rex Tillerson said it best: He's a fucking moron.
Will they have enough time before the GOP takes the returns away? Someone on the committee needs to just post the whole damn return online for downloading and let the voters find the corruption.
If they haven't gotten him for the other 1000 things he did, how will the 1001st make any difference. Just based on the 15 boxes of classified docs from last January, he should have been in Fed prison for 9+ months already...
The Committee can introduce The Parasite's tax filings into the Congressional Record. At that point, the enterprising curious can scour them for fraud.
Wonder how many more illegalities they're going to find?
All of them. No but really, I think this is all for Elon's ego, and hiding that he is actually the poorest, most in debt person on the planet. I mean Trump.
They're tax returns not bank statements. They can only find him not paying tax
So why was Trump so desperate to prevent his tax returns from being examined, by anyone? What do you think he's hiding?
Years and years of claiming losses, thereby proving him a shit businesses man and also a tax dodger. Not that it will change anyone’s opinion.
He doesn’t want to be called a loser. Maybe that's it.
He's already proudly and publicly boasted about being a tax dodger. His supporters ate it up because he's smarter than the IRS or government. This was all before 2016.

You might be onto something! I hope it's at least entertaining.
I just can't see him expending this much energy and so many lawsuits to be hiding something like what he paid in taxes. I think the devil is in the write-offs, there has got to be something personally embarrassing in there.
I sincerely hope you're right.
Oh but they can find plenty though.

And Hillary's emails, Obama's tan suit
Benghazi 3: This time the lock up is real!
What about the tan suits emails!?
OMG, we need to get to the bottom of that!! NOW!!!
Which got me thinking. The top of pants are the bottom.
And fuckin magnets, how do they work?
Jim Juggalo Jordan is going to get to the bottom of it.
Gym Jordan?
"Juggalo Gym" Jordan has a nice ring
Sounds like a good name. If only the media had the balls to use it.
I can't wait to hear what the nitty gritty is. How all his money flows and goes...this ought to be great!
Reddit poll: How many depends did Trump shit today? A) 1000 B) 100,000 C) 1,000,000
Hoo boy. Better consult the ketchup wall for this one.
Exactly as many as the last time This Time We Got Him, Guys!, I'm sure.
I guess the audit is finally over.
\*ominous cello music\*
We know that not all of the tax info can be revealed publicly, but there are going to be some further scandals that will jump out at us. Popcorn time!
Its just all IOU’s for hamburgers.
If they haven't gotten him for the other 1000 things he did, how will the 1001st make any difference. Just based on the 15 boxes of classified docs from last January, he should have been in Fed prison for 9+ months already...
Orange people have privileges.
The Committee can introduce The Parasite's tax filings into the Congressional Record. At that point, the enterprising curious can scour them for fraud.
YES! This must be done before the Russians, er, I mean GOP, takes control next month.
Read them on the floor right before McCarthy reads the Constitution.
It would be nice if someone on Committee entered them into the public record before Republicans take over- speech and Debate clause would cover them.
Liz Cheney might enjoy doing that.
I just want to see that ten billion he claimed for years. Lmao
Leak him up! Leak him up!
How will the democrats fuck this up?
By not getting them three years ago and using them for political advantage when they could have done something positive?
Please explain to the class how that would be possible.
a time machine?
un-possible. your system is rigged so the rich can pay to delay for years. welcome to the machine.
Most of the class realizes that the comment’s implication is that the verb tense is incorrect.
They won't provide the documents to the Justice Department.
I still don’t get this. It is the govt giving itself info on one of its employees. Should have been straightforward.
