NOBODY Is Entitled To See Trump’s Tax Returns
Bryan Fischer here with today’s Life and Liberty Minute. Regressives are incessantly clamoring to see Donald Trump’s tax returns. What his attackers are ignoring in the process is a little thing called the Constitution. The 4th Amendment in the Bill of Rights guarantees the right of every American to be secure from government intrusion into his person, his house, and his papers. Well, the president is an American, as much of an American as you and I are, so this protection applies to him. And his tax returns are “papers,” so this protection applies to them, too. The only exception is if authorities have, not just speculations or allegations, but actual evidence a crime has been committed and a man’s papers are central the investigation of the crime. But no one has even alleged that the president has committed a crime, so this is just another snipe hunt. Regressives yammer that Trump is not above the law. Well, neither are his enemies.
