Just a few months ago in September, Grassley complained Trump’s tax returns bought out, “That data ought to have by no means gotten out, and whoever bought it out violated the regulation…All I’ve bought is the president saying he’s paid tens of millions of {dollars} in taxes, and also you’ve bought the New York Occasions printing what they assume, and we don’t have the info to make a judgment. However let me say that I’d be very involved about the way it bought out.”
Republicans defended Trump and his nominees hiding their tax returns and dismissed any pink flags that have been within the monetary dealings of Trump and his cupboard nominees.
Now that Joe Biden shall be president, Senate Republicans have discovered faith on tax returns and are demanding that nominees like Janet Yellen are reviewed right down to the smallest element.
The hypocrisy isn’t sudden or stunning, however it’s proof that even after Trump is gone, the underlying political cynicism of the Republican Occasion will maintain going robust.
