Good

Jail might jar his memory of the law

Action..no more words. If I broke the law, how many words would I get? Fair is fair..

F’ all the Democrats pushing for Trump’s tax returns... it’s none of their business.. this is America, not Nazi Germany.

Time to stop playing games and throw his ass in jail.

no he is protected by the law. if trump has to turn over his taxes then no citizens taxes are protected...

I just watched your interview and saw resolve strength and determination. I also felt that Rep. Bill Pascrell is saying what we all have been waiting to hear. That is that he has seen what we all know about this criminal monarch wannabe and that the time of reckoning is nigh.YAY

I vote jail

Honestly, ask yourself if Mnuchin would fight this hard for the everyday average American taxpayer?

LOCK him up! IMPEACH Barr & realDonaldTrump b4 this crisis becomes tragically epic to OUR national security. Stop wssting the American Peoples time. cnni axios WSJ NBCNews nytimes NewYorker guardian ABC 11thHour Lawrence usatodayDC voxdotcom

He should do jail time

Blah blah blah.

Nice house Steve, you should have no problem paying $25,000 a day in levied fines! If not you can always downside, Pelosi and Nadler can always set you up with free housing! AKA federal penitentiary!

Obviously he doesn't care, lock him up and then he'll start caring

Hold them accountable.

What a joke. Who is going to jail for not releasing Trump's private returns. Is the President going to jail? This is NOT serious journalism.

Another Democrat that thinks you can subpoena without a legislative reason! Courts will decide, will be tied up for a very long time. Democrats are harassing the President!

My guess is that Mnuchin was picked on in school. Now he is getting even and everyone will suffer.

Lock him up😀

dammit democrats...jail this MF

Action speak louder than words

Let's not talk about, just do it. It quite obvious these people have no Respect for the law that all others live by every day of our lives. THE RULES JUST DO NOT APPLY TO THEM!

When?

BS

316alco Well the governor of NYS & the AG will come to America rescue by release Trumps state taxes. Also state has been receiving records from deutsche Bank

The constitution TRIMPS the tax code bozo

Theres also the 4th amendment... search and seizure without probable cause is illegal... so this is FAKE NEWS and BillPascrell is full of baloney... billpascrellfakenews msnbcfakenews

I don’t believe it’s required.

A traitor in our midst

Lol. Hack.

And there is some very nefarious crooked acts against American Democracy by petulant dems. & deep state who needeth to be locked up! Seriously!

I want to see the tax returns of George Clooney, Alyssa Milano, and Bette Midler. I have as much right to see those people's returns as Congress has to see Trump's returns. Obstructionistdems

Yeah, sure. Super.

Where are the laws supporting this? I’ll wait.

🙄

So Serious- No Balls though which is why this is all talk and no action by the feckless Democrats in Congress!

Just do it, words are wind.

There is NO reason to ask for the President’s tax returns Let’s see yours first Bill Pascrell, and the rest of Congress What’s good for the goose is good for the gander 😡😝

Congress Senate WhiteHouse GOP RNC DNC RealDonaldTrump ***No One Is Above The Law!

Lock them up

There is NO reason to have them......... Unless the entire congress turns theirs over.. More corruption in congress than in the ival😝😝😝😝

WHEN

PutinsGOP LockMnuchinUp

“You can only stop a bully by punching him in the nose.” Dad. Disclaimer: Used figuratively.

And the $25,000 a day penalty would be looked at ultimately as extortion.

They need a reason to demand his tax returns. They obviously haven't provided one that's compelling enough to avoiid legal scrutiny. Just because congress wants something doesn't automatically mean they can have it no matter what they threaten... thank god.

Do it!

You put criminals in jail for breaking the laws of this country. Who ever they are. Trumps

if it came down to jail time or tax returns Mnuchin will comply in a hot minute - he's not about to take a 'bullet' for donald

Get a court order to have them released. Get a court order to have the Mueller report un-redacted. Get a court order to have Mueller testify Just because you make the laws doesn't mean you can ignore them.

What's the legal legitimate oversight Congress has over Trump's taxes?

The chosen few never go to jail.

Democrats are in panic mode. Trump2020

More MSNBC lobbying—truly this channel is the constitutional crisis.

We’re tired of hearing about it— do something now, right away. They’ve gotten away with everything and we’re sick and tired of it, who the heck is he getting away with such an important law? Throw fines at him— better, jail!!!

And an orange jumpsuit for the man - PLEASE!

Lock him up in county for a few months.

Oh crap this will be constitutional crisis number 1226

6 yrs of tax returns for what?Democrats just keep up the harassment..payback is coming.

Well, then, get on with it. Impose the fines and make the arrests. BillPascrell WE are suffocating from the lack of ACTION!

Stop talking about it make a move! U want trumps tax returns so u can attack every company doing business with trump! He will never release them!

pascrell has corruptly gerrymandered his NJ 9th district in order to keep his power seat on the ways & means committee of which has continually harassed Trump with the russian collusion hoax his entire presidency. Take a good look below at just how crooked he is...

Words without actions mean nothing! Why wud I think he wud ever pay a fine🙄JUST LOCK HIM UP AND ALL THE OTHER TREASONOUS CORRUPT GOP! ENOUGH TALKING DO SOMETHING FFS!

Everyone complaining (rightfully so) about “talk is cheap” let’s organize a boycott of the Democratic Party until they begin impeachment proceedings. It’s time they fear their own voters over upsetting racist fringe trump voters.

It isn't serious business until the first fine is levied. Jail is just pie in the sky hyperbole.

True!

Ok so impeachment proceedings are too divisive but they’re going to jail administration officials?! Does anyone really believe that? Because I’m sure administration officials don’t. In fact consequences are worse for them if they comply. Thanks Dems!

then JAIL HIM ALREADY

Trumps tax returns are under Obama birth certificate, his passport, his immigration status as a student, his funding sources to pay for college, his college records, and his selective service registration😁😁

And all that just because the law is not on the Democrats side. You would think they would have something else to do with all the time they spend crying. Oh wait. They do. It's called their jobs. Fix all the shit they have screwed up over the years.

Dragging and let the opposition drag on and on is a business tactic. Unless one acts aggressively and enforce the law, it means nothing.

Yes along with everyone in Congress other wise stick it up your ass Democratics I would like to see how Congress people became multi millionaire on a salary of $174,000.00 dollars a year

As my grandma used to say 'stoping going & go'

Talk is cheap.

There's no law to base it off of 🤣

There is a shocker. A Democrat is saying this against our President? Oh Boy. Figures, from my state too. Who keeps electing in these old swamp politicians in my state. Never mind. ILLEGALS.

....and there’s Pardons. The Dems are soft on Trump. They let Trump smack’em around too much.

Unleash the IRS on these Congressional Dems

This is fake news

It’s only serious if it’s enforceable... otherwise is a cruel joke.

If congress wants the tax returns go to court and let them order it. They wont take it to court because they know they will lose

FORGET STUPID TAX RETURNS----WORK FOR AMERICA.

Seriously!! NOT!! Trump Derangement Syndrome!! Hahahahaha

All of trump's, men, are criminals! They will break any and all laws, to protect this conman!

Why, do you keep on airing these experts reiterating the same talking points? False threats don't impress.

Threats mean nothing. Do something! Government is slower than a turtle.

Yea...NO, but thanks for the laugh.

Hi ImMrMeseeks LookAtMe Wrong. Congress is not allowed to perform partisan opposition research

Them do something about Mnuchin! Do something about Barr & Jr.! Just do something other than complain! DO SOMETHING! SpeakerPelosi BillPascrell SenSchumer dscc HouseD
