Trump chief of staff Mulvaney says that the Democrats will never get Trump's tax returns and this is his argument: 1. Voters knew that Trump was not going to release his tax returns before the election. (This is of course a lie, Trump said he would release his tax returns, but bear with me) 2. Voters elected Trump. (Actually it is not at all clear that Trump was legally elected). 3. Therefore, voters have legislated that it is OK for Trump to not release his tax returns, even if ordered to by a court. 4. QED
So in other words, he is saying something like this. "You knew Trump was a criminal before you elected him. You elected him. Therefore he can commit any crime and it is legal".
This is an incredible argument. There is no shame in these people. There is no amount of hypocrisy that is too much for them. This is why I say Republicans, all Republicans, are a cancer in our society and must be cut out.
[I checked with an attorney and yes, as I thought, the argument is nonsense.]
