So if Trump was to supply those tax returns to a house oversight committee and those returns where made public in some way, what should be the penalty for the committee chair? I would expect their immediate resignation at the least!!
Why shouldnt it be made public ? Dont the people have the right to know ?
I do agree there should be repremand for anything leaked from the Mueller report that should be kept classified for security issues ! But the full report should be viewed by oversight committies .
just an interesting aside, I found a cool site that actually has copies of the presidential returns since NIXON (except for Trumps)
http://www.efile.com/historic-1040-income-tax-returns-of-us-presidents-and-candidates/
As I posted,
"Upon written request from the chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means of the House of Representatives, the chairman of the Committee on Finance of the Senate, or the chairman of the Joint Committee on Taxation, the Secretary [of the Treasury] shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request..."
That's the law. It is crystal clear. No debate here.

Trump isn't special. Just about all presidents going way back gave up their tax returns. They had nothing to hide. Trump is a crook. And that's just the truth of it. If he wasn't he wouldn't have all these court cases pending against him.

Judge signs off on shutdown of Trump Foundation after ‘pattern of illegality
"A New York judge has signed off on a deal to shut down Donald Trump’s personal charity after a lawsuit exposed a “shocking pattern of illegality”.
Justice Saliann Scarpulla approved the deal to close the Trump Foundation and split its remaining $1.7m funds between other charities.
New York’s attorney general and lawyers for the Trump Foundation will have 30 days to provide Scarpulla with a list of organizations and the attorney general’s office will have the right to reject ones it deems unfit".
