ruling after another. appeal upon appeal. and even a trip to the knighted state supreme court. but today the american public finally has its hands on something donald trump as so doggedly sought to conceal. his tax returns. six years worth. and an unprecedented window and steube s financial picture. this public release, which, among other things, shows the don trump paid relatively little in taxes in the years before and during his presidency, is the end product of an effort undertaken by the house ways and needs committee. after securing their returns, which cover the years 2015 to 2020, that panel voted along party lengths to hand redacted versions of the returns to the public. before we get into what these thousands of pages reveal, in a way those who are who are not accountants can understand, it s worth noting how the committee got its hands on these returns in the first place. is the end result of its investigation into an irs policy that mandates audits of return ....
Mercy, and a sense of justice. and as people in america can into it a sense of the person who gets pardons. as the reverend said, trump dangled the pardons in front of people, he used it as a way of moral arbitration. what biden is doing is something, he is showing mercy as a person. as a person who believes in second chances. i think that the american people can see, that and that is what pardon should be used for. you know, brad, i want to ask you to look ahead for us. what are you watching for in the new year? well, i am watching for how we see on the democratic side, whether the president runs again. i think he has earned the right to run, i think that he is done a lot where he is given credit for. and how the democrats would deal with as senate kind of landscape, the senate races that they re going to have to ....

Continued to play out in increasingly precarious and republic threatening ways. but they were all before us and part of what historians will be doing is excavating the role of the american people and look, we are coming along way, it s the end of the year, a lot of people are saying we have turned a corner. i think we have. we still have to reckon with the fact that minutes after the insurrection, some 120 plus republicans vote to nullify the election. some are still in that camp. but it s all been done. there s no way than any of those apologist can say well, it took us by surprise. it really was laid out so clearly. do american people have the appetite? i think so. this is what happened after watergate, a general move for transparency. it s hard to be against ....
People were given. and i think that goes along with his doing the executive order around policing, and other things since he has been in office. and many of us in the civil rights community, that have raised these challenges, have notice that there is a consistent pattern, that even when he is not being challenged, that president has chosen a really decisive way of being in office, and get correcting the justice system. and i think that this is an excellent way for him to be doing that. what is your reaction choice to presidential biden second round of pardons? i agree with the rev. i really admire the way that joe biden issue these pardons, many of these people have long since finished serving their sentences, and they have gone on to do really important things. they have gotten college ....
