Did they find their Russian collusion link? If memory serves, everyone wanted to see the returns because they would link back to some Russian oligarch.
Hasn't the IRS already looked over the returns?

Starting to sound like exgroper
Confirmed: you're batshit crazy.
2 or 3 tops? The regulation (anti-trust hawks) has been lacking. Don't get me wrong, I think libertariansim is a giant pile of steamy cow dung and a trend that people go through (like communism in college). It just seemed like Piezoe's view didn't fit my understanding of Libertarianism.
I'm an actual libertarian, not a neo-libertarian. Libertarians recognize the necessity of government regulation to keep the playing field of commerce level and protect individual freedoms. Neo-libertarians are self proclaimed "libertarians" whose philosophy breaks sharply from classical libertarianism. Perhaps today's neo-libertarians would claim what you say, but their philosophy has little to do with my own. Chomsky refers to neo-libertarians as anarcho-capitalists, which I think is quite appropriate.
Our own Tsing Tao, and Trump enthusiast, would be an excellent example of a neo-libertarian who calls himself a "libertarian", as would Rand Paul. These folks associate freedom from government interference with liberty; hence they refer to themselves as "libertarians". This self-proclamation of theirs only serves to muddle matters, because what they espouse has little to do with classical libertarianism, which had its genesis in the contrasting philosophies of Locke, a Christian, and Hobbes, an atheist. The neo-libertarian's error is likely innocent. I doubt most them have read Locke or Hobbes.
An important feature of the neo-libertarian politcal stance is promotion of a revival of laissez faire capitalism. Neo-libertarians champion this, whereas classical libertarians abhor the very idea of it.
Let us return to the topic of net neutrality. What doing away with net neutrality does is open the door to further "rent seeking"* which is a non-productive form of revenue generation whose net effect is to move money from one pocket to another. Rent seeking is impossible to avoid completely in a capitalist economy, but any good government does not want to do anything to encourage it.

*The classical example from Samuelson is the farmer who has a navigable stream running through his property. He puts a beam on gimbals across the stream and charges a fee to lift the beam and let boats pass. Rent seeking moves money from one pocket to another without producing anything of value in the process.

By now you have no doubt learned that this project involved Fred Trumps returns and accounting in that era; not Donald's. The problem for Donald's generation is that much of the fraudulent activity involved Fred's kids who eventually became of age and then culpable for their actions. I would guess Mueller has access to Donald's returns. They will be looking for links to illegal money laundering but this isn't necessarily were you would go for clues to a connection between the campaign and the Russians. But there would certainly be relevance to Russian dealing in general, or a disturbing lack of it, as we know that since the major bankruptcy almost all Trumps financing has had Russian links.
He/she is a current groper---more pronounced though is his/her profession as an extra goat roper. This is the one that they typically only allow to open the gate.
Today we are once again watching Piezoe's alternate reality persona.
Piezeo the libertarian socialist. The libertarian who believes almost all govt intervention is necessary and good if done by a democrat.
