ML-Implode News - The chances of seeing Donald Trump's tax returns just went WAY up

The real issue here is a 1924 provision in the Internal Revenue Service tax code that allows the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee and the chair of the Senate Finance Committee can ask for anyone's tax returns -- including the president's! -- from the Internal Revenue Service -- as long as they can demonstrate that the returns are necessary for an ongoing investigation.
That clause, according to this great piece by CNN's Jeanne Sahadi, could well lead to the eventual public disclosure of Trump's returns:

What seems certain now: House Democrats will make a move to see Trump's taxes. Trump, who, I believe, thinks the release of the returns could do him real political harm, will fight like hell to keep them from doing so.
Who wins? No clue. But there's no question that we are closer to seeing Trump's tax returns today than we have been at any point since he began to run for president in 2015.
