(26,743 posts)That source makes clear that the Treasury Secretary is the correct respondent. Youre saying it had nothing to do with Treasury.

(26,743 posts)Try citing one that says anything like That regulation with SHALL makes no reference to Treasury
The regulation specifically refers to the Treasury Secretary.

(26,743 posts)It says the Secretary shall
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 shall furnish such committee with any return or return information specified in such request...
If anything... they could spin that the request didnt go to the right person.

FBaggins
(26,743 posts)Or they just didnt want Mnuchin involved.
Maybe they have reason to think IRS would be more likely to give them what they want... but thats a tough sell when their case depends on a plain reading of the text.
malaise
(269,022 posts)although I don't care who is involved as long as Neal gets the tax returns
FBaggins
(26,743 posts)And I have little faith how that will turn out. It certainly won't happen quickly.
Ask yourself this - Why do you think Neal wants them in the first place?
