of Harvard Law. I'm guessing she can understand a large majority of Trump's tax returns, and she is smart enough to ask the right people if she needs clarification or additional information on certain areas.

She's also a university professor at UC-Irvine, so probably has fellow professors she can ask for help as well.

Heck, Rep. Thomas Suozzi of NY is both an attorney and a CPA. I bet he can have some input on this as well.

She comes across as so unintimidating yet she's a smart, tough fighter. Oligarchs beware.

She was the first one I thought of when that idiot SHS said that our congressmen and women were not smart enough to read and understand his tax returns - I don't know about the repugs but our Dems are smart and Porter in particular is brilliant!

The Free-dumb caucus members when she says Congress critters aren't smart enough to understand the returns. Kevin McCarthy? Gym Jordan? Devin The Cow? Fortunately, we have us some Smarties!

She said you were too dumb to make sense of the money launderer’s tax returns.

You’re not too dumb, are you, Katie? I think you’re the one that Sarah was talking about. I would pay to watch Katie grill Sarah.
