That's correct. Hillary wasn't the president. Congress decides when dealing with a president.

Why doesn't the president want Mueller to testify? Since Mueller said "No collusion! No obstruction!" shouldn't Trump want Mueller to be broadcasted all over the nation?

“the conduct of President Trump described in Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s report would, in the case of any other person not covered by the Office of Legal Counsel policy against indicting a sitting President, result in multiple felony charges"
Statement signed by 380 federal prosecuters, one of whom is the lawyer for Trump's good buddy, AMI CEO David Pecker.

Blah, Blah Blah!
No collusion! No obstruction! Mueller is a rat and i don't think he wants to testify before Congress. There are a lot of questions that I don't think he wants to answer.

In evaluating whether evidence about collective action of multiple individuals constituted a crime, we applied the framework of conspiracy law, not the concept of "collusion." In so doing, the Office recognized that the word "collud[ e ]" was used in communications with the Acting Attorney General confirming certain aspects of the investigation's scope and that the term has frequently been invoked in public reporting about the investigation. But collusion is not a specific offense or theory of liability found in the United States Code, nor is it a term of art in federal criminal law. For those reasons, the Office's focus in analyzing questions of joint criminal liability was on conspiracy as defined in federal law. In connection with that analysis, we addressed the factual question whether members of the Trump Campaign "coordinat[ ed]"-a term that appears in the appointment order-with Russian election interference activities. Like collusion, "coordination" does not have a settled definition in federal criminal law. We understood coordination to require an agreement-tacit or express- between the Trump Campaign and the Russian government on election interference. That requires more than the two parties taking actions that were informed by or responsive to the other's actions or interests. We applied the term coordination in that sense when stating in the report that the investigation did not establish that the Trump Campaign coordinated with the Russian government in its election interference activities.
[A] traditional prosecution or declination decision entails a binary determination to initiate or decline a prosecution, but we determined not to make a traditional prosecutorial judgment. The Office of Legal Counsel (OLC) has issued an opinion finding that “the indictment or criminal prosecution of a sitting President would impermissibly undermine the capacity of the executive branch to perform its constitutionally assigned functions” in violation of “the constitutional separation of powers.” Given the role of the Special Counsel as an attorney in the Department of Justice and the framework of the Special Counsel regulations, this Office accepted OLC’s legal conclusion for the purpose of exercising prosecutorial jurisdiction. And apart from OLC’s constitutional view, we recognized that a federal criminal accusation against a sitting President would place burdens on the President’s capacity to govern and potentially preempt constitutional processes for addressing presidential misconduct.

Show me the statute that requires a candidate or president to turn over tax returns.

USC 6103(f)(1)
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 orreturn information specified in such request, except that anyreturn or return information which can be associated with, or otherwise identify, directly or indirectly, a particular taxpayer shall be furnished to such committee only when sitting in closed executive session unless such taxpayer otherwise consents in writing to such disclosure.
It’s the law.

Barr thinks spying did occur on the Trump campaign and has evidence to support his belief. Just hysterical conspiracy theories!

The statute is pretty clear. And it's always been adhered to by previous administrations. But you don't care if there's actually a statute or not. It could be a Constitutional Amendment and you'd say Trump doesn't have the comply.

And that is still ridiculous and takes away from the meaning of the award.

Makes it more ridiculous in my opinion.

Trump isn't going to give up his tax returns or his school grade transcripts. If anyone ever sees them, you can bet he paid someone to forge them. There are things in them that he doesn't want the public to know about.
