Can't anything be done to speed up Donald's audit?

[unitedwethrive]

It seems that, in the interest of a fair and open election, this should be a priority for both sides.

1. It doesn't matter when the audit ends.

The IRS says that there's no problem in Trump releasing his returns whenever he wants.

They could wrap up the audit today, and Trump would still refuse to release them.

2. +1

3. But then he would have to come up with another excuse

which certainly would be telling in itself.

[kstewart33]

4. True.

But I don't think a new excuse would hurt him much.

Trump has said so many outrageous things. How much has it hurt him?

Fault the media for this. But their priority is a tight race which = high ratings, more clicks = more profits.

8. He's already said "it's none of our business."

[jberryhill]

5. There's nothing that prevents him from releasing them

Even if he is being audited, that doesn't mean he can't release the returns.

It's a bullshit excuse.

7. Then the Dems need to be pushing this!

I remember hearing a couple months ago that the audit does not prohibit him from releasing his tax returns. But I've heard nothing since. This tax issue needs to be discussed loudly and often.

[MoonRiver]

10. They push constantly! But what can they do, except expose him?

[jberryhill]

11. ...and he'll continue to refuse to release them

At the end of the day, the election is about winning the most votes.

Most voters are not basing their decision on whether a candidate has or has not released their taxes.

It bears repeating that he won't release them, but ultimately is not a central issue.

6. Nixon was under audit and released his taxes.

Freakin' NIXON.

It's not an excuse.

9. Here's an idea,let's ask him for the last five years

of tax returns excluding this year. If he's been audited every year as he says,he's free to release any year but this year.

[RAFisher]

12. I don't think he's being audited. He's making all this shit up.

Maybe I'm wrong but I think he's using the 'Big Lie' technique that his hero Hitler came up with. He'll just keep doubling down on this. He didn't want to show his returns in the primary because so he lied he was being audited. Probably didn't know you can still release taxes while being audited. Can't wait to see how absurd this lie will get.

13. why does every OTHER representative that is running for something

have to give their IRS schedules???????

14. His Consigliore Manafort said today that Trump would NOT

release his tax returns - period. No ifs, buts, or ands.
