    Should be a result of some criminal referral else all Presidents will now by subject to investigations at will and subponeas for all their and all their associates private information without probable cause by an opposition house of Congress. Is that what you want?

    What happened to the 4th Amendment?

    He is a coward and a liar. There is no way an audit from 2016 continues. Let him release 2015 or 2014. Are you saying those audits continue?

    You will defend anything he does

    Trump is being true to his lie every day that he refuses to keep his repeated promise to release his tax returns.

    Of course, his true believers are confident that he has nothing to hide, and will be entirely vindicated in regard to all suspected improprieties and illegalities.

    Regardless of Trump's reticence to honor his word, Bean Counter Weisselberg will reveal Trump's fastidious honesty and punctilious candor in scrupulously fulfilling his patriotic compliance.

    The truth will out.

    We just heard from Trump's long-time personal attorney who testified under oath and implicated Trump in no fewer than eleven felonies, including several that can be corroborating by reviewing his tax returns and (and this important) cross referencing his tax returns against other documents. To claim that there is no evidence to support Congress getting Trump's tax returns is absolutely false.

    That important note also addresses something else you raise: Namely, why investigate if the IRS has not found any wrongdoing. Let us set aside that you are making a massive assumption (namely that Trump is telling the truth) to believe that the IRS has even audited him. You also assume that the IRS is incapable of missing tax violations. Finally, and most importantly, you are not providing a reason that Congress should stop their investigation. Specifically, the fact that the IRS has been publicly silent about his tax returns does mean that Congress should stop attempting to act as an important of oversight over the President.

    "Tax counsel for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said in a letter released Wednesday that the billionaire businessman has been under continuous IRS audit for more than a decade.

    In the letter, released by the Trump campaign to demonstrate that the candidate is in fact under audit, Sheri Dillon and William Nelson wrote that Trump's personal federal tax returns 'have been under continuous examination by the Internal Revenue Service since 2002, consistent with the IRS's practice for large and complex businesses.'"

    But they were all after the fact of the investigation of no crimes -- by definition a witch hunt. Witch hunts can find crimes (witches), and they usually do. In Mueller's case he did find crimes but none related to his mandate to look into Trump-Russian coordination and none were crimes before he started his investigation.

    Why? Trump changed his mind. Did you read that?

    His word means nothing
