    Cite there is no audit. The IRS has not denied there's an audit. Cite your sources so we can verify these alt left claims.

    Look how fast the IRS caught up to the Favorite lawyer for Democrats. Michael Avenatti once charging Trump for crimes is in serious trouble and seems headed to a federal prison for a very long time.
    I do not think the View has admitted this to their audience.

    Key term in all of that is wait for it..... CLOSED SESSION.

    What do you think that means?

    IT means nothing can leak. Even if Congress gets a peek, it won't help you at all. Trump will not give them permission to disclose the findings.

    I have not claimed that the public would get Trump's returns.

    This is just one more mistake by you.

    Over and over I've pointed out that congress has every right to see the Mueller report IN FULL and IRS returns - they just can't then make certain information public.

    you prove there is an audit.... it's been 3 years, the IRS woudl not of had a audit last 3 years

    and even if they did, that is no reason for the President not to release his taxes unless he is worried people will find something the IRS missed (which he could be?)

    He has, the IRS cleared them and they are archived.. What possible motive does the left have to question 15 years of IRS scrutiny? I think we both know that answer, the left simply want to cherry pick total nonsense that the IRS found no reason to take action on and blow it all out of context and make the President and IRS look bad! It's what the leftist organization does, they cant except that the IRS is doing it's job so they have to fabricate things the IRS didn't find :)

    You will never ever get to see his tax returns. Might as well settle down and accept nothing can be made public. Congress does not have authority to audit returns for non legislative purposes.

    Trump will try his hardest to hide them from the people, even though he promised to release them, more promises not kept! Sad!

    If there's no audit (which are private when they ARE being conducted with IPT consent to make public), why has the IRS, even before he was president (a year and a half) said that there is none?

    The burden of proof is on the accuser.

    Show me proof the audit is fake.

    Let's not hold our breath. You'll probably cite another Fox and Friends, or The View source.

    The beauty of this is that only a select committee can see returns and only in closed session. This mean like other top secrets, they may not leak any of it.

    The committee by law must not disclose his returns.

    I don't believe the IRS talks about audits until they are concluded and then simply file them or the audit leads to further investigation at which point they don't speak of ongoing investigation..

    I asked you to cite your sources for there being absolutely no audit.

    If this is too difficult for you, just say so. No reason to keep digging your hole. I'll drop this and forget your hilarious accusation if you just admit you made it up.

    And of course 15 years of audits and you have the IRS not finding any crimes! How do you avoid such logic and fact, it has to be a rare talent!

    What if a member stands in the well of the House & reads someone's tax return into the record?

    Note: No congresscritter can be held liable for anything said on the floor. That's why harry reid claimed Rmoney didn't pay his taxes, but only did so on the Senate floor - to avoid liability.

    So he changed his mind after seeing what the typical leftist will stoop to, to spin and propagandize his life! Hell this Site is a perfect example of why "If I were Him" wouldn't even speak with a leftist let alone have them a couple years of sensitive financial records for them to misinterpret and fabricate dishonest finding that the IRS didn't find!

    I told you no such sources exist, unless I see proof of an audit, I assume he is lying... just like he lied about releasing the taxes

    if Trump wanted to prove he was under audit, he could, but he has not

    every other President has released their taxes for the last 50 years... Sad that Trump refuses too

    So by your logic, since you have zero sources, and are just using your imagination, I can say that Biden molests women...because I have no sources, right?

    Should the Presidents financials end up with the House, there is 100% certainty they will be leaked.

    The worst thing is just about every liberal I have exchanged comments with has ZERO clue what a tax return shows.

    This is just grease the New Democratic Party hopes to slide under their uninformed trained followers to keep them mesmerized for the next 1.5 years.
