IRS CHIEF: TRUMP IS A LIAR, WE AUDITED HIM BECAUSE HIS TAXES ARE HIGHLY SUSPICIOUS

03.02.16

'Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump alleged he has been audited year after year by the IRS since president Obama’s election because he is a good Christian.' NOT A CHANCE!!!

'This was his sad attempt at a comeback to Republican presidential candidates Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Marco Rubio (R-FL) during Thursday’s debate in which they called out Trump for not releasing his tax forms to the public. Mitt Romney, the unsuccessful Republican presidential candidate, claimed Trump’s taxes held a “bombshell.” Trump gave another sad (and untrue) response alleging he could not release his documents while under audit by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS).

IRS Chief John Koskinen explained in an interview with C-SPAN, “The taxpayer controls his returns. There’s nothing in an IRS audit process generally that would keep you from sharing that information generally, any way you wanted to.”

Koskinen further stated, “It would be rare for someone to be audited every year,” and that someone would not undergo another audit for a few years, “two or three at least,” after IRS audit the previous year.'>>>

I guess because trump was crushing the republican party favorites so badly , that's when 'some' Republicans ordered that uk expert to dig a dossier on trumps Russia adventures.

Wonder if that was before or after Republicans had Russia hack DNC for them?

A question to be answered. If the IRS while auditing Dolt 45 finds evidence of financial conflicts of interest and/or violations of the emoluments clause, does this information go to the Attorney General, or a U.S. attorney, or the House of Representatives to start impeachment.

Things move at a fast pace around here, but I would like to warn folks about the "Greenville Gazette." I posted the link above on another forum last night. I went back a few minutes later to check on the response and discovered that the link was no longer valid and instead gave way to a bunch of right wing babble. Now I click on it again today and it's back to what it was when this thread was first posted. I went down to the bottom of the screen and clicked on "About." Here's what I got:

False news in a clever disguise. It sure suckered me in and I figured other folks around here might like to know about it.

Folks might want to include a little disclaimer at the bottom of their posts re "Greenville Gazette" to inform newbies like me. I made a fool of myself on that other board. Well, now that I know I gotta laugh myself.

make fools of ourselves at some time - just wait for your first thread to be removed for some violation - let's call it life - the best gift is the capacity to laugh at ourselves

Also here, with a rough transcript: https://www.c-span.org/video/?405379-1/newsmakers-john-koskinen

The title is not a genuine quote from Koskinen; it's that site's paraphrase.
