If I were Obama, I would instruct the IRS to cease any audits against Trump at this time.

I know that wouldn't ever happen, but it would be damn amazing.

That person would be seen as a national hero for doing so and sparing the world a certain and ugly destruction.

sure, trump's returns would be embarrassing, but he'd get sympathy from people who hate the irs.

the story would be how the irs can't be trusted, about the trial of this irs employee, about the endless republican congressional hearings, and about republican plans to gut or abolish the irs.

trump would probably gain more votes than he loses.

I never want an IRS employee leaking a tax return. That's a damned dark road to go down.

Keep the pressure on Comrade Trump to release the returns.

And I've thought the same thing before dismissing it as a bad idea.

There are many things I wish would happen in this election. The only thing I'm sure of is that he won't be president. Ever.

...where is our American patriot? Trump is a lying fucking liar, and he needs to be exposed. Maybe some foreign nation will offer asylum to the leaker, in the interest of saving the world.

The IRS should be a not partisan group. If an IRS employee leaks any tax return he should be prosecuted. People should demand to see the tax return, and refuse to support trump if he does not release it, but Trump has a legal right to keep it private, and the IRS should not play political games.

I was wondering if some computer hacker could access his tax returns and release them to the public.
