Rep Doggett on CNN says there was no irs audit of Trump until

[spooky3]

Rep Neal requested the returns on behalf of the W&M committee.

Little supporting documentation accompanied the returns.

3. Wait, what, Trump was lying?

[Sailingdiver]

21. I know....what a surprise

Trump lying...

[gab13by13]

5. Trump claimed massive deductions with no paperwork,

and the IRS let him get away with it. That's my take. The IRS is in cahoots with Trump.

Wonder what would happen to me if I claimed a million dollar deduction with no paperwork?

10. I'm using this trick for 2023.

11. They audit very few people

They've been understaffed for years. They don't have to be in cahoots with anyone to do nothing about their taxes.

[iemanja]

28. Turns out you were right!

Sometimes I think I'm too cynical, and then I find out I'm not cynical enough.

6. You mean he lied?

Shocked I tell you…NOT!

9. The IRS audits every president and VP

4.8.4.2.4 (03-12-2015)
Audit of President and Vice President
The individual tax returns for the President and the Vice President are subject to mandatory review and will be closed directly to the "employee audit reviewer" in Baltimore Employee Audit Contacts. See IRM 4.2.1.15 (8), Processing Returns and Accounts of the President and Vice President. The "Other" box in the "Forward to Technical Services" section of Form 3198 must be checked, and the examiner should notate "President (or Vice President) Examination, Forward to South Atlantic Area Technical Services Legacy Baltimore" . The examining area will notify the group manager for the Baltimore Technical Services when the return is being shipped. Baltimore Technical Services will provide advance notice to Memphis Centralized Case Processing (CCP), "Miscellaneous Group" , when the return is being closed.
The location of the returns of the President and Vice President will be monitored at all times throughout the examination process.
The returns should always be kept in an orange folder.
The returns should not be exposed to viewing by other employees.
The returns should be locked in a secure drawer or cabinet when the examiner or reviewer is away from the work area.
See IRM 4.8.4.2.3.3(1) (a) and (b) for key points to remember during the review of the returns.

So the IRS intentionally violated the law? I doubt the report.

[spooky3]

15. Multiple news reports (on TV--no link) say no audit was ever completed.

Apparently some were started. That is one of the reasons why the committee had a legislative interest in the matter—whether IRS oversight needs change.

Updated to include a link:

Surely a lawyer is not surprised to learn that occasionally the law is not followed in the US.

[former9thward]

17. The IRS does not turn over P and VP audits to just any employee.

They have a special team that does it for every president and VP. I doubt these people decided to take a few years off.

The links are all quoting one another so that does not mean much.

[spooky3]

19. They did NOT do the required audits.

Why would you question the report without having read it? And, the CNBC link I provided presents original reporting, not a link to another link. The CNBC article does include a link to the entire committee report.

[former9thward]

24. Your link shows they are already backtracking.

They say there was "limited" audits. Whatever that means. Any audit is limited. If it was unlimited it would never end by definition.

[spooky3]

26. I'm not interested in having a fact-free discussion. 'Night. Nt

[former9thward]

27. Just going off your links.

So if its fact free ....

18. Sorry, I am not a cable guy.

[spooky3]

20. Then you need to find your own reliable sources

That may cause you to question your conclusion.

[former9thward]

25. Now the committee says there was "limited" audits.

So, no, I don't question my conclusions.

12. "Only the little people pay taxes"

Not paying taxes means he’s a smart S. O. B. According to a rube I know.

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Surprise, surprise, surprise.

[debm55]

14. What was with that tableful of folders and paper he had charted out. that SOB gets away with

everything. Has he every told the truth in his whole life? I just makes me angry that he has never paid for any crime he has commited.

[Mr.Bill]

22. I wonder how many times he stiffed contractors and vendors

then wrote off their bill as though he had paid it.

[spooky3]

23. Good point. Nt
