1 But they "just want to see if the IRS is doing it's auditing job properly."

How about looking at the tax records of Jimmy Carter, George Bush, LBJ, or JFK ?

Once again, Trump is targeted for special treatment and investigation.

3 ^ interesting that. Given that the income state of Mr. Trump prior to 2016 meant his records were given a procto level exam for years, I doubt they're going to reveal anything startling. On the other hand, how was those 10%ers reported on the Biden sheets when he was Senator?

4 Every politician and bureaucrat - down to dog catcher - should have their tax records available to the public. They should all be drug tested and polygraphed too. Frequently.

9 ^ This. Audits are good for the public spirited soul.

10 The plan is (1) to make him look guilty and hiding thing because of natural reluctance for Presidents to give up Privledge and provide ammo to enemies. (2) Gotcha that he gave money to Hillary and other corrupt democrats in NY to get business done before he was President. (3) To claim that he under/over valued things and insinuate wrongdoing.

Nobody will care, he's been audited every year for decades and doesn't prepare his own tax forms.

I agree with #4, everyone in Washington should have their taxes posted every year so we can marvel at their business acumen. I'd go so far as to say Family and spouse should be audited yearly as well if not posted publicly.

12 ^-- Do you seriously think this will apply to the American Nobility?

Sadly I don't think so...
