Chris Matthews has invited liberals at the IRS to leak the audit status of President Trump's tax return.
On this evening's Hardball, Matthews said: "we know there's no audit [of Trump.] Can't the IRS just make a statement, he's not under audit? Just make the announcement. By the way, that would be a good leak. Somebody at the IRS just leaking. I thought they were all liberals over there. Why doesn't somebody just leak it?"
Pursuant to 26 US Code Sec. 7213, disclosing an individual's return information, which would presumably include the audit status of a return, is "a felony punishable upon conviction by a fine in any amount not exceeding $5,000, or imprisonment of not more than 5 years, or both."

It’s called suborning a crime, Chris.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
All people in Trump’s income level are audited yearly.
That is no secret.
Remember this if Chris Matthews ever makes an argument based on the right to privacy.
Great point.
But of course just asking to see Obama’s birth certificate was racism.
“...we know there’s no audit...”
Prove it, Chris...Prove it...
Or STFU...
At some point school yard justice is going to catch up with tingly.
Is it just me, or does Tingles not look at all well?
Not soon enough. He deserves to be throat punched.
Trump’s CPA Firm is Grant Thornton. Great firm.
IRS: “After examining 12,000 pages of Mr Trump’s tax returns, and comparing them to 150,000 pages of laws, regulations, and judicial rulings, we are more confused than ever....”
You dumbass maybe they don’t want to go to jail
One suspects that Mister Mathews was stone silent on the topic of Mister Obama's collegiate records and transcripts.
That ain’t going to happen, and these commies just want his financials to bludgeon him with, F them.
“””””Is it just me, or does Tingles not look at all well?”””””
Weird. My wife said the same thing a few hours ago.
That’s the alcoholic pallor.
Calling for criminal conduct is hardly our idea of a proper network employee. He should be fired. And prosecuted. ( he could never even begin to understand Djt’s taxes anyway. It takes many expert Tax lawyers and accountants to even put such a complex pile of documents together. Having tingles up his backside doesn’t give him brains and specialized training to decipher IRS forms ) Matthews is just spouting off more demagogic bs. As usual. As usual.
Smart gal.
Hang on to her!
To bad someone hasn’t opened his ‘closet’ yet...be surprised what would be falling out of it...
