IRS Chief: “Trump is a liar, we audited him because his taxes are highly suspicious” [IRS Lies]
Greenville Gazette ^ | March 2, 2016 | Juan Wilder

Posted on 05/16/2016 9:03:14 AM PDT by Roos_Girl

“We don’t care who you are,” stated Koskinen, “Whether you go to church, or don’t go to church.” Koskinen explained audits occur when something pops up in your tax returns they find suspicious. It’s basically all about the numbers. Party or religious affiliation is not part of any IRS audit red flag, according to Koskinen.

Isn’t it illegal for an IRS employee to publicly divulge an individual’s tax details?

It is, and he didn't.

The article is an editorial, and the headline is false. The IRS commissioner didn't say anything close to that.

So Trump is being audited and is a target of the IRS.

This slams the door on the “release his taxes crowd.”

There are MANY things wrong with the article. The author relies on people not reading only the headline and not the article, not knowing who John Kiskenen is much less that Congress is considering impeaching him for lying, etc. And people will fly off the handle simply from reading the title.

Then why did you post it without at least stating this in your first comment?

These cretins are all in for Hillary, aren’t they?

We have the volume and degree of corruption endemic in 3rd world banana republics.

Did you actually read my comment before berating me for not reading the article?

Lying, smarmy, smart-mouthed little bastard.

Impeach him now!

We do not need his kind in government.

In fact, somebody find some tar...I'll get the feathers and I'm sure there is a rail somewhere close.

Okay, so the IRS just violated the law, by informing the public about a private individual’s taxes.

Yes, yes it is. Very much so.

I did. You wrote:

Says the guy on his way to impeachment for lying. I'm not a huge Trump fan, but stuff like this makes me feel better about having to vote for him.

What part of that explains that the IRS chief never actually said what was in the headline?

Thought my first comment was pretty clear that I thought it was a bunch of crap. Most Freepers are smart enough to form their own opinion with someone having to tell them what to think. I also think it is important to know and see and read articles like this to know what is being put out there.

The article is dated March 2, 2016. It is written by a Trump hater. Why bother posting it?

It doesn’t. I have never seen it a requirement to post a complete summary and critique of an article in the OP comments.

Because I think it is important to see what is being written for the opponent.

So the head of the criminal organization reveals private information about a taxpayer. This is a violation of Trump’s rights and Trump should call attention to that fact. That koistenen creep is a liar and has broken the law.

BULLSHIT. Yes, you do and you've already been caught doing it. These bastards will double and triple down on a lie in a heartbeat.

I think you could have made better choices in the text you excerpted.

Then, you should have written your opinion in your comment. As you wrote it, it looks like you were responding to the fabricated quote in the headline.

He actually said no such thing. The title of the article and much of the article is a lie. If you watch the CSpan video at the link you’ll see he does not comment specifically. The author took some “liberties”. IOW, he’s a liar also.

If you are ignorant of what your enemy is doing, you are in trouble.
