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

“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.

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.

Except if you are the Tea Party. And what were those questions about prayers? Surely, it had nothing to do about religion.

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

I assume anyone of extreme wealth is probably audited regularly. They are the folks who have the means and ability to push the letter of the law to its limit when it comes to taxes owed.

Sounds to me like an illegal tax disclosure. Trump should sue his pants off and make Obama happy. This is beyond the pale, I never recall any IRS commissioner at any time making a public comment like that about anyone’s taxes. It is improper and it is illegal.

On June 24, 2014 the IRS admitted wrongdoing in the case and paid the organization $50,000 in actual damages. ..

I'm sure it has NOTHING to do with Trump making Obama cough up his still questionable birth certificate, or mentioning the questionable authorship of his first book.

Koskinen didn’t say Trump was a liar. The newspaper made that up.

It is improper and it is illegal.

It also means the Commissioner, had access to his tax filings. There is NO reason for the commissioner to be viewing anyone’s tax filings.

“IRS Chief: “Trump is a liar, we audited him because his taxes are highly suspicious””

Uuuummmm, yeah....the IRS has ceded its credibility with the targeting of the conservative groups...sorry, you only get to prove that your organization is a partisan hack factory once, then you lose all credibility, time to earn it back, and this appears to be a partisan attack, prove us wrong.

And there had better not be any whining when the shoe is on the other foot...

Koskinen, the only thing “highly suspicious” is your honesty and integrity....
