My guess is the IRS can ask for and get the donor list.

Well, I don't like that at all, if that's the case. The IRS better have some very solid proof that something criminal is going on to even make a request like that. And even then, the request should be limited to donors who gave huge sums or your top five donors, etc., not just every Joe SixPack who sent in 100 bucks.

I just don't like the government knowing every little thing about who gives what to whom.

I agree but it seems the IRS has the ability to get/require that a filer provide them with tons of documentation. I don't like it either as it can happen to anyone that gets afoul of them.... and as you say whether they are in the wrong or not...

A list of ALL donors does seem very unusual - and if there are as many donors as the cash inflow might suggest, quite time-consuming to review.

I have to wonder as well if the IRS isn't "on to something" about a particular donor or perhaps type of donor.
