Audits aren't made public, so donor names wouldn't be disclosed to anyone except the IRS investigator.
As I understand the complaint about the IRS using audits as a political tool, the complaint is that it is a form of harassment. The IRS cannot make up charges. They can question people and ask for records, but if there is nothing wrong the audit is simply annoying.

Do you realize what you just said? It's the standard statist mantra: "What do you have to fear if you've done nothing wrong."
Miss statist Marple, you disappoint me this evening.
You ever hear the expression ... it's the principle of the thing?
