My comments are not intended to be a political statement in any way\u2026.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s just common sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

Much of the media and Hillary Clinton continue to badger Trump for not releasing his tax returns\u00a0<\/span>and they will probably continue to do so.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Mr. Trump\u2019s tax returns are currently under audit as seems to be acknowledged in the media, then\u00a0<\/span>we have a totally different situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Could Trump release his tax returns, of course he could, but why in the hell would he do so?<\/span><\/p>\n

You might ask, \u2018what is the big deal?\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

Let me tell you.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a retired IRS Agent, I was the lead agent, team coordinator,\u00a0<\/span>on some of the largest corporations in the United States for many years.<\/span><\/p>\n

If Trump is currently under audit, he would be foolish, in my opinion, to release his tax returns.<\/span><\/p>\n

You may not like Trump, but he and his advisors are not stupid and their decision to NOT RELEASE\u00a0<\/span>his Tax Returns while he is under audit makes perfect sense to me and to several of my retired IRS\u00a0<\/span>friends and other CPA friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

If released, Trumps returns would immediately be analyzed, questioned and scrutinized by millions of\u00a0<\/span>media appointed unofficial but \u2018newly appointed\u2019 eyes analyzing Trump\u2019s tax returns. \u00a0The liberal media,\u00a0<\/span>attorneys, CPA\u2019s and other biased political foes would be viewing Trump\u2019s returns line by line.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These millions of new eyes would in effect be asking questions and raising issues via Twitter and\/or\u00a0<\/span>Facebook or talking heads on CNN or FOX and those comments and opinions would no doubt reach\u00a0<\/span>the ears of the IRS Agents currently auditing Trump\u2019s tax returns.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now Trump no longer has only 1 or a few IRS Agents (probably working out of the Manhattan office)\u00a0<\/span>auditing his returns, but now there are millions of new eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Would you want to be in this situation? I think not.<\/span><\/p>\n

Would Warren Buffet really allow his tax returns to be made available to the public? I think not.\u00a0<\/span>Hell, Warren is not running for anything so who cares?<\/span><\/p>\n

No one in their right mind would allow their tax returns to be made available to the press\/media\/public\u00a0<\/span>especially while they are under audit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This does not imply they have something to hide, it’s just common sense.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
