How long does it take to audit tax returns, it has been going on for over a year,

[Motley13]

1. He lied.

[True Dough]

7. It's all he does

Welcome to the DU!

2. All of Trump's tax returns have all been under audit for decades

His businesses are so great, merely mortal government auditors can't understand them.

3. Can you say,

"LIE"?

I knew you could.

4. Mueller almost certainly has all the returns he needs.

[BigmanPigman]

9. I heard that Mueller is so sharp

that he probably got them a while ago.

5. The way he is structured he will always be under audit.

Literally. The chances of him not being able to legitimately claim he is being audited are slim to none. It doesn't matter in any way about any thing.

[Kablooie]

6. 4 years I guess

[Sneederbunk]

8. Trump has not produced evidence of an audit.

10. The lsos has never produced the evidence that he is under audit

11. Everyone with half a brain cell knows it's bullshit.

[Caliman73]

12. It has never been about the audit.

The IRS stated way back that the presence of an audit was not a reason why he could not release his tax returns.

Trump simply does not want to release them because he knows that they will receive the scrutiny they deserve and will bring out very unpleasant, likely embarrassing, and possibly incriminating information about his finances and financial ties.

It is likely that Mueller has them, but is likely not to put them out until the investigation is completed. Mueller appears to be acting in a very shrewd and above board manner regarding the investigation and releasing such salacious (even if materially important) information might taint the investigation.

Remember that Watergate took almost 2 years and Whitewater was going on for almost 4.

13. This is going on I would say for 2 years. Mueller has them. n/t
