Is he going to skate on this?
If he is so proud of his tax filings - why has he fought tooth and nail all this time to keep them secret? What did he want to hide?
Why has he lied to the American People that he's been under audit all these years?

(130,497 posts)of crimes, but they are likely to show what a crappy businessman he really is, which is the most likely reason he didn't want them disclosed. I think the more important issue is the failure of the IRS to audit them like they were supposed to, either because that was the intentional decision of the TFG-appointed IRS commissioner, or because the IRS is so underfunded and understaffed that it can't audit complex returns and instead picks on the little guys.

(5,058 posts)and presidency. If you go back to the interviews of the MAGA crowds back in 2015-2016, every single one of them said TFG is a "great businessman" as part of the reason they support him. He couldn't/wouldn't have won if his taxes were released back then because he would have to defend his great businessman image.
After 2016, it became a great talking point for them. His cultists loved that he fought the MSM and democrats on everything. And taxes is one of them.

Why did they choose those years? Beats the shit out of me.

Congress has good reason to look into that.

(2,047 posts)He told AOC, I believe it was her, he would raise the price of a building for loans (this would be documented) and when it came time for taxes, he lowered that price dramatically. That is a big no no. I am sure there is more, but we have been given a road map.

The only way is carryover, which is probably bullshit anyway.
