Why hasn't the IRS or someone in the IRS leaked Trump's taxes?

We all know the country is deeply divided over the patriotism and integrity of our president. Look at the posts on this board. An early feature of that division was whether or not candidate Trump would present the voters with his taxes. He explained that he could not. That was over two years ago. But through all of this his tax records have remained confidentially kept at the IRS. We know that within that government agency there exist people who dislike Trump, just like on the outside of the agency. There must be at least a few who wouldn't mind hurting his reputation. In other words, you would think that someone in the IRS would have leaked his taxes, or least figured out a way to reveal some of the information in his taxes. Yet, in all this time with all the controversy (and all this discussion about the "deep state") almost nothing -save for that weird little squirt of information Rachel Maddow breathlessly reported way back when- has been revealed. Even though I think it would be appropriate for the President to share his taxes, the fact that the federal agency assigned to safeguard those documents has not released them and no one inside the agency has leaked them says a lot about the agency and its employees. That's as much as I can figure. Maybe someone else has a different theory.

Short answer. Trump's a pathetic, lying, pussy who caters to the lowest common denominator. Everyone outside his base knows he's hiding shit that's why everyone affiliated with him has been busted lying to authorities and indicted.

President Trump has been an astute businessman his whole adult life.

He knows that the best way to keep the IRS off your back is to stay within the law. He hires the best Tax Attorneys to make sure this happens. It is simply bad business to skirt the tax laws.

I have always had a theory about why the President does not want to release his tax records.

He has always exagerated his wealth. During the election, he tossed around that 10 billion personal worth. Far too many money people who know his holdings simply said that just could not be true.

Many who are in the know estimate the Presidents wealth at between 2 and 3 billion. That is mega rich, But a far cry from 10 billion. His tax records will show more than he wants them too in regards to his true wealth.

It’s an ego thing. Plain and simple.

Don’t bother, man.

Some of these folks are beyond reason, as displayed in this post.

Yet they have no compunction criticizing everybody else for the private sins their lord commits in public.

Another reason why I would never vote for Trump. Lied about releasing his tax returns.

You want to know who your President could possibly be beholden to.

All those bankruptcies were another problem.

And of course the lies...but they all loe, . . Just not like Trump!

I've a close friend who's spouse is a high level admin within the organization in question (they whose initials shall not be spoken....nor written, in this case).

Word has it, those who have clearance and access to said annual tax returns safeguard everyone's records / files with a keen sense of moral and legal obligation. While accounts / files can be hacked, compromising the sworn duty to protect them is evidently not in their dna.

That said, she said there is nothing there (to see) per a certain person's past tax records. While there are those who do not care for this person's history of questionable business practices, this person's tax attorneys evidently take only what the tax codes allow....and nothing more.

No smoke...no fire...no droids.....

Oh, another thing. Isn't odd how libs (in this forum and within congress, the lyin' media, etc) call Trump the stupidest man alive....and yet he's referred to as a "mastermind" in this thread. Which is it, you fuckin' bozos...? Surely no one be both at the same time.....no one as stupid as you claim he is can, on the flip side, be a criminal colluding savant....

Other than the IRS.

His returns evidently passed muster by the IRS.

Likely carefully prepared by well-paid tax lawyers.

Trump is entitled as any taxpayer to take deductions per the tax code.

I bet he has been audited - but no criminal prosecutions on that matter.

Unless the IRS files a criminal case for tax fraud - his returns are his to maintain privately as he chooses
Just as any other citizen!
But, of course, the DPST's don't see it that way
Their vision might focus a bit if their own returns were required to be public and audited to every period on the paper.

You nailed it oeb, no person or President is required to release their tax forms to anyone, they are not required to be made public to anyone (and, as apparently was the case with Odumbo's real birth certificate either!) ..... and to answer the OP's question,"why hasn't someone in the IRS leaked his taxes?" ..... Um, I'm guessing cause they want to keep their jobs? .....
