Color me stupid but if someone at the IRS sees Trump's returns and also sees connections

with Russia which could result in a danger to the national security shouldn't they be required to report this information to someone?

For example, If everything was above board and a politicians taxes revealed that they received money directly Putin I would think that would be a national security interest and the IRS would have to share the information with the proper authorities

At the very least they should be auditing him again since they were 't doing it when he said they were.

I also don't know why his taxes haven't been leaked but that just me being curious

can get a warrant for those tax returns to examine connections.

I have never heard of an IRS counterintelligence unit.

Also chances are the connections would be buried through shell corporations and take time to trace.

FBI to look into his taxes as it is a matter of national intelligence.

Why haven't they done that?

they don't have any "annual tax returns" from the Corrupt One?

Weren't we told years ago "only the little people pay taxes"?
