One thing for sure, it appears President Nixon never committed treason, engaged in Russian dirty money laundering and released his tax returns under audit? Yet tRump a fake president and thus far and exception to the rule at having a free pass to screw the world. Additionally, tRump a Russian dirty money laundering criminal and I believe the first so-called president in history who used Russians and treasonous GOPers to lawlessly hack and rig his way into the White House just to be a demagogue, global menace and a thieving tyrant against the taxpayer, etc. In comparison to tRump, President Nixon was a amateur who doesn't scratch the surface of the deplorable crimes against humanity and the laws that this demagogue and treasonous imposter tRump has done:

Nixon released his tax returns under audit. Why can't Trump?

He indicated in an Associated Press story that he would do so after the audit ends, which may not happen before November.

Yet here's the thing: There's nothing preventing Trump from releasing his tax returns now. Not the IRS, not the law, not even precedent.
Turns out Richard Nixon publicly released his tax returns while they were under audit in 1973, at the height of the Watergate investigation.
But Watergate wasn't the reason, according to tax historian Joe Thorndike.

In the summer and fall of that year, "Nixon was engulfed by a controversy over his personal taxes. An outsize charitable donation was the proximate cause, but the scandal expanded to include numerous issues with the returns Nixon had filed between 1968 and 1972," Thorndike noted in a soon-to-be-published paper.

Slow down, take a breath, and think about what you want to say before you post. You appear to be rushing things, which makes your posts a bit less than coherent.

The LAW has already said he needs to turn them over.

He is ignoring THE LAW.

Why should he care about any (fictitious) 'rules' which say he can't release under audit?
 
Trump has a lot to hide. Nixon was nailed with back taxes when his were aired. Nixon was nailed with a 400,000 dollar tax bill. He said, "the confidentiality of my private finances is less important to me than proving the integrity of the president." It failed in every way.
Trump would likely be in worse trouble.
However ,Trump's taxes shall be given to the head of Ways and means. Not much wriggle room in that.
 
This article from 1974 reports that President Nixon's tax liabilities were scrutinized and exposed, something that tRump is oblivious too to, and to which tRump probably owes far more than President Nixon was accountable for at being over $1 billion in debt, and who even indicated smart people like him do not pay taxes.

For the JCT, auditing Nixon’s returns proved a huge undertaking, though it would likely pale in comparison to an investigation of Trump’s finances, given his myriad business interests.
Nixon’s finances were not particularly complicated, but the agency needed four months to examine his returns, during which time it conducted approximately 30 interviews, including with top aides H.R. Haldeman and John Dean and Nixon’s friend Bebe Rebozo.
In April 1974, JCT produced a 1,000-page report that found almost a dozen problems with Nixon’s returns. The agency said he owed $475,431 including interest for unpaid taxes over four years. It amounted to half of Nixon’s net worth. :

Of course, Trump can release his tax returns.

Republican Romney's tax return, when he was running, showed he was very generous, giving several times more to charity than all the current Democratic candidates combined. Yet, the lib media gave Romney to credit for his generosity. Nor, has the media given the Democrats any grieve for their shocking degree of stinginess, which is also hypocritical because they want to raise out taxes.

The media would obsess with Trump's tax return, using it to bash him, even if there's nothing wrong with it. Trump should keep his returns private. Most certainly, Trump's return will show he has practically no taxable income, which will cause media shrieks about a billionaire paying no taxes.

Billionaires and rich companies (Apple, etc.) pay very little in taxes. The working poor (without government handouts) pay a higher percent in total taxes than the rich. The more money you have, the smaller percent of your income goes to taxes.

Read or listen to the Johnson tapes. He made a point that treason is exactly what Nixon was engaged in running up to the election.

Do you have any credible link to support this nonsense? The rich pay the lions share of taxes in this country. I am amused by claims like these.

This is an outright LIE and it is LAME. The poor pay very little if anything in taxes. The middle Class pay the bulk of the taxes after the wealthy. But even then, the wealthy, in the minority, pay the lions share of taxes.

Another LIE and LAME. Do you have a link to support this claim? If all these millionaires are paying so little, why do they pay the LIONS share of the taxes in this country?

Politicians exploit public ignorance. Few areas of public ignorance provide as many opportunities for political demagoguery as taxation.

Today some politicians argue that the rich must pay their fair share and label the proposed changes in tax law as tax cuts for the rich.

Let’s look at who pays what, with an eye toward attempting to answer this question: Are the rich paying their fair share?

According to the latest IRS data, the payment of income taxes is as follows.

The top 1 percent of income earners, those having an adjusted annual gross income of $480,930 or higher, pay about 39 percent of federal income taxes. That means about 892,000 Americans are stuck with paying 39 percent of all federal taxes.

The top 10 percent of income earners, those having an adjusted gross income over $138,031, pay about 70.6 percent of federal income taxes.

About 1.7 million Americans, less than 1 percent of our population, pay 70.6 percent of federal income taxes. Is that fair, or do you think they should pay more?

By the way, earning $500,000 a year doesn’t make one rich. It’s not even yacht money.

What do losers on the left expect to find in someone's tax returns that isn't already indicated on the financial disclosures Trump had to file?

Yes, he ignored that for 50 years, candidates wanted to prove they were honest and not committing financial crimes or evading taxes. Trump's taxes would show the opposite and that is why he refused to release them. His followers are fine with a money laundering and bank fraud.
 
IF Trump WANTED TO release his taxes he wouldn't let the law prevent him.

Laws are something that, if they get in his way, he finds a way around them.

Or he TRIES TO.

'Can't release because of audit.'

What a CROCK.

Trump is so full of it.

Don't believe the BS from the conman.
 
Swampy Don is a Northeastern elitist. They think they are special. So do Republicans.

It's never been a requirement for elected office. Billionaires get audited every year. If he was committing crimes, don't you think he would have been arrested by now?

You dishonest hacks on the left seldom think past the boorish talking points you have been fed by FAKE news.

What laws is Trump breaking? I haven't seen a single credible piece of evidence to support the defamatory bullshit that erupts from leftist losers like you.
