A long, long time ago, I used to represent taxpayers (and a few people who should have been taxpayers, but werenât). Someone like Trumpâwith a lot of complex businesses and a determination to avoid (or even evade) any penny of tax is ALWAYS being audited. Literally.
Trumpâs breach of promise over the release of his tax returns is even more gratuitous than Clinton concealing her Goldman Sachs transcripts.

Guess Assange just got another command from Moscow.
Fuck off, WikiLeaks! You, too, KAC ⌠but you already knew you should fuck off and go to Hell (which has a cell waiting just for you).
Alternative facts Kellyanne? OK cheap shot (and one Iâll use over and over and over) . WikiLeaks? Send them to US? âJustâ as gratuitous as Clintonâs Wall Street Speeches? Oh you mean Presidents have been showing their tax returns and holdings for DECADES but it wasnât until the slut shaming of Hillary Clinton that you decided you needed to see her SPEECHES? Yeah, itâll be a cold day buddyâŚ
Is this a fact, or an alternative fact?
Facts, facts, facts. Trump Team picks from Door Number One, Door Number Two, or Door Number Three. Or, the Hidden Door.
Teatroll Rosetta Stone: âOops! I just realized he doesnât have to become a liar quite yet and can still hide behind the audit excuse for now!!!â
You can bet IF Trump releases his taxes itâll be a summary version of his taxes and not a complete document dump. The good stuff will of course be left out.
And this still does not prevent him from releasing his returns

Paul Krugmanâs column today âThings Can Only Get Worseâ features the image of this statue, Grief and History, and with it we have the theme of the next four years.
Pew: Negative Views of Trumpâs Transition, Amid Concerns About Conflicts, Tax Returns
One caveat, this is dated Jan 10, and the survey if Jan4-9, so it doesnât track with the Golden Showers Memo or any of the Russia stuff.
Go to Hell.
Too funny â NOW Wikileaks is suddenly going to pretend to be interested in Trumpâs taxes? Whom do they think theyâre fooling?
As for the Trump campâs claim that his returns are still being âaudited,â Iâm pretty sure they mean âedited,â as in retroactively doctored to hide all his malfeasance.
I believe itâs a return to an alternative fact following a statement of fact which may or may not have been intended to be factual.
Hey, Kelly Ann, if 2015 is still under audit, weâll settle for 2014. No? 2013? 2010? How about 2005?
âIf you hadnât nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies. Itâs rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible.â
I saw that photo last night. Itâs just stunningly and poignantly symbolic.
Majority also said Hillary should be presidentâŚgoodluck with thisâŚpersonally I donât even care, his releasing was to show what a shit he was, now weâll all have living proof and some dumb asses will still vote for him again and for the first time in 2020!
Hereâs the template for the next four years. He dumps, they come behind him to sweep the manure.
Trumpetâs first weekend in office unfolded much the way things often did during his campaign: with angry Twitter messages, a familiar obsession with slights and a series of meandering and at times untrue statements, all eventually giving way to attempts at damage control.
Mr. Trump decided to lash out about crowd sizes at his swearing in and to rewrite the history of his dealings with intelligence agencies.
The lack of discipline troubled even senior members of Mr. Trumpâs circle, some of whom had urged him not to indulge his simmering resentment at what he saw as unfair news coverage. Instead, Mr. Trump chose to listen to other aides who shared his outrage and desire to punch back. By the end of the weekend, he and his team were scrambling to get back on script.
@dickweed What mattered as we all know by now is 1) he wasnât The Black Man and 2) he wasnât the White Woman. Heâs going about undoing Obamaâs legacy with a furious vengeance.
