The Siberian Candidate.
I would love to see this headline every day between now and Election Day.
The IRS has already said Donald can release his returns they have no regulation stopping him.
There is no such. Period.
Manafart’s Joker wardrobe really underscores his villainy…
“It has nothing to do with Russia.”
BOOM!!
When they have to go out of their way to say that, it has everything to do with Russia.
Norah really missed the chance to pin Manafort on the fact that Trump can still release them. It is not up to the IRS. So typical of the media to let a GOPer off the hook.
There’s no earthly reason, no legal or practical reason, why you can’t release tax documents during an audit in the first place. When it comes to releasing taxes, something every presidential candidate has done since Nixon, there are nothing but excellent points in favor of it. These months of stonewalling and the lying excuses for it are an indictment of this reckless, greedy, stupid man’s entire life in business. And the circumstantial evidence that there’s a quid pro quo involved is obvious. Unfortunately there’s no mechanism to force him to release those taxes. That is, without the legal system being involved. But this man and the situation he’s created are insane enough that you can’t rule out any scenario.
If the damned audit materially changed the information the taxpayer initially released that’s a problem for the people he released them to to deal with. The Feds don’t give a damn if NBC News get an incomplete or inaccurate picture, nor whether the facts of the tax return change later due to an audit.
wow …the man who screamed “release the birth certificate” “release the college papers” “release that 2nd grade report card” at one BHO is now to scared to release what every presidental candidate has released for years.
Americans voting Trump…suckers…
Each time a Democrat says “Where are the tax forms, Donald?” it must be immediately be followed with “The IRS does not restrict you from releasing them!”. Because the media will fail to point this out just as they have time and time again.
It’s remarkable that the same GOPers who want to investigate every breath Hillary Clinton takes, are perfectly content to believe that Trump has nothing to hide in the tax returns he’s hiding.
Yup. And the 8821 deals with stating people with whom the IRS is allowed to speak, and v-v, concerning your info. Any one of us could post our returns online, and it’s no concern of the IRS’s. We might not wish to do so for many reasons, but this blaming a failure to disclose on an audit as such, is nonsense.
Of COURSE not. Why on EARTH would people think you guys are lying? Pesky liberals…
“Mr Manafort: Are you now or have you even been indirectly on Putin’s payroll?”
I just saw the Manafart interview on CBS This Morning. When we was asked about the returns and if Russian oligarchs were investing in Comrade tRump’s businesses Manafart’s physical reaction was very disturbing.
There is something in those returns that would not play out well.
This was a great piece on Trump’s refusal to release his returns. His refusal tells us much.
Donald Trump: The gift that goes on giving.
Oh,didn’t he say it was a multi-year audit? (that will be the next hedge)
Like I said, he’ll quit the race before releasing them. And since there is no mechanism to force their release to the public The Donald will stay on the ballot, and the tax returns will remain in a safe.
