Trump Camp: We Don’t Care About Clinton’s Taxes, Show Us Her Emails!
Source: Talking Points Memo
Donald Trump's campaign issued a statement Friday bashing Hillary Clinton for releasing her and her running mate Tim Kaine's tax returns, which was itself a move to pressure Trump into releasing his forms.
Trump communications advisor Jason Miller said Clinton only released her tax returns as a "distraction and misdirection" from her use of a private email server. Releasing tax returns has been the norm for presidential nominees dating back to the 1970s.
Nevertheless, Miller said Clinton was merely turning over "the only records nobody wants to see from her." He went on to call on Clinton to release the "33,000 emails she deleted to obstruct an FBI investigation," the "Clinton Foundation records showing how the Clintons sold our uranium to Russia, ripped off Haiti and cut deals with oppressive regimes around the world," and the "pay-for-play emails that Clintons Chief of Staff, Cheryl Mills, refuses to turn over."
"We want to see the transcripts of the secret Wall Street speeches Clinton was paid $10,000 dollars-a-minute to give," Miller continued. "We want to see the records the night of Benghazi that explain why Secretary Clinton didn't send in reinforcements as soon as the attack had begun."

(109,009 posts)Hillary's lawyers, using a computer program, sifted through all her emails to pull out the personal ones. Those were the only ones deleted. And no one is entitled to them.

(6,865 posts)He doesn't really care about "paid no taxes" part. He'll just chalk it up to "I know how to do business!"
However, if his taxes show the (likely) scenario that his claims of being a successful billionaire are bunk, and that he really only has several hundred million, that would hurt his pride and ego.
He'll then have a big 'ol sad pouty face, and waaaaahhhh!

(24,726 posts)so in that respect ----------------------where are yours for starters-------------what are you hiding?
Did you not get the email memo, that Clinton has been vetted on her e-mails?
You are losing this character race --------------you should be on a new show this fall, I forgot you will be, its called the federal court room on Trump University, then, we can all see your tax returns, you can't hide that information in that court, its called discovery ---have you figured this out yet------------have you?

They, of course, were all breathless in dissecting the Clinton's return for 2015 but Don the Con does not deserve to have that level of scrutiny, only Hillary and her fucking e-mails. This is "fair and balanced" according to someone's fucked-up perception, but hey tRump is running a non-traditional campaign (whatever the fuck that actually means) so journalistic integrity is not expected in covering it!

(20,912 posts)so those people are free to talk to the press. Hey, are they afraid of the truth?
Because congress already proved there was no stand down command in Benghazi but we all know Trump won't let people talk or show his tax returns because he's a coward.
