The Hill is reporting that neo- fascist banana Republican and Siberian candidate Donald "Rump" Trump, contrary to decades of custom, won't be releasing his tax returns.
We wonder why.
He's a tax fraud?
He didn't pay any taxes?
He lied about donating to charities?
He's dependent on loans from Putin oligarch buddies?
All of the above?
Coming on the heels of revelations that the hacking of the DNC e- mails was a Russian operation, curiously timed to benefit Rump and do damage to Hillary Clinton, added to the long- known fact that many of Rump's advisors have serious Russian connections, we're inclined to believe that what the Rump campaign fears most in his tax returns is that his business interests would be exposed as way too cozy and interdependent with the Russian despot, whose desire to weaken American interests is a given. Or, as Rump himself would speculate, "There’s something fishy about the whole thing... Obviously some people think it’s evil intentions. I think it’s incompetence. Regardless, a lot of people think it’s evil intentions... I don’t know. All I know is what’s on the Internet. Wow!" (Credit to frequent blind squirrel Dana Milbank who riffs on this here.)
And "let's dispel once and for all with the notion" that having the IRS auditing you precludes release. It doesn't.
Finally,
Same reporters who laughed at the idea that Donald Trump would run for president now mock the idea that he could be owned by foreign power.— Bob Schooley (@Rschooley) July 27, 2016

"Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall."
"Mr. Putin, can I borrow a few hundred million more?"
