3. Welcome to DU, BringBackBarack!

That's probably THE question of the year.

Those tax returns will tell a LOT, and clear up a LOT.

It's such a bad precedent that's been set - that as of now, no other presidential candidates ever need to feel compelled to release their tax returns so that We-the-People can know their FULL profile and FULL backstory.

4. Thanks - I'm happy to be among like-minded people!

I think future Democratic presidents will be compelled to release them, but won't need to be compelled because (for the most part) Democratic politicians are honorable and follow the rules.

5. Let's hope it forces a new law onto the books that makes it MANDATORY

that ANY-and-ALL candidates for national office release their tax returns as a prerequisite for qualifying to get their name on the ballot.

6. The missing returns are proof that he is in hock to Putin.

Make him prove otherwise. Say it over and over until he caves or some IRS whistleblower rectifies this situation.

7. Rep. Bill Pascrell isn't going to let this issue go away.

“If I get a ‘no’ answer on this, I’ll be very honest with you: If these guys think I’m walking away from this, they’re absolutely nuts," Pascrell said. "The calls we’re getting, the calls other congressmen are getting, it’s unbelievable, we never expected this.”

8. You have to wonder why Don, Jr. was bragging about their business dealings in Russia.
