My take-away from the Weaver-Frank segment on Hardball.

Matthews came back and back to the question: why hasn't Bernie released his tax returns. Weaver ducked and weaved time and again but he finally said that Bernie said he would release them.

When? Someone help me out here (I was busy on the computer at the time). Either before the California vote or the convention. Did someone catch it?

10. And Jane said they'd release them on April 18, then April 29, and then who knows?

They're going to stall until he's no longer a viable candidate, then never have to worry about it again. And then, if he never runs for Senator again (a distinct possibility) he'll never have to submit another Personal Financial Disclosure (which Weaver droned on and on about tonight).

So it's before the convention (when it doesn't matter) and they'll provide the release date.

Very skeptical about the date.

8. BS said in an early April debate he would release his 2015 tax return "when it is due."

But he never did as April 15 came and went.

11. Jane said the same thing to Andrea Mitchell the day before they left for Rome, "when it's due"...

... they both know that there's NO reason so to do. He's not going to be the nominee ... they both know it ... so why bother?
