4. Trump's also still LYING in saying he "can't" when it's he WON'T...

He's still saying that he can't because of the IRS auditing him and that's been shown to be a LIE.

The IRS released a statement early last year saying taxes could be by the person being audited and in October '16 Warren Buffett called him on it by sharing his even though he too was being audited by the IRS. This was reported on by numerous news sources like the NYTs:
https://www.nytimes.com/2016/10/11/business/buffett-calls-trumps-bluff-and-releases-his-tax-return.html

The BIG question is WHY? Why lie and deal with increasing demands to see them if releasing them would stop it? Why lie if you have zero to hide? Even releasing the one(s) not actively under audit might make more people happier.

IMO Americans have the right to expect and require transparency from our candidates (and our government too unless, of course, our national security would truly be compromised.)

Here's a line Dems can get behind and the public will support them. Ligyron Apr 2017 #1
