Bernie on "Meet the Press" today:

CHUCK TODD:

All right, you brought up the whole issue with getting money and the speeches to Wall Street. Would you be on higher ground if you released, you have released less about your taxes and tax returns than any other candidate running for president other than Donald Trump. Where are your tax returns, and wouldn't that put you on a higher ground in calling for Hillary Clinton to say, "Release these speech transcripts"?

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS:

We are going to release, I think we've talked about it before. Actually, my wife works on our taxes, we've been busy. We are going to get all of our taxes out. Trust me, there is nothing that is going to surprise anybody.

CHUCK TODD:

Are you going to do seven, ten, 15-years' worth of tax returns? So far you've done one.

After a strange pregnant pause, Bernie seemed to again channel platitudes.

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS:

We will do the best that we can. But yeah, we will get our tax returns out. Look, the issue facing this country, Chuck, and why our campaign is doing well, is the American people are tired of establishment politics in which the wealthiest people become much richer. And I would hope that we can focus on those important issues.

CHUCK TODD:

I understand that. I will leave it there. I know we're going to hear from you a lot in the next ten days. Senator Sanders, thanks for coming on the show.

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS:

My pleasure.

Now I'm wondering how the wealthy Sanders family may have become richer over his establishment political career?

Goose/gander, baby!
