"Sanders released his 2014 tax return late Friday. It showed that he and his wife, Jane, earned $205,271 that year, largely from his $174,000 Senate salary and the Social Security benefits they both receive.
He owed $27,653 in federal taxes, but had $31,825 withheld, and received a $4,172 return, according to the documents.
Still, only Democratic presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton has fully disclosed years worth of returns. Sanders has released an abbreviated version of his taxes for a single year. Trump hasnt released anything..."
Personally I could not care less about either of their tax returns. But the demand that Hillary release her speech transcripts is absurd. It is a thinly veiled smear that she made promises in return for money - i.e., basically whored herself out. This is rich coming from a guy who has not released all his tax returns, and who moreover is on record for ACTUALLY trading votes for support (NRA).

It's funny to see Sanders supporters, the alleged champions of free speech and equality

I guess we've moved away from "Cooperating fully with the investigation."

The OIG begs to differ. Trump is riding an anti-establishment wave. A Hillary nomination

As long as only Democrats are allowed to vote in November you should be safe.
