8. So could Sanders. He could have them up within an hour, if he wanted.

Why doesn't he? Doesn't really make sense to me. I imagine they are finalizing some revisions, or something of the like. Jane was their tax preparer. I imagine some of the deductions were kind of funny. But I don't see anything earth shattering even if there were corners cut or questionable deductions. Maybe they filed jointly and it's really on Jane Sanders side of the equation.

Do they not want people to find that they are multi-millionaires? We already know that they are very wealth.

Do they not want people to see how many homes they own? We already know they own multiple homes. Any somewhat wealthy family would make real property a part of their portfolio.

Do they not want people to know how much Jane has brought into their household? I think it's awesome that she was probably the bread winner until Bernie decided to run for President and started making millions.

I am assuming it's the nature of deductions or in one or two of the years they made income from a place they don't want people to know about. I don't get why they haven't released them.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
