Trump was a private citizen before getting elected. He is under ZERO obligation to release his tax records to anyone. If the IRS had any issues with him, it would have come out before he even thought about running for Pres.

In fact, no person who is elected President is obligated to release their tax records. However, I'd love to see the tax records of the lifetime politicians. I think THAT would be more telling.

Google is your friend. Romney's, Obama's, McCain's, and Clinton's are available.

Oh, right, sorry. You didn't mean you wanted to SEE them, you meant you wanted to whatabout.

Carry on.

Obama was heavily invested into BP when the "BP Spill" happened.

BP: A "Serial Environmental Criminal" With Close Ties To The Obama Administration

Democratic strategist James Carville, who was raised in Louisiana, called Obama's handling of the oil spill "lackadaisical" and "unbelievable" in its "stupidity." The Obama administration granted BP a waiver from environmental regulations in April 2009.

Obama received lots of campaign contributions from BP. ABC News reports that the "top recipient of BP-related donations during the 2008 cycle was President Barack Obama himself
https://cei.org/blog/bp-serial-environmental-criminal-close-ties-obama-administration

Oh yes, AND the bp stocks belonging to obummer were in his blind trust...


...and about the people T-bones mentioned:

Perhaps the campaign can explain how releasing this information does some good for the country? Since the money came from a “blind trust”, the Clintons had no input into the decision making process of which stocks to buy, making the comments of the Obama campaign even more nonsensical.

Or will there just be another quote later on from the Senator yet again distancing himself from the actions of a staff member?

Oooo 4 of them. Wow, that's impressive. And no, I'm talking about government and I'm talking about BOTH parties so take your idiotic assumptions of what you think I meant and stick them somewhere.
You also missed the point, as usual. The 4 you listed ran for or became President AFTER years of being in politics. Trump went from private citizen to President without taking that step.

So no Tec, my post was about forcing the release of the tax records of EVERY senior level member of govt, which means Congress and the Senate. For that matter they should also have to undergo mandatory, periodic drug testing.

Deutsche Bank has Trump's tax records sought by House Democrats


https://www.axios.com/deutsche-bank...eek-9a2749d7-1a79-40be-92d9-3e7abaa05308.html

If Donald had nothing to hide.....he should have graciously and diplomatically agreed to have them released and prevented all this BS. His "secondary gain"......is all the attention he gets about them. For him......even bad attention is attention.....
Now reported that Trump business loans were co-signed by Russuan oligarchs.

It would have shown he 'was beholden' to them, now they have shown that he is 'already one of theirs as the folder is much thicker than one where the person is not in somebodies pocket.

Nope, many, many more. The fact that you don't know that demonstrates that you didn't look. Which demonstrates that my comment about whataboutery was correct.

Thanks for making it so easy.

And no, I'm talking about government and I'm talking about BOTH parties so take your idiotic assumptions of what you think I meant and stick them somewhere.
Party finances are all public record.

You also missed the point, as usual. The 4 you listed ran for or became President AFTER years of being in politics. Trump went from private citizen to President without taking that step.

As I've demonstrated, you don't know what you're talking about.

But I take your ultimate point. You think everybody except Il Dope should have to release their financials.

Whatabout, whatabout, whatabout.

MSNBC's O'Donnell says he should not have reported unverified claim on air about Trump loans

Hey Hoid how come you never posted about the retraction?

O'Donnel said it was from a single source. That does not mean that it's wrong.

MSNBC’s Lawrence O’Donnell Admits to ‘Error in Judgment’ on Thinly-Sourced Trump Story: ‘I Shouldn’t Have Reported It’


Last night on MSNBC, Lawrence O’Donnell shared a report that Russian oligarchs co-signed loans President Donald Trump obtained. It was very thinly sourced and even as he broke the report O’Donnell himself placed an “if true” on it.

O’Donnell and MSNBC have since been roundly criticized on how this made it to air in the first place when NBC News did not verify the reporting, and Trump’s attorney sent NBCUniversal a letter threatening legal action.

This afternoon O’Donnell took to Twitter to admit “I was wrong to discuss it on the air” when it “didn’t go through our rigorous verification and standards process”:

"IF TRUE"

F*cK, you dirty lil socks spend a lot of time on welfare just LYIN' around making your heads disappear by opening your mouths.
