Priebus: It's up to Trump on whether to release his tax returns
Politico ^ | 5/12/16 | Nolan D. McCaskill

Posted on 05/13/2016 3:26:42 PM PDT by Albion Wilde

Donald Trump can make his own decision about whether to release his tax returns before the general election, Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus said Thursday....

...the billionaire reportedly suggested that he wouldn’t release his tax returns before November. The real estate mogul told Fox News host Greta Van Susteren that while he’s under audit “every single year,” he will “hopefully” release his tax returns before Nov. 8....

“I don’t know the rules on audits and I’m not going to get into that," Priebus said. “Every candidate can make their own decision.”

Why is the IRS dragging their feet? Trump said he will release his return when the audit is complete

Priebus is a GOPe piece of work.

Yes, he helped us elect Governor Scott Walker (R, WI) but I still don’t trust him any further than I can throw him.

Trump is stopping a "custom" that should have never started.

What the hell is disclosure form for?? I don't want to give the Public the names of all the Banks I deal with etc etc...

This will p** off Romney...and give Hillary something to chew about....

Let's see....how does Trump operate??

I'm waiting for Trump to dump a pile of cr** on Hillary's dealings as soon as she opens her mouth.

I also expect a cattle commercial in her future.

I love what Donald Trump told “ George Step-on-all-of-us” of ABC’s Good Morning America, today when he asked Trump what percentage he was in on the taxes and Trump told him it wasn’t any of his business and he would know when Trump releases his tax report. LOVE IT!

The IRS is still deciding what to leak to the media. Give them time. The IRS knows what they are doing.

Obama is the precedent for not releasing papers along with John Hanoi Kerry not releasing military records.

When Lyin’ Ted was pushing this a few months ago, he only released front and back of his and Heidi’s Form 1040.

No supporting schedules whatsoever, not even Schedule A with charitable contributions.

Ted was probably hoping if he could get Trump to do the same, it’d embarrass Trump by showing less income than people thought, or a low effective tax rate.

Political theater only.

This is the same lapdog who “corrected” the fool on the hill when he inadvertsntly said his “muslim” religion. George is a useful idiot and a RAT hack wearing a phony journalist hat. What a joke.

If I were Trump, I wouldn't release the 1040. Why? He probably took "only" $5 million in salary. The journalist and media outlets attacking Trump will say, "he made 5 million, and claims to be a billionaire." They will also criticize Trump for not giving anything to charity. (Because it goes through the companies he owns...for a good reason).

Did Eisenhower , Truman, FDR, and Kennedy release their tax returns?

Priebus is much more nicely manageable and obedient, now that Trump has beaten it into him. ;)

this muslim fa....t communist loving p#### is destroying our country more and more each day.

who gives a flying #### about Trump’s taxes.

i’m more concerned with Obama getting google set up to vote online before the election which will ensure our loss.

and the felons being allowed to vote..

and illegals.

#### Trump’s taxes.

and if he loses and thinks deceit was involved, I’ll back him up ONE HUNDRED percent on what he says or does

Gotta give credit where it’s due. Priebus is showing he’s more of a man than Paul Ryan, Ted Cruz, Mitt Romney, Lindsay Graham, or Jeb Bush to name a few.

He’s running for President. If he was applying for a home loan, he would have to show his tax returns, but he’s not applying for a home loan. It’s up to him.

-——Just making sure we get Preibus on the record here. -——

I think his response was fine....

It’s Trumps decision, what more could he have said....?

It’s not like he has anything to do with it...
