Dems Are Now Offering a Reward For Trump's Tax Returns

Trump has long insisted he can’t release his tax returns because they’re currently under review, reiterating this position on Wednesday at a news conference in Florida.

But that’s not stopping Democrats (and Republicans) from wanting to know what’s in them. Some donors have even offered rewards for their release.

Moishe Mana, a top fundraiser for Clinton, has offered to give $1 million to the charity of Trump's choice if he makes them public. He joins an unnamed Republican donor working with Clinton ally David Brock who has made a similar offer of $5 million.

"Through his financial documents, we are trying to break into the image that he's portraying to the American people," said Mana, a real estate developer in Miami. "He says he's a successful businessman who wants to do for the country what he did for his company. Well, go ahead, show me the money."

The issue again surfaced this week after the DNC email hack, which the Obama administration has said was likely Russia’s doing.

Uh, why don't the dncE assclowns "urge the Russians to hack into the system" and get them? Weird huh? So Trump says to Russia, 'if you're listening and you have the 30,000 emails we'd like to see them' has become, to some like leonski pinata, some secret teleconference with Putin to do that. I'm am actually surprised, though I shouldn't be, at how quick they've managed to twist this one out of any credible understanding.

How about a full disclosure and demand of an independent audit of the Clinton Foundation?

Isn’t making an unauthorized disclosure of IRS information a crime or something?

For people who are offended at being hacked, they demand their political opponent’s personal information be hacked for partisan political gain.

No principle; just naked expediency present with Democrats.

A green light for a greedy shill at the IRS to leak his returns.

There are thousands of Lois Lerners there.

Trump has released his Personal Financial Statements prepared by Grant Thornton. That shows your NET WORTH!!!!!!!!!!! Income Tax Return is just that INCOME....Two Different animals. 1040 does not show your NET WORTH.

It was so dishonest of Kaine to say Trump is cheating on his taxes. I don’t believe that anyone that’s been audited for 14 straight years is going to cheat on their taxes.

Kaine should point his disdain to someone like George Soros who uses a Caribbean Island as headquarters to dodge paying taxes in the USA.

At this point, Trump should tell them to go F a rope. I wouldn’t show them anything. Screw them.

The man makes one single comical comment about inviting the Russians to supply us with Hillary’s emails, and it’s non stop coverage in the media...which is funny since it took away from that boring DNC POS FLAG-LESS FAG-RICH convention.

Romney kept saying there has got to be a “bombshell” in there... Didn’t Romney allow Obama not to disclose lots of bombshell documents?

You mean like misusing agency resources to go after your political opponents?

Cruz believes there is a connection to a concrete company which makes shoes run by someone named Guido.

What's the point. Trump filled out the disclosure forms AS REQUIRED.

The 1040 cr** is only a custom. Many of these candidates have only released pgs 1 & 2 of the 1040.

Notice how these sick bastards try to change the subject to the Russians...to avoid the content of their emails. And the traitor MSM touts this crap. They all deserve Hell.

The sheer massive size of Trump’s return would be a treasure trove for his business enemies. This is precisely why such returns are absolutely private.

I think Trump should respond by offer a million dollars for transcripts of the speeches that Hillary has given to Goldman Sacks.

BTW how about the tax returns on the Clinton Foundation?

This is exactly what Trump should come back with.

They already have his tax returns, they would rather see him release it so there isn’t a criminal investigation when they release them to the press

In calling for their release they are skating right on the edge of basically challenging someone to obtain them via possibly illegal means. After all, your tax returns contain your full name, address, SSN. This is what is known as PII or personally identifiable information. Both SSNs and PII in general are protected by a confusing quilt of laws at both federal and state level. There is probably no way a third party could obtain Trump's (or anyone's) tax returns (without their permission) without violating a half dozen or so laws.

Of course these are 'rats we're talking about. Laws apparently, heck demonstrably don't apply to them.

The Rats are implying that the IRS has failed to catch Trump doing something wrong, yet when the FBI overlooks wrongdoing, they cheer about it.
