2012 GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney said Wednesday on Fox News there is good reason to believe there is a "bombshell" to be found in Donald Trump's back taxes.
Asked by host Neil Cavuto why he hadn't officially backed a Republican for the 2016 nomination, Romney said he would like to see the back taxes from several of the candidates. Taxes were a sore spot for Romney in 2012, with then-Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) publicly accusing him of not even paying them.
"This will give us a real sense of whether these people are on the up and up and whether they've been telling us things about themselves that are true or not," Romney said. "Frankly, I think we have good reason to believe that there's a bombshell in Donald Trump's taxes."
"What do you mean?" Cavuto asked.
"I think there's something there," Romney said. "Either he's not anywhere near as wealthy as he says he is or he hasn't been paying the kind of taxes we would expect him to pay, or perhaps he hasn't been giving money to the vets or to the disabled like he's been telling us he's been doing, and the reason that I think there's a bombshell in there is because every time he's asked about his taxes he dodges and delays and says, well, we're working on it."
Romney said voters have a right to see the tax returns from the nominees before making their choice. Later, Cavuto asked if by using the word "bombshell," Romney was truly questioning whether Trump had been truthful about helping veterans.
"It's very possible," he said. "You know, Donald Trump has said he's the best in the country for the disabled veterans and for the disabled generally. Well, if his taxes show that he hasn't made any contributions to the disabled veterans, or to the disabled generally, that would be a big issue. I'm not saying that's the case. I have no evidence of that, but I'm just saying there are things that could be issues, and when people decide they don't want to give you their taxes, it's usually because there's something they don't want you to see."

Cruz was the candidate they needed to get rid of.
Willard is the ultimate SORE LOSER!
His jealousy could NOT possibly be more transparent.
Amen!
Slime Ball Deluxe!
“Hogwash”!!! Mitt Romney, like “failure” John McCain is nothing but a has been loser!!! Donald Trump should film a political ad that shows “weak sister” Mitt Romney be eaten alive on national TV by CNN’s Candy Crowley. I would not let a moron like Mitt Romney to take my garbage out.
IMHO, he and his buddy, John McCain gave us Barack Hussein Obama. Has beens...that never were!!! And...me, the biggest dummy in the world for supporting and voting for these turncoats.
Reid pulled that on Romney from the Senate floor, where Reid had immunity. I wonder if Trump's lawyers have pointed that out to Romney yet.
Exactly so!
He wilted like 7 day-old flowers against Obama!
Nope, never a real candidate. Too narrow to win even a deeply conservative state like SC. Sorry your guy’s a loser. He better hope he holds his senate seat, cause he blew a sure USSC nomination under Pres. Trump.
BTTT
This looks like a last gasp effort by the GOPe
*************
That is exactly what it is: a carefully orchestrated attempt to take Trump down.
The GOPe will fight to their last breath to get Trump out of the race. This is an existential matter for them. If Trump wins, they lose.
The GOPe is corrupt and devious and will do anything to preserve the old order. These people must be defeated.
Yes, exactly what you said. What a total sniveling punk little rich boy this guy his. If I were to say what I’m thinking I’d be guilty of another sin.
LOLOLOLOLOL.
Right on!!
You’re right!
Very telling!
The GOPe can’t control Donald Trump so they need to try to destroy him.
Well, We the Voters and Trump will prevail.
Just Watch Us!
LET’S ROLL!
+1 :)
Mitt is a mormon so...... that schlong might have to be wrapped up in special underwear.
Of Course Romney fails to further elucidate us on the matter. He hasn’t got a clue about Donald Trump or his finances. He is just attempting to start something up. Anything.
Lol. Now you’ve gone and done it, Mitt. I predict this thread reaches a Million posts....maybe, a BILLION!!!
But Romney was too much of a wuss even to stand up to Candy "I'll have the extra donut" Crowley, let alone Megyn "Bleeding from wherever" Kelly.
I'm buying popcorn futures: the press did not make Trump, so they cannot break him.
