[B]oth campaigns only released the top lines of the forms, not the complete documents, providing only a limited look at their finances. Democrats and some Republicans quickly pounced on Rubio and Cruz for the limited release.

"Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio are guilty of a stunning lack of disclosure, failing to meet the standard that even Mitt Romney and Jeb Bush adhered to in 2012, when he released his tax returns and making it impossible to complete a public accounting of deductions, exemptions, capital gains, household employees, corporate ownerships, and other important financial information," said Ben Ray, a spokesman for American Bridge 21st Century, which conducts opposition research on Republican candidates.

Two of the biggest liars in the Republican Party. Sleazy liars, both of them.

Why??? What does releasing tax returns tell you? It is not a requirement...

Is it just a “Look what I did...Will you do the same?” kinda game???

If Trump is currently being audited by the IRS, his tax attorneys are telling him, “NO, DON’T RELEASE ANYTHING”!

None of them are obliged to release bupkis.

Cruz and Rubio need to release all of their return before demanding anything from Trump.

Cruz should also unseal his immigration information.

Where there's smoke there's fire.

Mister trump declines to release his taxes for some good (meaning bad) reasons.

Do the Corleones figure into this?

One wonders.

If he is being audited then he cannot legally release anything

BS
IRS already said that is false

Perhaps his returns show donations to Planned Parenthood
Trump said “It’s possible”

I can't believe these dumb bastards released their returns.

Even the summary 1040.

It will now be fodder for the MSM and Dims through the end of 2016 and beyond.

Only stupid people release their tax returns in a campaign.

I for one would like to see Trumps college transcripts. He claims he made really, really, really good grades.

Who cares, not me. I couldn’t care less if he is even broke as a church mouse. I’m not voting because of his wealth anyway. I’m voting for him because he is a fighter. Something sorely lacking in the Republican Party, and especially the GOPe.

IRS gave a general statement about tax returns, then an IRS guy publicly stated he wouldn't recommend releasing forms if he's under an audit.
