Romney: Trump's refusal to release tax returns is 'disqualifying'
Washington Examiner ^ | 5/11/16 | GABBY MORRONGIELLO

Posted on 05/11/2016 2:59:49 PM PDT by Grim

Former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney blasted Donald Trump on Wednesday after his successor hinted that it is unlikely he will release his tax returns before the November election.

"It is disqualifying for a modern-day presidential nominee to refuse to release tax returns to the voters, especially one who has not been subject to public scrutiny in either military or public service," Romney wrote in Facebook post.

"There is only one logical explanation for Mr. Trump's refusal to release his returns," he wrote Wednesday. "There is a bombshell in them. Given Mr. Trump's equanimity with other flaws in his history, we can only assume it's a bombshell of unusual size."

Sorry Mitt...you are talking about the guy who is going to set the absolute record for the most GOP voters in a Presidential Primary in the entire history of the United States.

He will give what is necessary...but it will not be you driving or defining it.

;’) When Mitt sez something, the first thought is, “how amazing — a talking hairdo!”

Of course there’s a bombshell in the Trump tax returns. He is probably paying little or no taxes.

All that depreciation on those big high rise buildings will neutralize a lot of otherwise taxable income.

I wouldn’t release them either. He just needs to pretend that Tax Returns are almost the same thing as E-mail.

Trump is a billionaire but it’s a moving target and an ego thing. Like a farmer with 1,000’s acre on paper. Trump has some great properties if he wanted to divest (not fire sale)he would net out well.

Its time for Mitt to GO AWAY. I am so sick of this. The Bushes are the same way. They need to go the F away too.

I stay with my statement.

Of course Trump is very wealthy, but I don't think he's a billionaire...

Besides that...a tax return won't tell you or me...if he's a billionaire.

Just release the info...and move on.

Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan have cooked a deal to include a special provision in the Puerto Rico bailout bill that ensures Bain Capital gets paid back . . in full. Mitt might not get that if Trump is elected.

This is dirtier and dirtier and dirtier.

“...continuous audit for decades...”.

You have two choices here: either Trump is lying about being audited continuously, or there is something on his returns that isn’t “right”.

The IRS has a policy not to audit anyone for more than 3 consecutive years UNLESS they find something wrong on those returns. So, as I said, Trump is lying about the audits, or the IRS is finding things wrong on his returns.

Hey Willard, Trump not releasing tax returns, is that a crime? The hag, his opponent, is a felonious criminal just in wait of prosecution and justice, is she qualified?

It’s very simple. If HRC makes an issue out of it, demand the release of HRC’s, Bill’s, the Clinton Foundation’s, her speeches that she got $250K a pop for, her complete medicals, Bill’s complete medicals, her e-mails, her emails to her IT guy, we are just getting started .... she’ll shut up about Trump quickly.

Romney should be even handed and not just pick on Trump who has a better record in government service than Romney has.
