Christie on Trump's taxes: 'Ironic' that Clinton is pushing transparency
By Rebecca Savransky
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed Democratic front-runner Hillary Clinton for calling out Donald Trump for not yet releasing his tax returns, calling it "ironic" that Clinton was pushing for transparency.
"I find it ironic that Hillary Clinton is talking about transparency to anyone, given that she had her own email server that she used constantly and had her colleagues in the State Department use in order to avoid [Freedom of Information Act] requests and any transparency to the public," Christie said.
"So I hardly believe that Hillary Clinton is in any place to be giving a critique on transparency." Christie said Trump has made it clear he would release his tax returns once his audits are completed.
"If those audits are complete prior to the Election Day, he'll release returns," Christie said.
"If they're not, he won't."

That’s a pretty stupid thing to say. It’s hardly ironic, Hypocritical, absolutely yes, but not ironic.
good point, and based on that I would never release them. One, because you are not required to do so. Secondly, and most important, is that if the Hillary campaign already has them, and I bet they do, they won't be able to use them without Trump suing the crap out of them for having information that they should have. A real win-win situation.
Beat her like a nasty, sneaky sister-wife that stole the ice cream!
The Clinton Foundation is a fraud, to enable that family to take bribes. It must be a central issue in this campaign. It’s harder for Trump to make this case because HE gave money to the Foundation (with the expectation of “favors”?) and very difficult because HE won’t release HIS records, either.
It gives liberals the perfect retort, and lets them dodge this issue.
