Neither he or anyone else has said that there was a "legal precedent" that compels Presidential candidates to release their tax returns. But the precedent is that every President and/or Presidential candidate for at least the past 40 years have released their tax returns with the exception of one. A Republican of course. Gerald Ford released a 'tax summary' rather then his actual return. And the reason for this is transparency. Not to check for criminality. Tax returns offer valuable details. Such as the effective tax rate paid, the types of taxes paid, charitable contributions as well as a more detailed picture of assets, both domestic and foreign so that clearer picture can emerge of where a candidate's interests may lie.
Trump has said he hasn’t released his taxes because he is being audited. He also claimed that he "released the most extensive financial review of anybody in the history of politics. … You don't learn much in a tax return," PolitiFact rated that claim as being "false". And yes, the President and Vice President are audited each year. Last month there was a report of whistle blower in the IRS allegedly claiming someone in administration has interfered with the audit. And also yes, most people wouldn't volunteer to publicly release their tax returns. But then again most people don't choose to run for President either.
And WITH that again it is in his VERY right NOT to disclose it. He is a Troll and will go against MOST if not all Status Quo within his legal rights. You can fault him all you want but it does NOT change the "FACTS"
As for your fair political points SURE I 100% agree with your statements of gaining information. BUT again if Trump does not want to let it go THAT is his right to do so and no one should force that on him without probable cause.
1) Trump is FACTUAL in he is being Audited (Current, as by the constitution the POTUS and VP are to be audited)
2) Trump again trolling who the heck knows when PRIOR Trump is being audited. could be 2016 could be 1970. This is just a troll against the Status quo as a supporter even I am NOT ignorant to know the game he is playing.
3) As for learning about Taxes again Troll statement. But in fairness your Taxes is about the same business as my taxes are to you. Nothing.
As for WB claim.... Here is the issue with that..... IRS has it and has been Auditing him now.... if there is a criminal referral it should be at the FBI going to the DOJ. if the DOJ falls on the OLC opinion the PROCESS IS MOOT anyways. So whats the point of getting worked up? You got the impeachment inquiry already?
You have 2 options.
Try to impeach him likely wont happen in the Senate
Get a Viable Democrat candidate and just beat him in 2020.
I highly doubt his Taxes will swing the 2020 Voters.
As for back on Jr and his wife....... ALL political parties are doing books common...... Nikki Haley, John Bolton to Trumps rape accuser and a bunch more... They want to sell books...... You want to go there and boo them dont buy their books.... jeezus.......
