In the last post we saw why Trump is subject to a yearly audit. He has been the subject of 100 lawsuits and other disputes regarding his taxes.

Yet he says his tax returns are none of our business. Can you imagine if Hillary Clinton said this? If she were being audited for just one year, let alone every single year going back to the mid 1980s?
It's not that Trump believes you can learn nothing from a politician's taxes. After all, he famously criticized Mitt Romney for being reluctant to release his own tax returns in 2012.
We have since come full circle as Mitt Romney is now demanding Trump release his own returns and that his refusal to do so is disqualifying. For my part I agree with both of them.
Meanwhile Trump is demanding to see Chris Christie's returns-and any other VP candidate.
"Candidates hoping to earn a spot as Donald Trump’s running mate are reportedly expected to submit their tax returns to the campaign, even though the presumptive GOP nominee has said he has no immediate plans to make his own taxes public."
"NBC's Katy Tur reported Wednesday that all vice presidential hopefuls would be required to submit their returns as a standard part of the vetting process. Citing an anonymous source within the Trump campaign, Tur also reported there would be no “litmus test” for prospective candidates on any specific issue. Instead, their comprehensive beliefs and personal backgrounds would be taken into consideration, she said."
"When pressed about whether VP candidates would have to hand over their taxes, former presidential candidate Ben Carson, who assisted with Trump’s search, told MSNBC's Chuck Todd on Tuesday that the campaign was following “normal” procedure."
“I would say that the normal vetting procedures would be under way, all the things that are normally asked for,” Carson said. “Nothing outside the normal.”
"Trump's own announcement that he may not release his tax returns during the campaign breaks with decades of historical precedent for presidential candidates. He promised to make his taxes available as soon as as the IRS completes a “routine audit” of his finances."
"There is no legal requirement preventing Trump from releasing the returns while he is being audited, and embattled former President Richard Nixon made his public while under audit in the midst of the Watergate investigation."

Donald Trump, less transparent than Richard Nixon. A much bigger tax cheat than Richard Nixon.
And he calls Hillary crooked? More like Crooked Donald
