BREAKING-Paul Managort says Trump WILL NOT release tax returns

[brooklynite]

[treestar]

1. everyone else does

so this should be big news to the media. They should wonder 24/7 what might be in them. Why Donald should be an exception to every other presidential candidate. Not holding my breath though.

[Person 2713]

35. He will be our supreme leader he doesn't have to be like everyone else

[mucifer]

2. He's always said that. How is that breaking?

[Zambero]

9. He still could but he refuses

So why hasn't he? Every other candidate for POTUS eventually did. People need to be reminded. Daily.

[MoonRiver]

13. Well, actually they've been saying "after the audit" he'd release them.

Just one more blatant lie exposed.

[PearliePoo2]

3. Of course not. He was never going to.

And he'll get away with it too. The idiots voting for him DON'T CARE.
Like he said, he could shoot someone and his "fans" would still vote for him.

[piechartking]

16. I have to believe that there's not that many idiots though

This will matter to a lot of people who may be on the fence.

[PearliePoo2]

18. Good point. Man, I hope you're right. (matters to fence-sitters)

This needs to be shouted 24/7. "WHAT'S HE HIDING??"

[livetohike]

4. "What is he hiding"? Would make a good convention

chant. Wonder how quick signs can be made? Anytime a speaker mentions Trump the call/response would be: What is he hiding?

[sarae]

17. yessss

I like this idea. #ShadyDonald #CreepyDonald (just testing out names here...)

#TaintedTrump <----that sounds so wrong

Maybe, "Shady Donald! What is he hiding?"

[rjsquirrel]

27. Comrade Donald

[sarae]

37. simple, but straight to the point.

I like it!

[LiberalFighter]

5. Then that indicates he doesn't pay taxes and doesn't give to charities.

[B Calm]

6. He don't pay taxes, the guy is broke.

[Zambero]

7. The Clinton campaign needs to address this front and center

Again, Again, and Again.
And in stark contrast, also note that HRC has released her tax returns going back many years
Who is and who isn't being transparent? Or trustworthy? Or has much to hide?

[JaneQPublic]

23. Who can we get to hack his tax records?

I'm kidding, but still it would be a change of pace to see the Repugs' data hacked or their offices broken into for once.

[RandiFan1290]

40. If the media received hacked RNC info they would refuse to release it.

If the Democrats tried to use it they would be attacked for aiding the crime.

It always seems to be different for them.

[JaneQPublic]

41. Probably so. But even if they did release it...

it's doubtful he would lose any support.

His supporters are so rabid for a GOP win and so hypocritical about it that the same ones calling Bernie a Commie would look the other way if tax records and emails proved Trump and Putin were connected at the hip.

[sufrommich]

8. And the media will let him get away with it. nt

[COLGATE4]

28. Yep. And that's the sad bottom line.

But they're breathlessly awaiting the next shiny Hillary meme to jump on - let's see if Bill's "paternalistic" speech last night is it.

[Else You Are Mad]

31. Indeed.

They are afraid they will lose access to Trump, so they won't ask anything too negative.

[sufrommich]

32. I'll bet he decides he's not doing debates either. nt

[Else You Are Mad]

34. I have thought so for a long time now.

My bet is that he will either say: "I am winning too bigly against Hillary, so why should I waste my time debating" and/or "the network airing it didn't agree to my negotiated terms so I am not going to agree until the network offers me $X million."

I wouldn't be surprised if he backs down from that but makes the networks agree to no hardball questions.

[JustAnotherGen]

10. George Will was right

Now I wonder - is Mr. Will right about the REASON(s) why Trump won't?

I wonder just how much influence Mr. Putin and Russian Billionaires have on this man?

[onehandle]

11. Thus was born a thousand campaign and SuperPAC commercials.

This commercial is still my favorite so far:

[Cha]

12. Ah these pols who won't release their tax returns.. What's UP with that?

[workinclasszero]

14. Doesn't want to reveal his ties to russian mobsters

I'm sure the republicans will form a committee ASAP to investigate this outrage and hate radio will be on it 24/7/365.



Could you imagine the OUTRAGE if Hillary refused to release her tax info? OMG it would be all you would hear on CNNMSNBCABCCBSFOX...all day, everyday!

[sarae]

20. I know!

Where are the investigations upon investigations?

Imagine the outrage if China was found to have broken into the RNC servers and was releasing damaging emails every week.

Just imagine!!! We'd never hear the end of it. They'd investigate it for upwards of 8 years.

[workinclasszero]

29. This is one of the big reasons I hate republicans!

They are the worlds biggest HYPOCRITES!

If Hillary refused to reveal her tax info the republican would explode in outrage! There would be 20 committees formed to investigate it and all you would hear on hate radio would be that story from now till the end of time!

And the MSM would join in as well.

But Trump the republican does it...nothing...NOTHING!!!!!!!

15. Trumps afraid of the 'Public Audits', after all the IRS offers a cash reward for any fraud.

19. Donald Trump is up to his neck in Russian payola

Donald Trump is not going to let you see where his money is really coming from.

Donald Trump will make the US into a Russian Satellite State.

[workinclasszero]

43. "Donald Trump will make the US into a Russian Satellite State."

Trump will just destroy NATO for his pal Putin then turn a blind eye while the Russian strongman reclaims parts of their former empire.

And after that well, the sky's the limit I guess.

Sorry Europe, enjoy your new masters I guess.

[UCmeNdc]

21. Paul Manafort is a paid Russian Agent also

22. Trump and Putin: bunglars extraordinaire.

QUICK! Someone ask Reince Priebus what he thinks about this. That should be fun.

[Peacetrain]

24. Absolutely something rotten in Denmark there!!

[CanonRay]

25. I always assumed he would never do it

under any circumstances.

[Tatiana]

26. A Presidential candidate that won't release his/her tax returns is unfit to lead.

We should repeat that over and over again.

Release your tax returns, Mr. Trump.

Of course, we know he doesn't want to reveal his Russian connection.

[Thrill]

30. The media has been wimps on this

.

[workinclasszero]

36. No kidding the MSM is horrible in this country

Check this though from ABC...

[tonyt53]

33. Trump said his returns were nobody's business. His supporters and media are letting him slide.

There needs to be a big time push about those returns, but it needs to come after Labor Day. Americans have a very short attention span and even shorter memory.

[cyberswede]

38. Dems need to hit him hard on that. Relentlessly.

He's clearly hiding something. Plus, he's such a pompous ass - he needs to be made uncomfortable.

[PearliePoo2]

39. brooklynite, do you have a link to Manafort saying this?

an audio or video maybe?

[Lord Magus]

42. Somebody at the IRS needs to release them for him.

I honestly don't fucking care how illegal that is. This is too important.

[workinclasszero]

44. No shit

This impacts national security!

That asshole Trump receives national security briefings now and he has ties to Russia and a possible Russian agent as his campaign head!

What the actual *uck!?

[Bernardo de La Paz]

45. Doesn't matter. Keep up the pressure.

Perhaps Trump never intended to and lied about "an IRS audit". But he can't get away with this. Trump is hiding something there.

[Blue Idaho]

46. And this surprises no one.

Next he'll announce he won't participate in any presidential debates. Trump can only really exist inside the right wing echo chamber. Expose him the the bright sunlight of truth and he would burst into flames.

[world wide wally]

47. And people trust him?

Duh

[4lbs]

48. Instead of the Bernie or Bust crowd chanting "Release the transcipts" how about

them start saying "Release your taxes!" to Donald Trump.

Turn your disappointment into constructive work.

[glennward]

49. The HRC campaign should be making much more out of this and link it to possible exposure of

Trumps ties to Russia. Yes, it's speculation but we need to begin to fight like they do. They put out lies and innuendo knowing full well what they are and the lies and innuendo sticks. They make shit up.

I hope this is used in prime time...or at least portions of it.
