Which do you care about most:

1. The full tax return of a Senator earning $174,000 a year and commuting between Washington D.C. and Vermont

2 The connections between the Clinton Foundation and donations from foreign nations when Hillary was Secretary of State

3. The transcripts of Hillary's $200,000 a pop speeches to the likes of Goldman Sachs?

You may choose more than one. You may also add your own categories. I invite you to elaborate, if you wish.

It's OK with me if she doesn't release the transcripts... that refusal looks much worse than the (possibly doctored) transcripts would be.

#2 is so damning corrupt!

or give a more detailed reason as to why he can't. I myself am still going back and forth with the IRS about my 2014 taxes, something like that might be the case.

As for the transcripts, I don't need to see them, because the fact that Hillary won't release them tells me all I need to know.

on his taxes. However, I can't think of a scenario in which that would make him favor one or more plutocrats over the 90%.

well, then considering that equation, 2 wins priority.

2 and 3 still trump 1 because they determine integrity but also ones ability to govern fairly.

1 has nothing to do with how someone would govern really.

we need to use neuroimaging to identify them and prevent them from getting jobs where they can hurt a lot of people.

We prevent new NPDs from being created by giving every child a secure low anxiety home - because its fear and anxiety as a child that creates NPD which is incurable.

I suspect Bernie's tax returns will be a big fat nothingburger. The whole "where are Bernie's taxes?" shtick smells like an attempt to pre-emptively smear Bernie before the Clinton's names crop up in the Panama papers.
