Hillary Clinton won't release her tax return...

[madeline_con]

unless she gets the Dem nomination? (According to Countdown with Olberman)

This does not sit well with me. It sounds like she has something she wants to hide.

1. unsure of the legalities

but, it would seem that if she is willing to later, there should be no barrier to doing so now.

2. It's with the 8 years of Illinois Senate records Obama says he never kept.

This does not sit well with me. It sounds like he has something he wants to hide.

3. Obama has not released his tax return - what is the pretend big deal this time?

Obama has not released his tax return - what is the pretend big deal this time?
Obama has not released "his tax return" - he only released the summary page 1040 - but none of the

various Schedules and attachments that are legally part of the tax return


So Obama has released only the 2006 Form 1040 one page summary (both sides of the page of course) from his tax return and not the attachments which provide detail about income and spending.

The campaign released a sheet of paper that it asserts reflects the data in the unreleased portions of the tax return - but Obama refuses to allow anyone to verify the data. But assertions are not a tax return.

And the Senate required disclosure form leaves who wondering about what - what is the slime that is being thown at Clinton - or is it the GOP's we may find something if we have more paper?

When Obama releases his total return I am sure Clinton will release hers.

Until then you have a sheet of paper re tax return from Obama - and a Senate disclosure form from both. - plus the 1040 one page summary from Obama - big whoop!

4. WHY. If she's willing to do it later then how is she going to hide shit. ROFL!!!

What a dumb post.

[Whisp]

6. I think you missed the gist.

if whatever she is hiding is revealed Now, she may not get the presidency.
after she is elected, she will tell us to fuck off, like bush does.

7. Nah I'm not feeling it. Has Obama released his I'd love to know. She's been running

for years now, I'm sure her shit is clean.

[madeline_con]

14. Obama was the one who suggested they BOTH reveal. n/t

[madeline_con]

12. Why wouldn't she go ahead and show all now?

Why the "wait and see if I get nominated" bullshit?

[KittyWampus]

16. you mean after she gets the nomination? Her husband did the same, btw. You don't care about Open Gvt

actually, you just expose yourself as a Clinton partisan, yet again.

5. Links to her 2005 & 2006 Senate finaicial disclosure reports

2005- http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/congress/fin_dis/2005/c001041.pdf

2006 - http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/politics/congress/fin_dis/2006/c001041.pdf

8. so how do you explain her unwillingness to release the most

current one?

Until after she is assured she is the nom?


This is an important question.

Your links to the older financial disclosures is much closer to answering the IP than most of the other posts here, but still avoids answering the uncomfortable question.

peace~

9. That appears to be the latest info avail. I would imagine the 2007 one is due in April

Here's Obama's

10. The 2007 return? She probbly hasn't filed the return yet.

I haven't filed my 2007 return yet.

[madeline_con]

13. She didn't cite that as the reason.

She said she won't unless she gets the nomination.

[madeline_con]

11. It's tax time 2008 now

Why not release the info? :shrug:

[dsc]

24. It is tax time 2007 in April, not now

If she owes money, and she likely would, she probably hasn't filed yet.

[madeline_con]

25. She didn't say she'd show as soon as she files....

she said when she gets the nomination. BIG diff, IMO.

15. I know damn well the clintons have

a shitload to hide..that's just one of them.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

18. Do BO supporters all have their own ...

[Cha]

20. No is the answer to your disingenous

question. If you don't know the clintons by now..then you haven't been paying attention.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

21. Well excuse me if I like info and facts to back up

vague defamatory statements. You know what really creeps me out about some of you BO'rs? It's all too extreme! Love/Hate ... no middle ground. There's something emotionally off-balance.

[madeline_con]

23. This was on Olbermann's show..

not a "vague defamatory statement."
He said Obama suggested they reveal, Clinton said no.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

26. Yes, I know, I watched it. My response was to a poster,

NOT the OP.

17. Hillary is ashamed and embarrassed to let the public see their returns

Because she knows it will reveal all their seedy, shady business dealings, and the fabulous wealth they've made while poverty has worsened in America.

[Thrill]

19. She doesn't want you to follow the money trail. Its not pretty

She'll do it after the nomination, because then Dems no longer have a choice.

[Medusa]

22. Their personal fortune is estimated to be upwards of 30-35 mill

you don't make that kind of money without having something to hide
