Hillary said tonight that she will release her tax records "before the nomination"
Lets hold her to that -- AND the Clinton library donor list.

1. She's always said she'd release them
The Clinton library donor list is not hers to release, though.

People donate to it with the expectation that their contribution isn't made public. Nobody has a right to know what non-profits you donate to. The same is true for donors to the library.

8. Thanks, but I would like to see the records and full schedules, not just a 1040 and Schedule C.
:hi:

3. So, does this mean if she loses TX and OH she will still release
the returns? I don't think so.

4. The nomination takes place at the convention -
Edited on Tue Feb-26-08 10:56 PM by Divernan
So, like 5 minutes before she accepts the nomination, her staff puts one copy in the mail. Voila! She released it before the nomination. Or maybe it depends on your definition of "release".

And since she knows by now that she's not getting the nomination, she can take some small comfort in not releasing the information as to the sources of Bill's vast income.

9. They dogged her about it ans she agreed. The press won't let this go
After she loaned her campaign $5mm -- all bets are off and the public has rights to demand to know where that $5mm came from.

11. She'll keep lying about it until she's out, then she'll never do it.
14 months of the refusing to produce something that she could produce in 30 minutes.

Their CPA has a file, and that file has multiple copies of the filed return. They wouldn't even have to copy it. They would just pluck one out and release it.

But she's never going to do that.
