Like I have said in previous posts releasing them is the best way to stop all the speculation, not doing so only ads fuel to the fire. You may well be correct, @Manwon Lender. But it is ALSO possible that Trump is being mischievous, and deliberately adding fuel to the fire, in the hope that when his returns ARE revealed, they show NOTHING, and the Democrats have egg all over their face. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Mueller and his team never saw President Trumps Tax returns. So no matter what was found during the investigation his Tax returns could have new information that hasn't been discovered. President Trump has openly stated he had no business deals in Russia prior to his election, if this is true then his Tax returns would prove it. So please don't reference the Mueller investigation every time President Trumps Tax returns are mentioned, they are a separate issue. But you knew that right? or maybe I need to break it down in smaller pieces for you. What you don't get is the Left has decided to destroy Trump. No matter what. They HAVE to...otherwise they fear He will destroy Their Way of Life...i.e. corruption and their own personal gravy train. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's think about that a moment, shall we? He's a billionaire businessman in NYC. There isn't a single member of THAT club that wouldn't have examples of shady dealings and cut corners that could be used by enemies to create a huge scandal that had nothing to do with his election or his choices in policies. Rational, unbiased people understand this. Also, he has a record of being audited regularly as most businessmen in that situation do. If he had a history of criminal activity, don't you imagine he'd have been busted long before now? If not, then why do you suppose he wouldn't have been charged by now? Do you honestly believe that a billionaire in NYC wouldn't have his taxes and businesses analyzed regularly? The bottom line is that the man has been investigated, analyzed and probed more than any other president in history - INCLUDING Bill Clinton. He's tired of the treatment and feels he doesn't owe it to his deadly enemies to help them build another sham case against him. And here's the important part: HIS SUPPORTERS AGREE. If his polling isn't going to suffer, he'd be a fool to give his enemies more ammo. The truly crazy stuff is right ahead. When the Left, especially Obama's former co-conspirators begin to realize what Durham is homing in on, the media is going to become hysterically frantic. "Grave Constitutional Crisis" "False Flag" "Attempted Coup" We're going to be treated to stories you can't even imagine but the bottom line will be whether real evidence is found to prove what they did. They being Clapper, Brennan, Comey and a laundry list of subordinates under Obama's regime. Here's the thing... even if it all gets covered over by jury nullification in DC, there will still be a permanent record of the charges and the evidence that led to the charges and they will never be able to change the mind of half the country. Where America goes from there is a choice we all have to make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then we look into obstruction of justice where there was no evidence of a crime, then we get a secret whistleblower report that leads to a Star Chamber style Impeachment Inquiry.

Let me get this straight, because he is a Billionaire shady dealings and cut corners are considered acceptable ways of doing business. Then you say that rational, unbiased people also accept this behavior, because this is common among Billionaires. Well as the President of the United States he must maintain a transparency that allows scrutiny of his back ground. Tax returns are part of that, he is the first President in 40 years who hasn't released his returns. President Trump claims he had no Business dealings with Russia prior to running for and being elected President. This is an important statement that his Tax returns could prove or disprove. This has nothing to do with Mueller, or anything else if his statement was true the returns can only vindicate him. Last it is not ok for the President or anyone else elected to office to hide their past shady business dealings. This only shows a pattern of possible illegal behavior, which continues to go on as we speak. Those returns will be released sooner or later, whether with his approval or they will be leaked. I personally think there is more there than just shady dealings and for me that is why they important. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But all of that changed when Trump took an issue that was smoldering on the back burner and made it his own personal vendetta...and that was Obama's Birth Certificate. The reason Obama was forced to produce a birth certificate is because of Trump...and they have hated him for that ever since.

It's very obvious that you beleive strongly that President Trump is the perfect man for the job. But there is more to him than perfection, he has skeletons in his closet like everyone has. But I beleive there is more to it than just that, in my opinion he has been abusing his power as President, and sooner or later damage control isn't going to prevent that exposure. I beleive there is more to his Tax returns than just the fact he is a Billionaire, and all the sex scandals are not just made up fiction. I am certain we will never agree on this subject, and that's ok, because I beleive you will find out he has lied to you just like the others you mentioned.

Surely you have to request their sequestration through a COURT, and provide evidence as to their relevance to an investigation, before the court will agree to issue a subpoena ? Am I right in thinking this ? Because if I am, then .. if the Democrats HAD any evidence of a prior conspiracy between Trump and Putin... by all means let them bring this before the court and subpoena his tax records back to the beginning of time itself. But if they do NOT have corroboration, then on what basis are they issuing (or trying to issue) the subpoena ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
