Release those tax returns, Trumpf

[kaz]

Funny how the same libs calling for Trump to release his tax returns, which he has no legal obligation to do, are not demanding Obama release the court-ordered documents identifying where his administration released so many illegals into the US population, when he is legally bound to do but refuses to do so.

'Nuff said....

Or more directly they are not calling for Hillary to release any details on her speeches or Wall Street funding

I suppose we're all supposed to be wounded to the core at being put on permanent ignore?

Bye, Felicia.

So we can see how much you've received from dealings with Putin and his shell corps.

"Mr. Lauria brokered a $50 million investment in Trump SoHo and three other Bayrock projects by an Icelandic firm preferred by wealthy Russians “in favor with” President Vladimir V. Putin, according to a lawsuit against Bayrock by one of its former executives. The Icelandic company, FL Group, was identified in a Bayrock investor presentation as a “strategic partner,” along with Alexander Mashkevich, a billionaire once charged in a corruption case involving fees paid by a Belgian company seeking business in Kazakhstan; that case was settled with no admission of guilt."

Another suit alleged the project "occasionally received unexplained infusions of cash from accounts in Kazakhstan and Russia."

Read both articles: After his bankruptcy and business failures roughly a decade ago Trump has had an increasingly difficult time finding sources of capital for new investments. As I noted above, Trump has been blackballed by all major US banks with the exception of Deutschebank, which is of course a foreign bank with a major US presence. He has steadied and rebuilt his financial empire with a heavy reliance on capital from Russia. At a minimum the Trump organization is receiving lots of investment capital from people close to Vladimir Putin.

Then there's Paul Manafort, Trump's nominal 'campaign chair' who now functions as campaign manager and top advisor. Manafort spent most of the last decade as top campaign and communications advisor for Viktor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian Ukrainian Prime Minister and then President whose ouster in 2014 led to the on-going crisis and proxy war in Ukraine. Yanukovych was and remains a close Putin ally. Manafort is running Trump's campaign.

Over the course of the last year, Putin has aligned all Russian state controlled media behind Trump. As Frank Foer explains here, this fits a pattern with how Putin has sought to prop up rightist/nationalist politicians across Europe, often with direct or covert infusions of money. In some cases this is because they support Russia-backed policies; in others it is simply because they sow discord in Western aligned states. Of course, Trump has repeatedly praised Putin, not only in the abstract but often for the authoritarian policies and patterns of government which have most soured his reputation around the world.

To put this all into perspective, if Vladimir Putin were simply the CEO of a major American corporation and there was this much money flowing in Trump's direction, combined withthis much solicitousness of Putin's policy agenda, it would set off alarm bells galore. That is not hyperbole or exaggeration. And yet Putin is not the CEO of an American corporation. He's the autocrat who rules a foreign state, with an increasingly hostile posture towards the United States and a substantial stockpile of nuclear weapons. The stakes involved in finding out 'what's going on' as Trump might put it are quite a bit higher.

There is something between a non-trivial and a substantial amount of circumstantial evidence for a financial relationship between Trump and Putin or a non-tacit alliance between the two men. Even if you draw no adverse conclusions, Trump's financial empire is heavily leveraged and has a deep reliance on capital infusions from oligarchs and other sources of wealth aligned with Putin. That's simply not something that can be waved off or ignored.

Refute away, amateurs.

Permanent Ignore

Then you won't hear me call you a d*ckhead

So much for rat tolerance and the big pantsuit tent.

Trump has nothing to gain from releasing his taxes just as Hillary has nothing to gain from releasing the Clinton Foundation donor list.

The donor list has been released

 

[g5000]

Trump has nothing to gain from releasing his taxes just as Hillary has nothing to gain from releasing the Clinton Foundation donor list.

Actually, the Clinton Foundation has released their donor list.

And Trump is on it. He gave at least six figures to them. His wife also donated.

Donald Trump Donated More to Clintons Than Veterans

Yes, it has. So does the list concern you at all? All the governments that gave her millions including Saudi Arabia and others with direct interest in her benevolence?

It doesn't, does it?

Trump is scared to death his Chumps will see his tax returns.

 

[Siete]

Yeah Newt, we're gonna need to see those

 

[AnCap'n_Murica]

Trump is scared to death his Chumps will see his tax returns.

I believe they will reveal, among other things, that he's not as rich as he portrays himself to be.

They will reveal his financial support of Democratic and liberal organizations.

No doubt whatsoever.

Well, if so, that should please you, right?

Where are the mods when this isn't put in the conspiracy forum?

George Will is a water boy for the neocons, who have thrown in with the Clinton camp. No surprise he has donned the tin foil.

Donor List

The Donald's taxes? No. Why? Trump told us why...

“Mitt Romney didn’t want to give his tax returns. He fought like crazy. Then Harry Reid lied, told a total lie in the Senate, a vicious lie that was untrue. And then Mitt Romney, very, very late, decided to give his tax returns. Now, remember this, I’m under audit. It’s a routine audit. Nobody would do that while they’re under audit and everybody understands that. But let me tell you, he gave those tax returns and they were absolutely fine. He was destroyed. They went through his returns, which were peanuts compared to what I have. You saw the stacks of paper. He gave his returns, and they found little items, little items in those returns that were nothing.”

I certainly know what a neocons is, who their apologists are, and George Will is near the top of that list.

That he is helping Hillary is not even a point of doubt.
