STUPOR STUPID your are IGNORANT and it must be you were BORN that way !!!!

Candidates Are Not Legally Required to Release Tax Returns

No. There is no legal requirement of any kind that presidential candidates release tax returns from any year. Indeed, there is a strict, strong constitutional right to privacy for all tax returns. Thus, tax returns can be released by an individual taxpayer, but cannot released by the IRS to the public. However, one Senator has proposed legislation requiring presidential candidates to release tax returns.

Despite the lack of legal requirement, for the last thirty years, almost all presidential and vice presidential candidates have released reams of their personal tax returns. Of 34 past presidential and vice presidential candidates, only seven — Brown, Buchanan, Huckabee, Forbes, Giuliani, Lugar, Nader — declined to release personal tax returns. Hillary Clinton has released her tax returns for years 2007 to 2014 showing that the Clintons paid more than $43 million in taxes over that period. For his part, Donald Trump has said that the tax rate he pays is “none of your business” and “I fight very hard to pay as little tax as possible.”

Are Presidential Candidates Legally Required to Reveal Any Financial Information?

Yes! Presidential candidates are legally required to file a “Personal Financial Disclosure” with the Federal Election Commission. But personal tax returns reveal different and important information, such as taxes paid and tax rate, deductions and credits claimed, charitable donations, debts claimed, offshore assets, and so on.

Trump has filed a legally required 104-page “Personal Financial Disclosure” with the Federal Election Commission. It contains general lists of investments in more than 550 different entities, and income from hundreds of different sources. However, unlike a tax return, this form does not show a person’s annual income and is not sworn to be accurate under penalty of perjury.

It looks like Trump has been investigated for over 2 years with nothing to show for it. Is the Democrat Party able to find something that the FBI cannot? I'd be interested in knowing the answer to that.

Hello bront:

Well, it depends on where you look.. Mueller is constrained by investigating Russian interference in our election.. So, he can't investigate the failure of FEMA in Puerto Rico, but the Democrats can.. Somewhere on this site, I published a list of ALL the things the Dems CAN and most likely WILL investigate that Mueller can't..

Now, when I say CAN'T, it doesn't mean that Mueller'll turn a blind eye when his investigation turns up evidence of another crime..

Cool. You guys investigate Trump on what he eats for dinner, and Trump will investigate libs with the DOJ and the Mueller probe. Awesome. We've become a police state. Pretty nice isn't it Con? Investigate your political adversaries for years, censor half the country on social media, put armed, masked mobs in the streets to attack people and their homes. Orwell would be proud...
