Source: Huffington Post

Vice President Joe Biden on Wednesday evening had a simple question for President Donald Trump: “What are you hiding?”

Biden shared a link to a story about Trump winning a legal ruling in his ongoing battle over disclosure of his tax returns.

New York prosecutors had been seeking those documents via subpoena and had won a previous decision. However, a federal appeals court ruled that the president would not have to turn those documents over while the previous decision is under appeal.

Biden asked why Trump ― who has repeatedly promised to release his returns ― is working so hard to keep them hidden

And isn't it interesting how many times courts have told him to turn the things over...and then this one time he doesn't have to...so kind of how many to 1?

In the meantime, let's use Trump's own scam against him.

could have mitigated that "harm" within the past 4 years, but there's probably such widespread corruption there's no mitigating it at all.

needs to hammer Benedict Donald regarding the so called "audit" of his returns. Demand the production of the "audit" correspondence and production of the returns that would not be subject to any such audit (if one actually existed, which we all know is probably not the case). Last I checked, the IRS generally reviews only the past 3 years for civil and 7 years for criminal (RICO may be an exception).

Even his supporters know he's lying. They've simply made up a reason to excuse it. I have friends who told me 4 yrs ago "He said he'd release them _____". Well, "______" would come and go and still nothing. So they came up with "Well, its not required under law".

1. Evidence to support bank fraud?

2. Evidence to support money laundering?

3. Evidence to indicate that tRUMP is merely the name on a company (tRUMP Organization), much like the tRUMP Towers...and that tRUMP Organization is owned and controlled by say a Russian or Putin beard or organized crime...

...they'll show that with Himalayan debt load, he actually has no more money (perhaps even less) than he inherited 29 years ago. A period over which the S&P went up tenfold.
Meaning he could have done nothing and become a multibillionaire!
And that doesn't count the stipends & "loans" from data the prior 21 years.

in a Rape case where said sample would exonerate him...if he's innocent. He is actually fighting to not have to provide it.

You know what Trump is hiding.

Namely, that he's a broke-ass motherfucker and doesn't want anyone to know it.

This shit is what we in the security business call "exploitable." And the bad part of that is, this isn't a hypothetical. Trump is in debt to Putin up to his eye shadow; Putin could destroy Trump in a second by leaking his financial records, and both of them know it.
