Jane Sanders repeats Bernie Sanders’s Four Pinocchio claim that they released full tax returns

[Cali_Democrat]

Host Mark Halperin: “So, you will release how many years?”

Jane Sanders: “I don’t know. How many do you want, Mark?”

Halperin: “I think the Clintons have released eight years or even more.”

Sanders: “Well they’ve been in office all these years.”

Halperin: “Senator Sanders has been in the House and Senate –“

Sanders: “Right, and every election, we’ve released them.”

Halperin: “You’ll release the whole returns, not just a summary?”

Sanders: “We did when he ran for election. Yeah. So, I’ll release this year’s as soon as they are due, and can I have time to go home?”

Jane Sanders, the wife of Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, is the keeper of tax records in the household, according to the candidate. Yet she repeated a claim similar to her husband’s recent Four Pinocchio statement that the couple released their full tax returns over several years. (This claim earned the “fact-checkers’ trifecta,” when the three major fact-checking organizations — Washington Post Fact Checker, PolitiFact and FactCheck.org — debunk the same claim.)

We reached out to the Sanders campaign to find out whether any new tax records have been released in the past week, but did not receive a response. The Sanders campaign had told The Washington Post on April 4, 2016, that it has not released other tax returns prior to the 2014 tax summary it released in 2015. We have not found any indication that the campaign has released any new tax returns since then, or that the Sanderses released full tax returns “every election.”

1. Didn't she say they used TurboTax?

Seems they are trying to drag this out past NY. We know he didn't pay much in taxes. I make a third less than he does and paid almost twice as high of a percentage. I'm willing to bet I also gave more to charity. Then again, I'm realizing he believes his existence and time alone should be considered charitable giving.

8. They wouldn't even need Turbo Tax!

They can fill out a one-page paper, send it to the IRS and the IRS will release multiple years worth of full tax returns.

There has to be a reason for these lies

3. We all know you won't believe them when you get them anyway.

By the way, where are those transcripts?

4. Welcome to DU. nt

6. Where are the transcripts? $675,000 worth of them are missing!

That's about three times Sanders net worth. Maybe he's hiding some contributions from Qatar or Saudi Arabia?

10. Releasing tax returns is a standard that has been followed by candidates going back decades.

Transcripts for speeches?

Not so much.....
