Showing Original Post only (View all)'Sooner than later:' Bernie Sanders offers no clear timeline for release of his tax returns [View all]
"Soon."
That is the response Sen. Bernie Sanders and his presidential campaign have repeatedly offered in response to questions about when he will release his personal tax returns.
"Sooner than later" is what Sanders told Wolf Blitzer at a CNN town hall in February, just a few days after he launched his bid for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination. Faiz Shakir, Sanders' 2020 campaign manager, told reporters about the same during a briefing last month.
Sanders has yet to release his tax returns, and his campaign has not explained the process in any more precise detail, even as Sanders has repeatedly said that there is nothing revelatory or interesting about his financial situation. But the pressure to disclose is mounting as his Democratic primary opponents begin to release their own.

It has been 1,093 days since BS first promised to release his tax returns on a debate stage in April of 2016.

By not releasing them he's encouraging people to assume something bad.

I agree with you...but, releasing his tax returns, sooner rather than later, would be advantageous.
