In reply to the discussion: 'Sooner than later:' Bernie Sanders offers no clear timeline for release of his tax returns [View all]MineralMan
(146,189 posts)39. Well, I'm sure he understands that it's an issue for Democratic voters.
That's one of the reasons it's so puzzling that he hasn't released them. His tax filings are going to be thorn in his side on a regular basis until he does make them public. He knows that, so why haven't we seen them yet?
There's something in them he'd rather not expose to public view. I have no idea what it is. But there's no other reason that makes any sense. Bottom line: they're hurting him now. The longer he waits, the more anything embarrassing will hurt him later.
"Sooner rather than later?" Sooner is here, and has already passed, it seems to me.

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.
