Meanwhile, we have a real issue here - Romney is unwilling to release his tax returns. Why is that? What's he hiding? The problem won't go away. Drip drip drip.

Simple Way For Rmoney to Shut Reid Up... KharmaTrain Aug 2012 #26
I've said it before, I'm wondering if Rmoney's team is doctoring the returns riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #35
Doctor them all they want... Javaman Aug 2012 #39
Rmoney's returns are probably completely legal. I'm sure the IRS has already examined them riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #41
What will the IRS do? Javaman Aug 2012 #50
Can the IRS do that? Publicly expose someone's taxes? riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #55
No, all they have to say is... Javaman Aug 2012 #69
Can they even say that? riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #71
Sure they can. Javaman Aug 2012 #75
But he won't have committed tax fraud. He's submitted proper docs to the IRS riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #81
OhI see what you are saying. Well you got me there. nt Javaman Aug 2012 #97

But the IRS would have to produce the real tax returns. Can they do that? riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #95
The IRS can't release them on their own jeff47 Aug 2012 #96
I'm not trying to be a dick but where's your evidence anyone would seek such a subpoena? riderinthestorm Aug 2012 #98
The DoJ would seek one in a fraud investigation. jeff47 Aug 2012 #106
