The $billions are stashed at one of his many estates in the Cayman Islands.

there is nothing to get excited about, it'll only make all those foaming at the mouth over it look stupid.

Being a Senator, he's like a money machine if he ever wanted to be. He probably has relatives that are pissed of at him for not turning on the cash spigot an hooking them up. If he hasn't cashed in yet, why would he risk cheating on taxes or pulling any unethical bullshit that would show up? I'll be really surprised if anything that really stinks shows up.

not a requirement. It has been done now since the 1970's but generally most release a few years back. The rest of his pertinent financials can be found in his congressional financial disclosures, all publicly available.

Hillary's returns ARE the Clinton's returns. They released some before the 1992, more going into 1996. During Whitewater, they released more going back to those bad financial dealings. When she ran in 2008, she released more. She has been associated with the presidency either as First Lady or running since 1992 to 2000 and again 2008 until now. That is why she has released so many though they do not included all of the money connected to the Clinton Foundation.

She used the ludicrous excuse she shouldn't have to release her speech transcripts , in part, because Sanders hasn't released his taxes yet. It puts her in a bind when he releases them today.
