The very fact Trump would not release his returns when every other previous presidential candidate did? That alone is a huge warning klaxon!
Even assuming (generously) he did not do anything illegal, his tax returns would still show that he's not as successful a businessman as he blovatingly brags about. IOW, proof positive that even in business he's only a minor winner at best, if not an outright loser. Since that's a big part of his image among his base, that'd prove he's blow-hard bragging is just that - bragging without substance!!
He has nothing to proof to you or anyone.
And more importantly, he chose not to releases his return and it is not against the law.
It is like when polices ask to come into your home and you refuse their request. If you have nothing to hide or not break the law, then you would allow the police to come in. No, I don't have to.
I don't, personally. Not my job to have it. All I have to go on is his track record of fraud and thievery over the years, the tidbits have been leaked out to the public through the media by the investigators, and his apparent terror at having any information about his contacts, his conduct, or his business come under scrutiny. Makes a normal person wonder what it is that sets him on edge if he's as innocent as he claims.
Exactly what "fraud and thievery" has Trump been convicted of over the years?

“Apparent” doesn’t equal facts/proof.
When has he been charged with fraud and thievery over the years?

Trump University, the Veteran's charity he started in 2016, and the children's cancer charity, for openers.
Michael Cohen has predicted a lot of what we have seen happen already, and he has made the statement several times that New York has more than enough evidence already to indict Trump. Considering his position in all of this, I believe him.
Fact, he is still a private citizen, now. What he gained while he was our president after the fact has nothing to do with what you say, if so, then executive privilege would still be there, yes?
Fact, they can also deny it.
Good for you, you understand.
Why would the IRS not come after him for all these millions of dollars, all the while ole' sleepy joe want to add THOUSANDS of new irs folks to go after people like you and me, or at least check to make sure we paid out taxes?
He's not a public figure anymore, he is a private citizen, no matter what he is given after his presidency.
He's not currently a public employee, but he's been a public figure for over 40 years.

But private now. If we use that criteria, then "whoever" is a public figure, should be asked to show everything, right? Including every congress person once they retire, all actors, including the hollywood lefties, those are all public figures.
O.K., tell us why they are still needed then? If you can provide anything other than, because he said he would. remember maddow said he had his returns and turns out trump was paying taxes....

Only those seeking positions of public trust need to be required to be vetted.
Pure political persecution. Its NONE of ANYONE'S business what anyone else's taxes look like. This is PURELY political and I hope once we retake the congress its payback time.
