Piercing Trump's Tax Deflection
You could call this whole article an open letter to Lester Holt, I suppose. But it's really directed towards anyone at all in the media, because from what I've seen so far they all are missing the chance to ask Donald Trump a painfully obvious followup question, and instead are following Trump down a rabbit hole of his own making.
Here's a quick rundown, which should be fairly self-explanatory. The basic question:
Why haven't you publicly released your tax returns, Mr. Trump?
Trump's answer, invariably, is that he's under an audit and therefore his lawyers and tax professionals have advised him not to release his tax returns publicly. Now, this may be a fantasy inside Trump's own head, since he's never even managed to make public a letter from the I.R.S. clearly stating he is being audited (which wouldn't reveal anything other than that the audit did, in fact, exist). This is where the rabbit hole begins, though, because here are the usual followup questions asked when Trump trots the audit excuse out:
But even if you're being audited, there is nothing legally stopping you from publicly releasing your tax returns -- Richard Nixon actually released his while he was also under an audit. So why not just release them anyway, Mr. Trump?
There's a second followup which also winds up down in the warren, entering through a slightly-different rabbit hole:
So when will you release these tax returns? Will you release them when the audit's over?
Trump has been asked this second one directly (multiple times), to which he smilingly responds that of course he'll release his recent tax returns, immediately after the (unverified) audit ends (at some unverified date).
Hearing either of these followups makes me want to bang my head against a wall. Maybe even a big, beautiful wall, facing south. Because both of them get bogged down in the details of the (possibly fictitious) audit, which falls right into Trump's trap. He then waffles on about how being audited is a pain and how nobody in their right mind would publicly release returns currently being questioned by the I.R.S. It allows him to run out the clock talking about audits, rather than answering the basic question at all.
So, to Lester Holt -- or to any other reporter with access to Trump -- here is the way the followup question desperately needs to be asked:
OK, fine, you say you're being audited -- but audits don't go back forever. You've said your current audit goes back to the tax year 2009. So what possible reason do you have for not releasing your 2008 tax return to the public? Why not release five years from the 2000s, so the American public can see if you are telling the truth about your wealth, your income, your tax rate, and your charitable giving? Because many are saying you are hiding something in your tax returns which contradicts your own public statements.
That is the question which should be asked of Trump, but (to date) I have never heard from any reporter. Dodge around Trump's own audit dodge, and get to the heart of the matter -- Trump is scared to release any tax return, because assumably there's something in all of them which proves he's not been honest about either his supposed business prowess or his supposed philanthropy.
Asking the question about his pre-audit tax returns ignores the whole open question of whether the audit even exists. Give Trump the benefit of the doubt, rather than wasting precious debate (or interview) time falling down the same rabbit hole all the other reporters seem powerless to avoid. Under audit? Fine. Then what about all the years previous to the years being audited? Hillary Clinton, after all, has released decades of her tax returns -- one of the most in-depth tax dumps of any candidate in history, in fact. So it is indeed possible to compare her 2008 (or 2007, or 2006, etc.) tax returns to Trump's, if he would only release them.
Without the audit to get distracted by, the question shifts back to the basic form: "Where are your tax returns, Mr. Trump?" If he even mentions the word "audit" in his answer, cut him off immediately by saying: "But I'm talking about the years before your current audit." This solves the problem, avoids the rabbit hole, and counters Trump's dodge (pick your metaphor). It gets back to the basic question of why Trump is scared to release any tax return at all.
To me, this followup question is blindingly obvious. Which is why I've been downright astonished that Trump has yet to be asked, to his face, about any tax returns previous to his claim of being under an audit. Instead, reporter after reporter goes down one of the rabbit holes and doesn't ever get a clear answer from Trump.
Lester Holt has the opportunity to rectify this mistake, once and for all. He is fully aware of the criticism which was (deservedly) heaped upon Matt Lauer, for his own dismal performance at NBC's pre-debate. Holt has a much higher bar to clear, to be blunt. Which is why I'm offering up what is, to me, the most obvious question that Trump has yet to answer. Asking Trump about prior years to the audit avoids the whole "let's fact-check Trump's audit story" red herring altogether. But, so far, nobody has bothered to ask him. So Lester Holt could hold Trump's feet to the fire while at the same time avoid the whole controversy about real-time fact checking.
As we get closer to the first debate, I will likely write another one of these articles as a plea to Lester Holt -- most likely, with questions I'd like to hear asked of both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton. But for now, I'm offering up this question to any political journalist worth the job title -- please ask the question that really needs to be asked, rather than always getting distracted. Trump is obviously hiding something -- and at the very least, he should be forced to admit this fact to the American electorate.

Iraq War question: Back in 2002, you very decisively told Shock Jock Howard Stern on air that you guessed you were for the catastrophically disastrous invasion of Iraq. Why are you lying about that now?
It works just as well for Libya.
Why wasn't Trump asked for the IRS letter of audit in the first place? Some flags should have gone up when he didn't produce one. I would call it poor journalism, but that would mean these people were actual journalists, which their not...
They're paid to give us a horse race and that's what they do.
How many lawsuits is Trump still fighting in court? I saw where USA Today found Trump was named in over 4000 legal cases over the last thirty years. That comes out to a new lawsuit every three days for three decades! Over 100 of these were for unpaid taxes that he owed.
Well, if Lester Holt won't ask this, maybe Hillary will. I fully anticipate her coming in armed with needles -- that may be one of them. She just has to say she doesn't believe he's worth what he claims and is afraid to show his taxes because it will show he's "mis-stated" his net worth and he'll start to simmer and eventually blow. Maybe not in the debate, but on twitter or his next rally -- he hates to have his wealth questioned. That's his big thing.
[4] Listen: awhile back I'd read Trump has some 3,000 lawsuits pending right now -- mostly from small business people/contractors he's stiffed. Another Trump tidbit that doesn't get enough coverage.
Just saw another Deplorable ad on Facebook from HRC campaign -- thank goodness she's doubling-down, not backing down.
https://www.facebook.com/hillaryclinton/videos/1246331922090001/
If you can't see it, it opens with a slide: Former KKK leader David Duke and the alt-right are deplorable. Then it shows Wolf Blitzer asking Pence whether David Duke is deplorable and has Pence dancing around then says he's "doesn't play the name calling game". The next slide just says: It's Not A Game., Next slide: Tolerating the Likes of David Duke is dangerous and deplorable.
Love it, love it, love it! Go Hillary!
Paula;
Great ad!! I didn't think she would back down.
A diary on DailyKos says this:
This was exactly what the Clinton campaign was looking for with her “controversial” comment. I have had the teleovision on since about 11 a.m. PDT this morning, and every show I’ve seen on both CNN and MSNBC has covered Clinton’s remarks extensively, but more importantly they have highlighted past “deplorable” statements made by Trump, and have played the :30 Clinton spot in its entirety. This is “earned media coverage” at its finest. Trump uses it to highlight his most pompous self, Clinton is using it to take a light slap on the wrist in order for the media to pivot and hammer Trump on his previous statements. Every show that I’ve seen today on either channel has showed a clearly pissed off Mike Pence trying yet again to repudiate David Duke without stooping to use Hillary’s term. Instead of Clinton getting hammered, the Trump campaign is on the defensive.

[8] apophis: I'd hoped she wouldn't and am thrilled she isn't. I don't know if this was deliberate from the get-go, or just a brilliant "save" after a potential gaffe (I wouldn't have seen it as a gaffe, but much of the media immediately did) -- whichever it was, I'll take it!
Paula;
And how about Hillary's health issue. Another well played move. Trump campaign is on the defensive.
Be sure to watch Trump on the Dr Oz Show on Thurs. when they discuss his health.
[11] Be sure to watch Trump on the Dr Oz Show on Thurs. when they discuss his health.
I don't have cable -- but no doubt there will be plenty of reports. Naturally Trump would turn to Dr. Oz, another discredited conman. Funny how Trump can't just go to a real doctor and issue a real report. What's he hiding?
I've read that Oz will not ask questions that Trump does not want to answer. It's a setup.
Just think what kind of President Hillary would be if she had polio and could not walk and hid that from the American people...
[13] Oz won't ask questions...of course he won't. Will be interesting how the media covers it -- will they mock it or treat it seriously? Will Hillary put a commercial out minutes after it's over?
Doesn't this tax return issue have an election day expiration date? He's lying about this "billionaire" thing. He hardly does anything else. Deplorable!
A new poll released on Tuesday shows a whopping 42-point lead for Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton over Republican Donald Trump when it comes to Jewish voters. UNPRECEDENTED!
One week from today, we'll know exactly how Hillary's health episode has been received.
Any polls between now and then will mean little. It will take into this weekend for the dust to settle, for opinions to be made by the public.
[18] I wonder if Dr. Oz will weigh in on pneumonia?
He said he's not talking about Clinton. Doesn't mean Trump won't bring it up...

My gods, the delusions are rampant around here..
Democrats are OPENLY talking about replacing Hillary on the ticket...
The idea that Hillary has Parkinsons is being discussed by Hillary's MSM water carriers..
And YOU honestly believe that TRUMP is on the defensive!!????
You must be in one of those states that have legalized pot because you are high as a kite...
Another "TRUMP IS TOAST" prediction, right?? :D
But, who am I to begrudge ya'all yer fantasy world... :D
Don't worry.. I'll always be around to keep ya'all grounded in the facts and reality...
Michale
Why haven't you publicly released your tax returns, Mr. Trump?
This has already been addressed ad nasuem....
Like Hillary with her medical records and Hillary with her speech transcripts, there is something obviously in there that the candidates feel would be a detriment to their presidential campaigns...

I wonder if Dr. Oz will weigh in on pneumonia?

Why would Oz talk about ANY claim of illness vis a vis Clinton??
Ya'all have stated time and time again that Hillary is in "perfect health"...
Were ya'all WRONG!????
I am shocked!!!!
And ya never admitted ya'all were WRONG!!!!
DOUBLE SHOCKED!!!
{/snark}
Ya'all have NEVER been right on Trump and ya'all have NEVER been right about Hillary's illnesses...
The fact that ya'all think that ya'all have even the barest shred of credibility on the subject is kinda cute and endearing..
Like listening to a 5yr old say, "When I grow up, I am going to be Superman!!!"
It's like, "aawwwww isn't that so cute..." :D
That's what it's like when I hear ya'all say Trump's campaign is imploding and Hillary is going to win..
Trump's campaign is fine and Hillary is banging the shit outta Death's door...
Any day now, we're going to see the MSM Headlines, "HILLARY CLINTON 1947-2016"
Of course, Drudge's headline will read, "DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD"

It's the fact that ya'all were completely and utterly full of kaa-kaa when you tried to pass off that Clinton was in "perfect health" as fact....
Ya'all were wrong... AGAIN....
Michale
And one very important point to consider (This one's for you, Liz :D)
If Death's Door Hillary delays bowing out of the race for much longer (2-3 weeks at the outside) the ballots will have already been printed and certified and there won't be time to redo them..
That means that the ballots will have Clinton's name on it and (this is the important part) any vote for Clinton will be tossed out and is not, repeat IS NOT, transferable to Clinton's replacement..
When Hillary is forced to bow out of the election, get ready to say President Trump for the next 4 to 8 years.. :D
Michale
I thought that might shut ya'all up.. :D

GOP gains ground on Dems in voter registration in key states
WASHINGTON (AP) — Republicans have gained ground on Democrats in registering voters in three battleground states and kept their razor-thin advantage in Iowa — encouraging news for Donald Trump eight weeks before Election Day.
Republicans added hundreds of thousands of voters to the rolls since 2012 in states including Florida and Arizona, and narrowed the gap in North Carolina, according to data compiled by The Associated Press. In Iowa, Republicans prevented Democrats from surpassing them, aided by a court ruling upholding a ban on voting by ex-felons, who often register as Democrats.

Nervous Democrats Fret About Clinton’s Stumbles as Race Tightens
Prominent Democrats have tough words for Clinton as some Democrats worry she’ll squander her advantage against Trump.
“I'm totally afraid. Donald Trump definitely has the chance to win. It's really close. Closing here in Pennsylvania and Florida,” said Clinton Barnes of Philadelphia, who attended President Barack Obama's rally there Tuesday for Clinton. “It's all spooky.”
“Hillary's been her own worst enemy,” he said. “People think she's dishonest.”

Half the country thinks Clinton has lied about her health to the public..
Fifty percent of people think that Hillary Clinton "has given the public false information about her heath," a Politico/Morning Consult poll found in the days following the Democratic nominee's pneumonia scare at the 9/11 Memorial on Sunday. By comparison, only 37 percent of people say the same about Donald Trump.
Overall, people think Trump is healthier than Clinton, with 22 percent saying Clinton's health is "above average or excellent" and 36 percent saying the same for Trump.
Less than half of voters, at 44 percent, said Clinton's health would negatively affect her ability to be president; three in 10 people don't think she'd survive her first term while two in 10 people think Trump wouldn't. If one of them were to die, voters would rather have Mike Pence as president; 43 percent said he's prepared to serve, verses 38 percent who think Clinton's running mate, Tim Kaine, is ready to step up to the plate.

Why are you letting people die from ISIS terrorism when you could stop it "very, very quickly"? Don't you think that if you briefed our top military confidentially on your plan today, they could implement it and ISIS would be extinguished before the election and you would get the credit? Not only would this save lives, but you would almost certainly improve your chances on November 8th.

You don't need to keep defending the indefensible (Trump) just because we're all against him. You're just being stubborn. You have brain cells and they function. Stop keeping them from doing their job.
So Michale is now reduced to claiming assaults that have been reported everywhere are fake?

Before the Republican Party volunteer even finished her line, Ken Maestas had the answer. “No! No! Change direction,” the retired police officer said with conviction. “I’m all for changing.”
More voters are beginning to agree with Maestas, as evidenced by Donald Trump’s rising stock in Colorado. The latest polls show the Republican closing the gap with Hillary Clinton in a state where Democrats felt so confident that they diverted millions in television advertising to other battlegrounds.

Trump is clinically obese at 267 pounds, and that nugget jogs my memory as to who Trump reminds me of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kY4Ytj0itGo
Trump told the Wizard of Oz that for exercise he "usually likes to golf" (a true Scotsman) but since campaigning his only exercise is "moving his hands around" while speaking.
Script to Fat Bastard: Must do more mocking of disabled people and opponents during political rallies and really work out those teeny digits.
Can you just imagine the fallout in the media if HRC went on a TeeVee show and said her exercise consisted of moving her hands?
Moving on... Trump also confessed to the Wizard that he enjoys fast food because "at least you know what they are putting in it." Okay, you got me. I made that one up because who would be stupid enough to say something so seriously asinine like that? Except.... No. Trump actually did say that. :)

Hillary Clinton’s campaign released additional medical information Wednesday, including more details on the Democratic presidential nominees latest bout of pneumonia.
A Clinton campaign official said the 68-year-old former secretary of state received a non-contrast chest CT scan on Friday that revealed a mild, non-contagious form of bacterial pneumonia. She was treated with Levaquin, an antibiotic, and advised to take it for 10 days.
“She is recovering well with antibiotics and rest. She continues to remain healthy and fit to serve as President of the United States,” said Clinton’s physician, Dr. Lisa Bardack.
Bardack characterized Clinton’s last physical as “normal” and said the Democratic nominee “is in excellent mental condition.”
“My overall impression is that Mrs. Clinton has remained healthy and has not developed new medical conditions this year other than a sinus and ear infection and her recently diagnosed pneumonia,” the doctor’s letter said.

When Trump called for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States, Scotland's First Minister Nicola Sturgeon stripped him of his business ambassadorship, and Robert Gordon University in Aberdeen rescinded his 2010 honorary degree.

Hillary has BACTERIAL pneumonia, says her doctor - who reveals candidate had ANOTHER secret medical treatment in January
Clinton campaign releases letter from Lisa Bardack, candidate's physician FIVE DAYS after she diagnosed her with pneumonia
Reveals series of medical secrets - including lengthy battle with sinus infection which resulted in surgical procedure in January
She had drain put into her left ear to cure condition and a follow-up CT scan in March to assess for brain damage
