The Clintons have not released tax returns for several years–the last may have been the year that Hillary Clinton won a Senate race by beating her opponent (Lazio) over the head with the fact that he, um, hadn't released his tax records.
This is a big deal because it shouldn't be a big deal. It should take a half hour and a Xerox machine in an accountant's office to produce copies of the Clintons' returns for the past few years. So you really do have to ask yourself–why hasn't she done it? All the other candidates have, so what's the problem here?
I suspect the problem has something to do with Bill's business dealings, but I could be entirely wrong--and it would be easy enough to dispel that suspicion by releasing the tax returns, wouldn't it? Why is this not happening? And why is this basic request for information being met with so much pushback?
We need to keep asking these questions until the media gets over its Saturday Night Live-inspired Clinton lovefest and starts paying attention again.
