So, is Romney's stonewalling on his taxes related to the investigation into 'tax avoidance' at Bain?


Are Mitt Romney's personal taxes a SUBJECT of the investigation? Is that why he can't release them right now? That would make perfect sense.

That wouldn't provide cover, at all, for Romney's stonewalling; rather, it would all but damn his campaign to admit that they were being held up by investigators.

Is it actually possible for prosecutors to investigate Bain's taxes without looking thoroughly at Romney's?

of a company that he was running? Do the American People want to elect a cheat and criminal for president? If by some slim chance Rmoney wins this election - if criminal charges come out after the election - could he be impeached? If so - does that mean we would get a Ryan as president?

What a pompous jerk to tell the people he hopes to hire him that they don't 'need' to know more about his tax returns.
