There is only one candidate, Republican or Democrat, who has been more opaque when it comes to allowing the American people to see their tax returns than Bernie Sanders: Donald Trump.

Bernie Sanders, who has made it his business to police other people's transparency practices, has released full tax returns tax returns for... zero years, though he released the summary for a single year, 2014. Compared to Sanders, John Kasich is more transparent (having released seven years of partial returns). Even Ted Cruz (who released four years of partial returns) has shown more commitment to transparency than Bernie.

Hillary Clinton has walloped the entire field and is the only candidate to have released her full tax returns for every year since 2001.

Move over, Donald. Bernie Sanders' wife and tax preparer Jane Sanders went on Bloomberg on Monday and came up with this excuse as to why Sen. and Mrs. Sanders have not yet released any of their full tax returns, which Mrs. Sanders said she filed using Intuit's tax preparation software Turbo Tax.

We have to go back and find them... We haven't been home for months!

She then proceeded to ask for time because she needs to go home and find the returns, conveniently putting the timeline after the New York primary.

Are. You. Kidding. Me. The campaign that is run almost entirely online is telling us that their tax returns aren't saved on a cloud service that is accessible from any device connected to the Internet?

Let me help you out there, Jane. Turbo Tax keeps full copies of your tax returns from previous years on record, on their servers. You log in, and viola! You have years of tax returns saved waiting for you to download and release to the media.

5. If not resolved before primary, between 15th & 19th will be a drumbeat of "Where are the returns?"

It's literally the deadline of tax season. This issue is not just going to "go away" for Sanders. And it's not really enough like the transcripts that the media can get away with conflating the two for the public. Everyone and anyone knows that presidential candidates release their tax returns.
