Jane Sanders on releasing tax returns. Good thing TV doesn't have smell-o-vision. #VettingBernie #VettingJane



ProChoice Sneak @word_34
Mark Halperin is hammering Jane Sanders over the Sanders tax returns. Jane's excuse is that she "can't find" the previous 8 years.

"I have to go home to find them. I'm not sure of where they are"

[ViseGrip]

1. Can Hillary find her transcripts?

[Bluenorthwest]

43. We have a partial transcript of one of her public right wing praise sessions:

"It may be hard for your viewers to remember how difficult it was for people to talk about HIV/AIDS back in the 1980s and because of both president and Mrs. Reagan — in particular Mrs. Reagan — we started a national conversation, when before nobody would talk about it, nobody wanted to do anything about it, and that too is something I really appreciate with her very effective low-key advocacy. It penetrated the public conscience and people began to say, hey, we have to do something about this too." Hillary Clinton, March 2016

[Ash_F]

2. So she is like a normal person?

Other candidates have an accountant and lawyers for that stuff.

[bigtree]

5. a 'normal person' using Turbotax

...would be able to pull those returns up on any computer using their password.

[Ash_F]

8. I am not familiar with the program

Does it not require an installation?

[MADem]

9. And if you forget your password, you can do it with your ssan and secret question!!! nt

[revbones]

12. Incorrect.

That is only if she stored them online. I do not store my tax returns online, and only keep copies on my desktop in my office.

[doc03]

20. I have my tax forms going back like 20 years and could produce them in minutes

just sayen.

[Kentonio]

39. You are presumably not currently flying around the country trying to become President?

just sayen.

[baldguy]

44. And doc03 doesn't have a campaign staff numbering in the 100s, any one of which

will do anything & everything they're told to help the campaign. Including retrieving some important documents form the Sanders home.

Just sayin'.

[jfern]

40. TurboTax has a downloadable version

Which means no easy web login.

[NuclearDem]

10. I know exactly where the electronic and hard copy versions of my returns are.

This isn't being normal; this is either being stupidly unorganized or attempting to hide something.

[Bobbie Jo]

17. Exactly

I'm the worst record keeper in the world, but I can track down my last 10 years tax returns in a pinch.

This is very basic stuff here.

[uponit7771]

35. +1

[CorkySt.Clair]

47. But don't worry, they can handle running the country

[Agnosticsherbet]

3. I have no problem printing filed turbo tax forms. She also has a problem answering questions.

[jmg257]

4. Are you calling Jane Sanders a liar? Nt

[MADem]

6. She may not realize she was lying--but that makes her stupid. She's gonna have to pick.

You can access your returns from anywhere in the world if you use Turbo Tax.

[beedle]

18. You realize

That there are windows/mac software version where you save your returns on your computer on not in the cloud?

[Avalon Sparks]

32. I think they are saved in Turbo Tax database though

But maybe not. Maybe there isn't such a thing. I always save it to my desktop.

For many years Turbo tax didn't charge you unless you submitted them online.

Now I have to pay before even using the program.

Regardless.


I always print them out, I've never tried to pull up prior years with the online up.

[MADem]

48. You realize

...that you can ask the IRS for copies of past returns, and they'll SEND THEM TO YOU? If she'd done this when people first started asking--months ago--for those returns, she'd have them in hand by now.


She's out of excuses.

[beedle]

51. You realize

The IRS would mail them to your registered home/office address which would align with what she said she would do. When she got home she would address the Tax return issue.

[MADem]

53. You realize

The IRS is not stupid, and they'd mail them where ever the fuck he asked them to mail them.

Are you seriously trying to tell me, with a straight damned face, that if you moved in the last year, that the IRS would, even if you requested a return be mailed to your new address (after filling out the form with all your personal information on it) mail your return to your last year's address, because they are rigid and dumb and can't adapt to change?

All I got to say is



You will break your back bending over to make any excuse.

[beedle]

55. Call them up and ask them to mail you a copy to you're Mother's address

see how easy that is.

[bigtree]

7. yes

...this wouldn't get past the whispering if she'd have been more believable.

This is just embarrassing.

[jmg257]

13. One would think they have something to hide. Not likely but it would come out

When the do release them. So why lie?

[bigtree]

21. might be embarrassing, but not illegal

...something contradicting Bernie's narrative.

Or, as I'm thinking is a possibility, there's something she's hiding from Bernie.

[HERVEPA]

25. Yeh, it's clear that's the type of marriage they have. Really, really dumb.

Projecting much?

[slipslidingaway]

31. "Or, as I'm thinking is a possibility, there's something she's hiding from Bernie."

Seriously!

[MADem]

49. Maybe it had something to do with "Mom's condo."

"Mom" died in 2005.

Who takes on a campaign without thoroughly vetting their own candidate? Tad got sloppy--greed can do that to you. He should have had those returns in hand before the papers were filed to run in the first place.

[pa28]

11. Punching down on the Sanders family turbo tax return is not going to help your candidate.

I've seen you do so much better. Please.

[SHRED]

15. I guess they think this is good way to recruit Sander's voters?

[Thinkingabout]

16. And asking Hillary to release the transcripts of her speeches is not going to help Sanders.

[w4rma]

34. transcripts to Wall Street banks where one speech was worth more than Bernie's income tax. (nt)

[uponit7771]

36. Nothing illegal about filing wrong speech transcripts

[MADem]

50. He should be subject to the SAME scrutiny as anyone else.

Enough of this "Because Berrrrrrnie...." bullshit.


I've seen you do so much better. Please.

Get off that horse, you're breaking its back.

And anyone who would give Sanders a pass on this "because Berrrnie....." should be ashamed of themselves. They're just not serious. If Clinton ever thought of withholding "a" tax return--never mind every frigging one--you'd be having a cow.

[pa28]

56. I think you are the best MADem.

[Thinkingabout]

14. If the tax returns are released then his supporters will know he is one of the people he is

ranting about, the rich.

[HERVEPA]

23. Incorrect and dumb. Otherwise, a great post.

[Thinkingabout]

27. So, what do you know about his tax returns?

[jmg257]

29. Yeah with that crazy 401k and pension and SS, they must be worth a cool

$200k a year.

[uponit7771]

37. +1

[Hiraeth]

19. well, at least she didn't wipe them clean with a cloth.

[HERVEPA]

22. This guy posting again. Good thing DU doesn't have smell-o-vision

[whatchamacallit]

24. Fat, ugly... smelly?

You guys are awesome.

[redstateblues]

26. They are lost somewhere in Camp Pinocchio

[slipslidingaway]

28. Watch the full interview here - Jane Sanders on With All Due Respect (04/11/16)

Interview begins at 18:55, tax question just after 24:00

Where did she say that? Did you even look for the interview before posting this?


"Jane's excuse is that she "can't find" the previous 8 years."

[NWCorona]

30. Bernie is just waiting for the debate.

That's unless Hillary releases her transcripts before then.

[DesertRat]

33. K&R

[hobbit709]

38. Same could be said for your post.

[Surya Gayatri]

41. You could smell the pong through the TV screen...

Cringe and squirm making segment.

Her body language was distinctly uncomfortable, her eyes were evasive, and her laugh was very nervous.

Not all above board in Sanders' finances. Bank on it.

[Bluenorthwest]

42. smell-o-vision

Of course her boosters don't care about public health, minority communities neglected nor high praise of Republican monsters.

[cwydro]

45. Interesting. nt

[bigtree]

46. »

[mcar]

52. All she has to do is log on to Turbo Tax and she can access her returns online

[MoonRiver]

54. Maybe she doesn't have access to her Turbotax password?

I'm being VERY generous here.

[Surya Gayatri]

57. Kicking for visibility.
