(3,660 posts)First, given that Jane does them herself, they are probably back in Vermont. Second the campaign will probably want to take a quick look before publicly releasing them.
But....
Given who Bernie is, I'm betting that they will definitely be released quite soon. The only question is, how much of an uproar are you guys going to create from the talking points from David Brock, before they get released - and will that translate to an equivalent amount of shame when they are...
I kind of doubt it given the pushback on her releasing her transcripts.

What he does with his own money beyond that is his own business.
Why don't we talk about the Clintons and how much of your money has been going into their pockets and what they have been doing with it? 'Cuz that seems a lot more relevant, given just how much more they have gotten than Bernie has.

(15,265 posts)The Sanders have clearly been pulling tje wool over our eyes and have been living in the lap of luxury in a secret life. I suspect that Jonathan Capehart will soon have photographic evidence.

What I think is going to be fantastic is that he will release them.
I hope there are some talking points ready, such as:
"Said Bernie Sanders sucks off of the government teat."
"Bernie Sanders didn't have the same evidence for the Iraq war that HRC did."
"Hillary Clinton believes that there should be regulations with regard to abortion."

You couldn't prop her up at this point with a collection of 2X4's, some caulking and a low wind day.

There was nothing there. Now he starts parroting this nonsense to get people distracted from the campaign's recent struggles.
How Clinton supporters don't see these tactics for what they are baffles me

Do you see how asinine the phraseology of the OP is?
Perhaps a rewrite into something viable.
That means every VET gets to show their expenses, even when they take a 50% 20&Out retirement and get a second government pension job or one at a defense contractor...all while they complain that teachers, police and fire are socialists.
