Hillary Clinton had some words that should send shivers up the spine of Donald Trump. While discussing Trump’s refusal to release his tax returns the former Sec. of State said, “So you got to ask yourself, why doesn’t he want to release them? Yeah, well, we’re going to find out.”

Clinton said:

He has released what he calls his tax plan, and it very clearly is his plan, because Donald Trump’s tax plan was written by a billionaire for billionaires. He wants to spend $3 trillion – that’s with a T – $3 trillion on tax cuts for people like him who make over a million dollars. That is $100,000 every month for multi-millionaires. Now, to put that in perspective, $3 trillion is enough money to make Social Security and Medicare solvent for the next 75 years. It’s enough money to put millions of Americans to work to repair and modernize all of our country’s infrastructure up to world-class standards…

Now, think about this. The typical family in America earns $54,000 a year. It would take that family 24 years of work to earn what Donald Trump’s tax plan will hand out to people like him in just one year. That is no way to create good jobs with rising incomes for the vast majority of Americans, is it? And the gentleman who called out, what about his tax plan, I hope you’ll keep asking that.

And what about his taxes? So we’ll get around to that, too, because when you run for president, especially when you become the nominee that is kind of expected. My husband and I have released 33 years of tax returns. We got eight years on our website right now. So you got to ask yourself, why doesn’t he want to release them? Yeah, well, we’re going to find out.

The bad news for Trump is that Democrats have a huge opposition research file on him, so whatever he thinks he is hiding by not releasing his tax returns is probably going to come out during the general election.

Donald Trump isn’t used to the kind of scrutiny that he will soon be facing from Democrats. Trump is no longer going to be able to filibuster his way out of difficult questions.

One suspects that Democrats already know what Trump is hiding, ​and it is just a matter of time before Hillary Clinton drops the hammer on the flawed Republican nominee.
