Does he? What credible things has Trump said or done that would lead you to believe him? The IRS has said no audit is taking place and that he is free to release his returns. As have tax lawyers. I believe he pays taxes (sometimes). He is afraid to release them because he knows he will get nailed on HOW MUCH he pays.

I shouldn't have bit on this when there's bigger stuff happening but I just can't understand why you guys would pick something that false when critiquing someone that has no shortage of flaws.

You bit hard.
The 2005 tax return was a "strategic leak" by Trump. The White House issued a press release before the tax return information was even revealed on her show. They were able to get in front of the news story in a proactive manner. Ask yourself, when has this administration ever done anything in a pro-active manner? The coincidence is how the WH knew exactly what was going to be revealed on the return and line by line provided a description of Trump's dealings.
As a comparison, check out Warren Buffet. Public disclosure of his empire and personal tax returns. Nothing to hide.
