You could see it coming, but not necessarily from the Republicans and so soon.  Hypocrisy?  Other's will judge but I find it interesting that of all people Mitt Romney is attacking Donald Trump on, of all things, his failure to release his personal income tax returns. 

Here is Mitt Romney who miserably responded to Harry Reid's accusation that  "someone" told him that he (Mitt Romney)  failed to pay his income taxes.  Maybe it worked so well on Romney that Mitt thinks he'll use it against Trump.  Problem is that Trump is far more street savvy than Mitt Romney ever has been and Trump is in some areas smarter, or maybe wiser, than Mitt. 

All that aside the hypocrisy in all this is at this point in time in the 2012 election Mitt Romney had neither released his Taxes and ultimately didn't do so until almost the general election so Trump could still release his taxes in the next few months and still beat the time frame that Mitt Romney ultimately released his own taxes for the 2012 campaign.  Far as I know all the presidential candidates release what they are required (by law) to do but rather it's their complete history of tax returns that some candidates try to get others to release hoping that they can find some hiding secrets that will look bad on the candidate. 

So basically what this post is about is that Mitt Romney is condemning Trump for doing exactly what he did, at least based upon the same time frames.  Romney didn't release his taxes until way late in the game.  I think a month before the general election so here he is condemning Trump for doing the same thing he did.

Mitt is looking rather like Harry Reid -- not a comparison I would desire.  Trump is under audit by the IRS.  His lawyer advised him not to disclose anything until the audit is complete.  I suspect his accountant did the same.

The Washington Post is said to be putting some 20 reporters just on digging up trash (I would say making it up if they can't find it) on Trump.  I wonder how many they have put on Hillary or will put on Hillary?   You can bet if any are put on Hillary it will be to try to dig up something positive and good on her to report.  Frankly I wonder which would be more difficult, finding trash on Trump or something good on Hillary?

I can also just see Hillary making mention of Trump's taxes.  I hope if it's mentioned that Trump quickly responds just as soon as you disclose the contents of those speeches you gave on Wall Street.
