WikiLeaks on Sunday urged people to submit President Donald Trump's tax returns so the organization could release them.

"Trump Counselor Kellyanne Conway stated today that Trump will not release his tax returns," WikiLeaks posted on Twitter.

"Send them to: https://wikileaks.org/#submit so we can."

WikiLeaks also blasted the president for declining to release his tax returns himself.

"Trump's breach of promise over the release of his tax returns is even more gratuitous than [Hillary] Clinton concealing her Goldman Sachs transcripts," the organization tweeted.

Kellyanne Conway, on Sunday said the president would not release his tax returns.

"We litigated this all through the election. People didn’t care," Conway, a top Trump adviser, said on ABC's "This Week."

"They voted for him, and let me make this very clear: most Americans are — are very focused on what their tax returns will look like while President Trump is in office, not what his look like."

" Presidents release tax returns only for years they serve in office and only while they still hold that office. Consequently, Jimmy Carter did not release a return for 1980 nor did Ronald Reagan release one for 1988 — each left office before returns were due. Likewise incoming presidents do not release returns for the year before they assumed office, even though they hold office when returns for that year come due.

Somebody send some fake ones.

Then another, different fake set.

And then maybe a third (which would really be Kerry’s or Fienstien’s, or ... ??)

Watch Trump surprise everyone and releases his tax returns “out of the blue.” Just that would drive the MSM nuts.

Nice thought, but that would take A LOT of work, and fake ones would be easy to spot.

Someone in the IRS will leak them; take it to the bank. Unlike if this happened under Obama, however, the leaker should be and will be prosecuted.

If so, Trump will have standing to say it is a lie, or more Fake News.

IIRC, he is/has been audited for certain year(s) in question. Assuming that the audit(s) finds something to change, which is not unusual, especially with any more-complex return, the changes will result in the final return being amended or changed. Thus, the released return would be of an earlier version, which has been changed and would not be the actual return, as finally amended, for that given tax year.

The birth certificate was clearly fake. The media would never let that see the light of day.

Maybe now that THE ONE is gone, we can have a real look at the issue

Jesus never needed a sword. When He died He did it willingly for us. He counted on His Father’s protection in faith. He lived by faith and did not therefore need any weapon. Once you leave the realm of faith alone for protection and picked up a sword you will not any longer be relying on The LORD’S protection alone and have opened yourself up to possibly dying by relying on the sword. Faith alone, if one is up to it, is the safest way.

Relax. They're trolling, just like Trump is by refusing to release his returns.

When Trump's tax returns do finally see the light of day, the greatest outrage will be that there's nothing there.
