Despite a
new report showing that Mitt Romney is exploiting a disclosure loophole to shield his investments from public view, his campaign says it
won't release any more tax documents than it already has:
Under renewed pressure from the Obama campaign to release additional tax information, Mitt Romney's campaign showed no signs of buckling Friday morning.
The former Massachusetts governor's top spokesman, Eric Fehrnstrom, told MSNBC that the campaign considered the material put out so far to be "sufficient." Romney had, he noted, complied with "all of the disclosure that is required by law." In addition, he had "voluntarily put forward hundreds of pages in tax returns."
One of the big things I don't understand here is why Mitt Romney was willing to hand over 23 years of tax returns to John McCain's vice presidential vetting team but won't do the same with the public. What's in there that he was willing to let McCain's people see but that he doesn't want to share with the rest of us?
