Trump Jr: awesome
by digby
So we can stop asking about the tax returns:
Donald Trump Jr. says that one reason for not releasing his father’s tax returns ― a tradition followed by every major party presidential candidate in the past 40 years ― is that it would simply invite too much scrutiny from ordinary people.
“He’s got a 12,000-page tax return that would create … financial auditors out of every person in the country asking questions that would detract from [his father’s] main message,” Trump Jr. said in an interview with the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review published Wednesday.
That is true. And from what I can tell, the media is shrugging. It's just another admission that he has no intention of doing it because they don't want people to know the full extent of his conflicts of interest. He is not going to do anything
And then there's this:
The media has been her number one surrogate in this,” the younger Trump told radio host Chris Stigall on 1210 WPHT radio in Philadelphia. “Without the media, this wouldn’t even be a contest, but the media has built her up. They’ve let he slide on every in-discrepancy, on every lie, on every DNC game trying to get Bernie Sanders out of this thing.
“If Republicans were doing that, they’d be warming up the gas chamber right now.”
He seems to think that his father isn't lying. He is wrong. He is never not lying.
