This weekend the public broadcast network ran a special on the 1970s. Much of the program, as you might expect, was about Nixon and Watergate. When during the investigation it was learned that Nixon had tapes (HE HAD TAPES!), the entire focus of Congress and of the Special Prosecutor was to get access to those tapes.
Nixon said that the tapes exonerated him, but he wouldn’t release them as a matter of principle. Anyone who had followed Nixon’s career knew that principle was not a high priority with him. We also knew that if the tapes really did show his innocence, he would be the first to play them to the American public.
Now we get Trump telling us that his income tax returns show nothing amiss with his taxes, but he wouldn’t show them to us as a matter of principle.
Really? Sorry, Mr. Trump, but we’ve been down that road before.
