Why isn&#8217;t she releasing her tax returns?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>\nWolfson: Well, I understand that the Obama campaign is trying to push this issue. There is an awful lot known about Hillary Clinton&#8217;s finances. She files an annual report with the clerk of the Senate that reveals all the sources of her income, all the sources of her husband&#8217;s income. And so people know where she is getting her money, and this was raised initially when she gave the campaign a $5 million loan and questions were raised about where she got the money. Well, this is a woman who is a best-selling author. She&#8217;s made roughly $9 million from the sale of her book, so she has more than enough money to have given the campaign $5 million.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p><i><br \/>\nMuch is known about her finances. There&#8217;s an awful lot of information disclosed by her, and if Senator Obama is actually, really interested in transparency, there are many questions &#8212; for instance, about his relationship with indicted political fixer Tony Rezko that he could answer, that he has not. What was the exact nature of his relationship with Mr. Rezko? How many fundraisers did Mr. Rezko throw for him? How much money did Mr. Rezko bundle for him? How many business meetings did Senator Obama attend that Mr. Rezko was at? What was he doing at those business meetings? What favors did Senator Obama perform for Mr. Rezko? So there&#8217;s an awful lot of information that, if Senator Obama is interested in transparency, that he could come forward and offer the American people. <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I would have loved to have gotten a followup on that question&#8230;I don&#8217;t let my eleven year old throw sand like that when asked questions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Much is known about Hillary&#8217;s finances.
