Edited to add the 2016 promises - both before and after the primaries.

These excuses are ridiculous. If Sanders didn't want to release them, he should have said so. Instead, he's been promising to release them "soon" for years. It's clear that he's hiding something. What do you think it is?

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
