....
i feel all potential nominees need to submit their tax returns before even starting the primaries/caucuses
to atleast give people and IRS many months to find out how dodgy someone is at handling money. managing things, honesty and trust

Tax returns don't show any of those factors.

Totally true, tax returns don't really show a lot of substance anyway. At least for most people.

Hunter Biden was under investigation since 2018 and media has promised you that they're still objective guys. Absolutely wonderful we are learning after the election.

On a side note, this doesn't make Trump's phone call to Volodymyr Zelensky didn't look so bad considering there was actual doubt into the legitimacy of Hunter Biden's business dealings. I expect liberals to pretend as if the NY Post was not banned for releasing this story and that the entire media was convincing everyone that the story with his laptop was baseless.

On a final note - You should never trust any former "intel officials". They are incompetent political hacks - https://www.politico.com/news/2020/10/19/hunter-biden-story-russian-disinfo-430276 They could not be more incorrect if they tried.

Ehhhhh. I still think the Trump phone call to Zelensky still looks pretty good because it points to a sitting President directing an investigation into a political enemy for the reason of wanting to take them out of the race.

Even if he was doing something wrong, you really don't want the President to be directing who is getting investigated and who isn't. I think it's a bit of a different story though if the President learns of people in the DOJ trying to cover up the story / stop the investigation due to some deep state conspiracy. Though I haven't seen any stories about that.
