When you read articles like this:

it suddenly becomes clear why Donald Trump doesn't want his business dealings scrupulously examined. If it is indeed true that Trump has benefitted financially from a deal that has funneled money to a known terrorist state, that is probably a treasonous offense. (It also helps explain why Trump is adamant about not releasing his tax returns.)
My question about our new President is fairly simple: If he is totally clean in all this, then why does he keep acting guilty? If he has "nothing to hide" and he's totally clean, then he should welcome these inquiries into his [foreign] business dealings. He could clear up a lot of these questions by the simple act of releasing his tax returns - like nearly every President has done since [at least] the 1960's.
Like Nixon during Watergate, Trump keeps insisting "there's no 'there' there" and we should all move on and ignore all these "Russia" questions. Time will tell whether Donald Trump is the modern day equivalent of Richard Nixon.
