One of the more amazing alternative facts from Kellyanne Conway this morning was that Trump will not be releasing his taxes. Not a shocker. I have a feeling this is the least of our worries. BUT in a shocking turn, it looks like Julian Assange has turned on Trump:
Trump's breach of promise over the release of his tax returns is even more gratuitous than Clinton concealing her Goldman Sachs transcripts.

Uh, what?
They helped get him into office, and now they’re turning on him? I’m not sure if they’re just doing this to appear fair, or if they’re actively trying to undermine Trump.
Trump Counselor Kellyanne Conway stated today that Trump will not release his tax returns. Send them to: https://t.co/cLRcuIiQXz so we can.

If you’ll remember, back in August Julian Assange said to Bill Maher that they were “working on it” in reference to hacking Trump’s tax returns. But after people began reporting it as fact, he clarified that it was a joke:
WikiLeaks isn't 'working on' hacking Trump's tax-returns. Claim is a joke from a comedy show. We are 'working on' encouraging whistleblowers

So… why are they now all hot and heavy for his taxes, or pretending to be?
Here’s Kellyanne Conway saying they won’t release his taxes.
