Wolf Blitzer chided Bernie Sanders for not having released his tax returns, and Sanders said, "I think we have one that's coming out tomorrow." Blitzer asked which one, and Sanders said, "Last year's." He assured everybody that his returns will be "very boring."

"Senator, just to be clear," Blitzer said, "tomorrow you will release the 2014 returns for you and your family?" Sanders said yes. "And what about the other ones?" Blitzer asked, noting that all you have to do is go to your filing cabinet, make a copy, and release it. Sanders said that his wife, Jane Sanders, does their taxes, and she's been busy. "We will get them out," he said. "We'll get them out very shortly. It's not a big deal."
