Danny Bateman Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 Wording seems odd... Plus, isn't it a crime to publish federal tax returns without permission? I wonder if she got more state returns or those of a family remember. Or really old ones? I don't know. I'm a bit suspicious, but definitely intrigued. Link to comment
NM11046 Posted March 15, 2017 Author Share Posted March 15, 2017 If it's a Federal Crime how did we see the 3 pages from the old filing? I agree though - if it was significant I feel like they would have it breaking into news programs - but it has to be somewhat noteworthy, or she wouldn't be putting out the teasers and advertising it. Her ratings have improved a great deal lately, she can't risk going down in flames with a silly attention getting tactic. Link to comment
Danny Bateman Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 AP reporting it is 2005 as well: It's a crime if it's a federal return. The previous leak was his NY state return. This is fascinating. I don't know how she'll get around it, but this is a fascinating case study of personal privacy vs. the best interest of the public. Link to comment
Moiraine Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 It should just be a law that in order to become president you have to release them. Link to comment

I was just thinking this as well - do you take the hit as a journalist and face legal ramifications for the good of the country? I'd like to think there are those sorts of Patriots out there. Certainly we're seeing some with the leakers. Link to comment

RedDenver Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 I'm not seeing where it's illegal for the media to release tax returns, only the preparers, government officials, or others involved in processing the tax return. Here's the US Code: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/26/6103 Link to comment

Landlord Posted March 15, 2017 Share Posted March 15, 2017 What are returns from 2005 going to tell you about a man 11 years later? Proof that he's a crook and a liar, or at least has historically been a crook and a liar, which is worthwhile in it's own right, but would also serve to even further galvanize many towards demanding to know what his business dealings look like in present tense. You guys and gals really expect anything significant to come of this? It's not nothing, that's for sure. Link to comment
