Trump and Taxes

[HankB]

Biden: "TRUMP HARDLY PAID ANY TAXES AT ALL FOR DECADES!!!!"

Trump: "Joe, that's called TAX COMPLIANCE, and I'd really like to thank you for being such a big part of making the laws covering the tax code for your 47 years in government!"

I think it pretty well falls under the same rules that classified info does. If the publisher didn't acquire the info illegally first hand, i.e. "someone" who might have illegally acquire the info gave it to them freely then they can publish without violation of the law.

But if they find the geezer that leaked the dox...

[DittoHead]

How is that not a crime?

Leaking it is a crime, especially if it was an IRS/federal employee. Publishing it is technically against a section in the IRS code, but that hasn't been used in previous instances and would be certainly challenged (and it's a commonly held opinion that it wouldn't hold up, much like the Logan Act).

Libertarians switch to Trump after tax revelations.

Another thing Trump could point out if it comes up is that he is one of the only politicians in D.C. that is losing money while in office instead of getting richer.

Oh no! Trump is done. NYT just discovered that Trump made money endorsing products, just like all TV celebrities do. $500,000 for endorsing Oreo Double Stuff cookies.

They're contributing to his campaign at this point. This kind of thing doesn't swing sway voters (except maybe in Trump's direction). This is just food for the people who have full blown TDS.

[MechAg94]

I wonder if the TDS that has infected them for a while will overshadow any actual October surprises.  They have claimed to have the goods on Trump a few times before and it amounted to nothing.

Privacy Act of 1974 and possibly HIPAA.

Perhaps I missed this, but as someone who does HIPAA for a living, was any healthcare information about the President released?  I thought the NYT story was about tax and financial information.

He posted on Facebook about moving to a new host service for his blog because of consistent problems like that.

I can't see the NYT story originally posted.  I am hearing that the story itself says Trump actually paid more money than was required and more than the $750 that has been claimed.  Have any of you seen a link that reprints the NYT story?
