Otherwise - why would anyone even think of putting this out there?

This is why Donald Trump’s tax returns haven’t been leaked

“If someone were to release the returns right now, they might be able to change the outcome of the election,” said Joseph Thorndike, a tax historian and director of the nonpartisan Tax History Project at the Tax Analysts organization. “It’s a very tempting prospect.”

...
The Post reached out to the Washington law firm Morgan, Lewis and Bockius, Trump’s tax attorneys, for comment about the firm’s security protocols and didn’t receive a reply.

...
According to tax experts and former IRS employees, tens of thousands of people have access to Trump’s tax information, if not his complete returns. Revenue agents, customer-service staffers and employees at walk-in tax assistance centers, plus a smaller number of federal contractors, use a master computer that shows a summary of everyone’s return. Once they enter a name or Social Security number, these employees could go further into the record, much like scanning a bank account.

“It would take 10 minutes,” said Richard M. Schickel, who retired from the IRS in 2013 as a senior revenue officer and wrote a book about the agency. The computer is a “museum of tax information,” he said: “Everyone is on it. You, your grandfather, your great uncle.”


Are you kidding me? They are trolling for someone to break the law and reveal his tax records.

Shameless....

His 24,000 pages are not on any tax site or just out there. He doesn't file the EZ forms.

How do they know someone has not done this already and is just waiting for the right moment to release them?

I'm about as interested in a politician's tax returns and charitable donations as I am in their height and weight. Which is, not at all.

I'm the only one who said not interested' and I wasn't interested in Obama's birth certificate.

The other posters are against leaking the returns vs him releasing them.
