For those not aware, the federal penalty for leaking Trump's tax returns is called unlawful or unauthorized disclosure. That comes with a max $5,000 fine and not more than five years in prison. Not Rikers Island genpop prison, but "club fed" prison. It's possible anyone who would do this would get less of a sentence if he or she had no priors. They could also claim "whistleblower status" by doing so and may not even be punished.
Regardless, if there was anything illegal in his tax returns that could take him down, someone would have taken that bullet by now. Think of all the gofundme scrilla, book deals, movie rights, glory, and fame waiting for anyone in the IRS and otherwise to do this. He or she would be a fucking god to the left.
Furthermore, Natalie Edwards (senior official at FinCEN) and John C. Fry (IRS analyst) already got busted and pleaded guilty to similar charges. Edwards leaked suspicious activity reports on multiple people tied to Trump and Fry leaked Michael Cohen's financial records to Avenatti. If these two were willing to take a bullet to get some pawns, they would have been willing to take a bullet to get the king.
There is no such thing as long game in Drumpf hatred. They suckle up every nutrient of juicy goss the second it smacks their desk, however weak, however obviously fake, however stupid. Remember, Mueller had a blank check and years to spare for his own personal "get anything on mean orange man you can find" expedition, and what he came back with was, "I mean I guess the Russians made BLM Facebook posts, and not exonerated, or something."
The've got nothing. And the fact that they're throwing this ridiculous Hail Mary is delicious, because they're signaling their seething impotence. Their guy is a potted plant who doesn't know where he is, they're terrified that they're about to get bulldozed by the ultimate alpha, and it shows.
Also the fact that there was a two year, multi-million dollar witch hunt conducted by a team of legal experts who despised Trump and had unlimited scope investigating anything they wanted. They did not find a single crime in any of his taxes apparently. They would have used anything to bring him down and save the republic in their eyes. Taxes is how they nailed Manafort, it's not like they weren't looking. But people are acting like the NYT found something incriminating that the Mueller team did not find or have access to lol.
I can't even remember why the court even ruled they should be released. I know they were searching for conflicts of interest, muh Russia, tax evasion, but those were only allegations. Like, I'd imagine tax records should be protected under due process and stuff, so what justification sealed the deal with making them public?
EXACTLY. Obama’s IRS was corrupt as shit. They would’ve leaked if it helped. There’s also no way Mueller didn’t have access to them, they didn’t leak either. Which means nothing was there
If there were anything in his taxes, it would have been leaked in 2015.
Exactly.
