He has taken advantage of the tax codes 2. He may have to sell assets to cover his debt balloon payments and 3. His track record of business failures is continuing. [/quote]
Lots of “something illegal” detailed in the article. You should read it.[/quote]

The NYT doesn't have a good record. I guess Trump doesn't have to release his taxes since the NYT has them, lol!

Even Rachel M. showed his 2005 tax return which didn't back up any allegations. To her credit she actually showed the viewers the product.

Trump is on twitter saying it’s fake news and that the returns were illegally obtained. Can’t be both. [/quote]Sure it can be! They could have illegally obtained tax records and are lying about the content.[/quote]

well, that would be easy to prove, he can just release his tax returns, like any president or candidate in the past few decades, easy peasy[/quote]

Do you support the illegal obtaining by media of someone’s tax records?Do you support blackmail? The source is probably an IRS employee[/quote]

Probably not IRS. The leak does not include 2018/2019 which an IRS employee would have. Also too easy for DOJ to find out by examining who had access and printed copies. Likely Cohen or someone else fired in 2018.[/quote]

It’s likely NY State. States and IRS share data. NYTs doesn’t have the printed returns themselves, but have all the data from the form entry fields.

Mostly likely NYTs received an excel file with the data from a verified source in NY State government. And there’s not a damn thing the Fed’s can do about it[/quote]

I doubt it is a state or federal source unless it is someone on an audit team plus I am sure the IRS has locked it down right. It sounds like they have more than just the tax transcripts.  The story says they have “years of employee compensation information and records of cash payments between the president and his businesses, as well as information about ongoing federal audits of his taxes.“  That would be more than the IRS normally gets outside an audit.  My guess is that it’s from a lender or someone else he sought financing from.[/quote]
