New York Times said:The New York Times has obtained tax-return data extending over more than two decades for Mr. Trump and the hundreds of companies that make up his business organization, including detailed information from his first two years in office. It does not include his personal returns for 2018 or 2019. This article offers an overview of The Times’s findings; additional articles will be published in the coming weeks.
Oh, I’m sure that “the lawyers” have been all over this story before it went to press.If they are brought to court for this, I will happily chip in twenty-five or fifty bucks to their defense fund.
In the meantime, I'm tuning in. Pass the popcorn.
So the question that should be asked: who will get prosecuted for data breach of confidential information?, no doubt abusing position and trust?
Yeah, that’ll be “the real story”, “who leaked!?”So the question that should be asked: who will get prosecuted for data breach of confidential information?, no doubt abusing position and trust?
He should totally sue them!Oh and Fake News!!!
See what a clever businessman our Donald is? He's managed to keep his taxes down to a mere $750 a year for 2016 & 2017.
Unless tax returns are public information ,( they are not to my knoWledge) then this was unlawfully leaked, in violation of rights to data protection by statutory bodies.A legal inquiry into anyone's taxes is acceptable in any court. Even Trump can't hide the truth, although he tries and tries and tries and tries...
I’m pretty sure that the genie won’t be going back into the bottle.Unless tax returns are public information ,( they are not to my knoWledge) then this was unlawfully leaked, in violation of rights to data protection by statutory bodies.
Here's what the publisher of the Times said about that:He should totally sue them!
Mr. Trump, one of the wealthiest presidents in the nation’s history, has broken with that practice. As a candidate and as president, Mr. Trump has said he wanted to make his tax returns public, but he has never done so. In fact, he has fought relentlessly to hide them from public view and has falsely asserted that he could not release them because he was being audited by the Internal Revenue Service. More recently, Mr. Trump and the Justice Department have fought subpoenas from congressional and New York State investigators seeking his taxes and other financial records.
Some will raise questions about publishing the president’s personal tax information. But the Supreme Court has repeatedly ruled that the First Amendment allows the press to publish newsworthy information that was legally obtained by reporters even when those in power fight to keep it hidden. That powerful principle of the First Amendment applies here.
No. I don’t think the point is that he’s done anything illegal. He might have, but the NY Times data wouldn’t show it. It’s that he is a lousy businessman, whose main talent is shifting losses to other people. But we knew that already. So there’s little new information here."Trump’s Taxes Show Chronic Losses and Years of Income Tax Avoidance"
Are losses and avoidance illegal?
Has the IRS gotten involved, did they find any wrong doing by Trump?
