Trump - 2005 Tax Return was leaked.

I would have said "Holly Crap" but some one broke the law and committed a felony and released someones tax returns.

The left wing bias MSM are claiming first amendment protection by completing the crime.

What I learned from watching MSNBC and CNN tonight...

That Richard M. Nixon didn't release his tax returns in 1968 but was forced by CPUSA and the radical "New Left":to release his tax returns during Watergate.

That President Ford never released his tax returns.

President Jimmy Carter released his tax returns and we learned that the Carter's peanut farm purchased enough bull **** (a tax right off) to fertilize every farm in Georgia. Nobody gave a ****.

Someone committed a federal crime, a felony and released Donald Trump's tax returns.

And the MSM uses the First Amendment to complete the crime just **** Wikileaks has.

Has America become a third world banana republic (politically) ???

 

There was no lawful requirement for Obama to release anything either, but that didn't stop wingnuts from criticizing him at every turn for not giving them everything they wanted. They even came up with the lies that he had his transcripts sealed when in reality everyone transcripts are sealed. You accuse me of whining? I don't care about his taxes. Probably wouldn't even look at them. I just like to see people like you whine when your king is asked to to do the same things Obama was for eight years.

 

How is this any different than when WikiLeaks illegally published information about the CIA?

The only reason you are butthurt is because this deals with your Messiah. Now will you call for Assange to be arrested?

 

The legitimacy of Trump's business experience lies in those tax returns. I thought you liked him so much for being a businessman.

 

Also I just have one question and think it is a pretty good one.

Why is it considered irrelevant information as to where the President made his money?

 

I'll ask one question. Why 2005? Trump was well aware this was leaked, and he intentionally picked 2005. Why so far back? Why not 2015?

 

^^^ clearly you do not know what "contempt charges" are

 

I'm also was business man on "Main Street"
Well today being close to being a semi retired business owner on "Main Street" because of a community organizer.

The first time I made $ !00 K )(net) was right after Ronald Reagan became POTUS.

I actually had to hire a CPA and a tax attorney

 

No it doesn't show that whatsoever. Tax returns do not show a person's net worth, only a person's income.

I gather MOST Democrats on the forum refuse to ever file tax returns and never have since NO tax forms - NONE - require a person state their net worth. Maybe you believe because you CLAIM to be a Vietnam Vet you don't have to pay taxes. Is that it?

 

Yes he does. You ask the question in depositions in a civil suit. If the person refuses to answer they can be jailed for contempt and/or otherwise sanctioned.

 

I would rather the information be available for both sides to spin as opposed to relying on Trump's blind assertions that we should trust him.

 

Yes, Obama was more transparent than Nixon. The amount of money spent on legal fees associated with FOIA requests is not a very good method for comparison especially when you consider that FOIA only came into existence two years before his Presidency and the amount of FOIA requests were astronomically lower.

 

Maybe the Trump camp leaked them itself. Something I heard on the radio mentioned It said client copy on the document. I can see him setting the bait, knowing they'd jump at it...and then look foolish.

 

Trump IS a con man...and he has his dupes all in a row.

To think...they actually consider themselves to be the smart ones when considering Donald Trump!

Oh well...the return was leaked...and is available for study. I suspect there are few, if any, other returns with such a high rate of tax payment.

 

Much ado about nothing it's just Rachel trying improve her ratings. Not to mention Trump's 2005 tax returns have been public for over a year.

Maybe because there is a 10 year statute of limitations on back taxes so whoever leaked it went back 11 years.

 

I've had this argument for dunderheads before on other boards. I've yet to ever come across a balance sheet on a 1040 in my lifetime. It's entirely possible to be worth a trillion dollars yet show no income other than interest or dividends on investments. It's a non starter. As for the leak, if someone at the IRS leaked it, they are in one heap of trouble. If it was some lender who had these documents for verification and due diligence in granting a loan, they are in a world of hurt as well. Who cares though, really? Bernie Sanders didn't have a pot to piss in (before he supported Clinton in the Presidential election).

 

Not me. I would rather focus on what he is doing as a President. What are his aims, foreign and domestic policies, taxes, healthcare. All the things that actually matter. He does not have to release his taxes. He is a billionaire businessman. What else do you need to know?

 

I wouldn't be surprised if 2005 was his best year ever and he made the tax available to be leaked!!! The truth is that he is doing everything possible to distract everybody from talking about Russia and the trump campaign. Wiretap claim with no evidence and now he wants the focus to be on his best business year ever to show he paid 25% tax. The media and people should not fall for all his corny distraction!!

 

maybe...MAYBE you don't know what you're talking about

back taxes is 3 years

 

Clearly you do not know what the statute of limitations means and the IRS audit itself can go back 6 years.

 

You mean nobody should point out another media lie that he paid no taxes.

 

no, it's three, trust me Richard

to act foolish is fun, to act foolish in public is "funner"..for us

 

Why would I trust you when you are not just wrong, but obnoxiously wrong:

 

It has all been a speculation and he fuels it more by not releasing the taxes to show he has nothing to hide (which I thought he doesn't). If he can release his 2006 - 2010 at the minimum then we can come to a conclusion as to how great of a business man he is and how much of his fair share of taxes he has paid. Until then, the media and everybody is free to speculate.
