You think that is the bigger deal? I suppose it is a variant of doxing, but it doesn't look like the NYT is going to post the actual returns, just their interpretation.
Yes, it's a big deal, because one of Trump's favorite tactics is to "leak" something through "anonymous sources" that later falls apart in a spectacularly-public way, leaving egg on the journalists' faces and Trump looking like the legitimate victim of a smear campaign.
The time for "anonymous sources" is over. No more. Back up the information, or don't publish.
Maybe I exaggerated a bit but for me they rob the impact of the story when others can be concerned about how the information was gained. Also it sets a bad precedent for when the dems are in power. * depending on how the information. Was gained *. And at the end of the day the information really is t anything that is all that shocking - it’s what I have (and many have) expected all along
I am reminded of the joke, "Other than that, how was the play, Mrs. Lincoln?"
I know how the information was gained: someone leaked it! I am surprised it took this long.
Was it an IRS employee who leaked it in violation of federal law? Was it someone at the accounting firm Trump uses? Maybe we will find out some day, maybe not.
To me the most amazing revelation is that he got paid nearly HALF-A-BILLION for the Apprentice! I really think we should start taxing our OTA networks for their use of the public airwaves, if they have that much $$ to throw around.
