[Vanity] Do you think Trump leaked his own tax returns? If yes, why? If no, should he sue the NY T

No, not a chance

He better stay focused on who it is that he is running against.

He knows exactly who, and what, he is running against.

The MSM, the DNC, are supporting illary; they will twist reality to suit their agenda.

See justlurking’s post here, about the tax return and the “91”:

Maybe Mary Mapes typewriter was used?

The other 9's are OK.

If you read the original NY Times article, Trump's former accountant explains it.

The software he was using wouldn't print such a large number. So, he had to use a typewriter to insert the additional digits and hyphen.

And he should sue the heck out of them just for the principle.

There's a good chance the NY Times actually broke the law.

But, the timing of this indicates that Trump may have punked the Times:

1. A NY Times executive editor publicly stated on 9/10 (in a conference at Harvard) that he would risk jail to publish Trump's tax returns.
2. The NY Times reporter claims to have received the returns on 9/23.
3. Trump's former accountant authenticated the returns, which is a breach of client confidentiality. I really doubt he would have done it without Trump's permission, but the Times apparently didn't think to ask if he had it.
4. Trump immediately threatened legal action against the NY Times.

Given Trump's history of punking the media (search for "trump john miller"), I think this is something Trump would do.

Thank you.
