Make ‘em public, asshole. See ya in prison.

No, on second thought, I won’t. You’ll be some huge black guy’s b**ch and will be FAR too busy.

Gotta be a fraud.

IF the obamunists got a hold of them, there's no way they'd ransom them.

And I think it's unlikely that some chump could break into a brick and mortar building and make off with paper copies.

Who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Barry is right. It is time that America be destroyed. The great America doesn’t exist anymore anyway.

Of course not. Rectal examinations only apply to Republicans.

Not passing the smell test.

Anyone smart enough to steal the records would be much better at maximizing the profit. That would not include sending encrypted copies to people with lots of money and/or government connections.

A small, confidential leak of redacted data to each side would have been the most profitable.

This is so ham-handed and stupid, the DemonRats must have done it.

I suspect Obama already has copies—Geithner oversees IRS.
If so, they might want to stage a phony break-in before leaking them.

Another possibility is that an employee of PWC is behind this.

Ransoming of tax records? I can't understand this new angle. Could it be Harry Reid already has the records and this activity is to divert attention. Why mess with an accounting firm when they have direct access to Romney's record via the IRS?

I fully expect to see some JonStewart media outlet breaking news before election day with a Romney tax expose. These liberals have invested a whole lot of money in OccupyWallStreet for the sole purpose of defeating Romney in November.

Oh, to make sure I am clear, I have no clue about who has what but something stinks when the only campaign these liberals can run on is Romney's tax returns.

You're joking, right? This kind of stuff gets you into a country club deal.

And likely a POTUS pardon.

This could produced the opposite, which means it can very wel help Romney to win bigtime because the Dems are being viewed more and more in truly in a very bad light.

Obama will make $10s of millions on POTUS pardons as he heads out the door next January.
