The Washington Post considers him to be a hero. As a matter of fact, they claim they would do the same thing:

Washington Post associate editor Bob Woodward, who joined Baquet on the Harvard panel and also said he would risk jail to publish Trump's tax returns, joked during the talk that in the event of a criminal conviction, perhaps everyone in the newsroom could serve one day of the sentence.

"Everyone in the newsroom," he joked. It is telling that everyone in the newsroom (or at least many as I know he was joking but I think many would for sure) at the Washington Post is so biased against Trump that they are willing to break the law to expose his tax returns. These are taxes that the IRS has presumably found nothing illegal with. These are taxes that Trump does not legally have to release to be President. Yet despite this, the entire Washington Post newsroom is so opposed to Trump that they are willing to alternate days in jail to bring out his tax returns so they can find something that he did legally (like what is in the 1995 return) and use it against him to help Hillary.

Would the NYT and WaPo risk so much to get their hands on Hillary's deleted emails?

They don’t care. And they are banking on the LIVs to not care that Trump had deductible losses that offset his gains. LIVs hate anyone who makes money as they have been conditioned to believe that rich people should support them, in the same lifestyle that rich people have. LIVs are the parasites that the Left will eventually force to work, at substandard wages, when the Left finally takes over this country completely and pounds us all into the sand, so to speak.

The New York Times executive editor said during a visit to Harvard in September that he would risk jail to publish Donald Trump's tax returns.

May take a few years in court, but by this time in the next election cycle the NY Slimes will be under Trump ownership.

They have nothing here as the article admits it raises the possibility he has paid no federal taxes for nearly two decades.The article also admits all they have is the first page of his state income tax that first, is illegal to publish, and second, the info they have has nothing to do with federal taxes. So, they are guessing at something they have no information to prove. Unless they are doing it on purpose to fool the public and chase votes away from Trump on purpose. And they will have to admit they were wrong on page 110 of one of their next issues to keep from getting a suit laid on them.

But the damage has been done because the public is reacting like Trump has done something criminal they are wording in a way where it appears to be something else they supposedly said. Mission accomplished. They dirtied him by allowing the public to misinterpret the article incorrectly through suggestion. red

I don’t think they’d be laughing very much if everyone
in the newsroom got five years each.

Or would their defense be, “We were just following orders!”.

The answer is NO they would NEVER risk a DAMNED thing to get HELLARY’S email, BUT also CLINTON was IN CHARGE of the tax code in 1995!!!! So if HELLARY wants to complain about the tax code for billionaires she can look straight at HER HUSBAND in 1995!!!!

NYT risks legal trouble

Bob Woodward. . . said he would risk jail

Nudge, nudge, wink, wink. Of course they would "risk" it. I'm sure Loretta Lynch's Just Us Department is staging an emergency, all hands meeting this morning in DC in order to pursue an indictment against the NYT.

The Chicago Tribune somehow managed to unseal a sealed divorce agreement against Zero's opponent for Senate in Illinois, which is ultimately how we got Zippy in office. They paid no price whatsoever for that disgusting and likely illegal action. America sure did, though.

These media slime can do ANYTHING against a Republican and pay no penalty whatsoever. Ann Coulter's quote about Timothy McVey and the New York Times is appropriate here.

EXCELLENT question. According to the MSM charges of criminality should not be leveled against criminals, but honesty and decency prove the corruption of good people.

Great! I would be more than happy to see these traitorous, anti-American propagandists in prison. It looks like they have little to show for their law breaking too.

Donald Trump is a citizen of the United States. As long as the democratic party and cronies exist, NO Citizen is safe! What they did to Don, they will do to ANYBODY, and they have. Just ask Bill Clinton’s women!

Hellary and co-conspirator NYT just proven them truthful.

Risked legal trouble? From what government agency?

They are probably the ones who mailed the returns.

"the pages were mailed last month to Susanne Craig"

Mailed by whom? It seems there are only two possible sources: the IRS, or Trump's own accountants. The possibility that the IRS illegally leaked tax documents of a presidential candidate one month before the election should send chills up the spine of any decent American. The IRS has already been accused of targeting conservative groups, and this would be the last straw.

I think this will help Trump. Undecided voters will see a vote for Hillary as a vote to continue this kind of governmental abuse.

They, the NYT are democRATs. They are Stalin’s useful idiots. Loyal foot soldiers for the revolution.

Lynch’s DOJ, nor the IRS will prosecute them.

Maybe a Trump DOJ or IRS will.

If the NY Times is willing to break the law to bash Trump, why should readers trust their ethics in any other story?
