NYT Columnist Encourages IRS Agents To Commit Felony By Leaking Trump’s Taxes
The Daily Caller ^ | March 6, 2017 | By Chuck Ross

A New York Times columnist is encouraging IRS employees to commit a felony by leaking Donald Trump’s tax returns to his newspaper.

“If you’re in IRS and have a certain president’s tax return that you’d like to leak, my address is: NYT, 620 Eighth Ave, NY NY 10018,” Nicholas Kristof wrote on Twitter on Sunday.

Kristof, a liberal who writes about global affairs, was responding to a tweet from Vox.com editor Matt Yglesias who marveled that the IRS rarely leaks tax information.

One reason for that is because doing so constitutes a felony. The unauthorized release of an individuals’ tax returns is punishable by a fine of $5,000 and up to five years in prison. Leakers would also likely face a series of professional sanctions.

Trump has refused to release his taxes, claiming that they are under audit. The Republican flirted with the idea of releasing the documents during the presidential campaign but never followed through. . .

It’s not a “crime” when done in the name of leftist righteousness.

If the IRS criminals were smart, they would hold them and try to negotiate a settlement with the DOJ, considering there’s a whole lot of stink at the IRS. People should be going to jail and losing jobs.

Kristof is a Marxist; Yglesias is a member of the old Journolist group and a Soros toady; Maddow is..., well you can fill in that blank. This is a swamp that badly needs draining.

Kristof is also the guy who whipped up the witch hunt against Steve Hatfield over the anthrax killings in 2001—fingering him as guilty because he had spent some time in Rhodesia or South Africa when it was under white minority rule.

Apparently she has his 2005 return which doesn’t reveal much that’s interesting. The main story is the fact that the deep state is once again trying to sabotage Trump. She’s trying to find connections to Russia. Seems pretty useless since they are more than 10 years old. He wasn’t running for office then.

I encourage everyone to spit in the face of any NYTimes employee.

Do people somehow believe that Trump does his own taxes? Do they actually think he has anything to do with filing or even collecting the data for the filing of his taxes?

He doesn’t do his own taxes!

When you go into the small towns of middle America. Towns that once where bustling and now only have a closed bank and grocery store to match the closed local factory. But somehow there is an H & R Block office and a Hewitt Jackson office all for the purpose of doing the taxes of the people who don’t even have enough extra income to maintain a local grocer. They are so broke they could file the 1040-EZ and that is too complicated. You know damn well that Donald J. Trump Billionaire, who owns a mansion, several, and a yacht is NOT doing his own taxes!

Nor would he even go to ONE audit meeting!

I’m watching. Big, fat nothingburger. Nothing but speculation and they are trying to tie him to the Mob. Unreal. What drivel.

ANYONE WATCHING TUCKER TONIGHT???? I can’t believe what I’m hearing.

Tuck and his guest were talking about the felony committed with the release of Trump’s tax returns.

Tuck’s guest said Rather was fired after he went on air with a leak concerning Bush’s stent in the Texas Air National Guard.

That wasn’t a leak...That was a fraud!

That night on Free Republic “Buckhead” posted that the print was wrong. It was computer spacing not typewriter spaced as the document should have been back then. That sunk Rather. That was a fun night on FR!
