I'm not buying this explanation. This information does not come from the copies of the actual tax returns, but from a database that contains the data entries extracted from those returns. The source of that data can only be the IRS, not even Trump's lawyer Cohen would have that format. This comes from an IRS insider and he/she has committed a felony. Deep State Crime in action
I second your motion!
I would expect a lawsuit very soon, nyslimes.
There is certainly good argument in favor of that. By leaking his returns he takes the pressure off the demands that he release them, without having to be put on the spot to defend or answer for each and every detail - which nearly all other candidates including Bernie have faced.
The NYT has given us a summary. They haven’t published the actual document, at least not yet. This gives him tactical advantages 1) he can decry the actions of his opponents 2) he can argue that the summary is inaccurate without specificity 3) he can selectively release information favorable to him without having to go into great detail - charitable donations, business successes etc. 4) the claims that he is “not as rich as he says” are sort of laughed away because the NYT basically showed us he has taken in over $1B without paying taxes on it, which also explaining why he didn’t have to pay any taxes on it.
And so much more. They actually reported he paid an effective rate of 25%. From this he can point to the low effective rates paid by entities identified with his detractors and claim moral superiority on one of their core political planks - “the rich paying their fair share”.

The only thing good coming out of facebook and google was to take the ad money from all these communist rags accross the country.
The only reason the NYT is around is because of special deals of visibility they have with social media. Other than that they would long be dead
Or...your medical records....
BUT IT’S TRUMP! HE MUST BE STOPPED! LAWS BE DAMNED! ~Every democrat, probably.
No need to sue. The drive-by media was complicit in an attempted coup. All can be shut down and see their assets seized. Every one of them who wrote a lie about Trump, or said one on-air, is eligible for a military trial at GITMO.
And?
That would reinforce their delusion of trump is a dictator... a lawsuit would seem more legit to ease the losses for the leftists...
Yeah, well, at this point I think America could use a little authoritarianism — at least until the libtard rot is cleaned out.
