Your tax returns are supposed to be private and no one in the IRS, the state tax office or your accountant’s office is supposed to release them unless there is a valid subpoena.

How the heck does the NY times get these? Mr. Trump should get a court order to keep the times from releasing these and someone at the Times or who released these should go to jail.

There are countless creatures of the swamp still embedded within government institutions.

The New York Times got them because a Federal judge ordered the IRS to turn them over to the state of New York.

Trump should deny that these are his actual returns, and challenge the Times to prove that they are. They would have to either put up or shut up, and putting up would require them to disclose how they got them, which would likely involve admitting their own lawbreaking.
