Citing what they call an "impossible transaction" the campaign team for Wendy Long sent out a press release today accusing United States Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of filing a false tax return in 2010.
Here is a copy of the press release:
A cursory review of Senator Kirsten Gillibrand's taxes indicates a transaction that was impossible. But the New York Times refused to even examine the issue.
U.S. Senate candidate Wendy Long said, "Two things stand out here: we have a tax code that even a U.S. Senator can't get right and a liberal media goliath that is playing one side of this election. Neither is surprising, and both are wrong."
Long added, "Senator Gillibrand has a history of 'shorting' America, but did she short the taxpayers too? The New York Times doesn't care."
Kirsten Gillibrand's 2010 tax return shows that she purchased 80 "shares" of Sears Holding Corp. ("Sears") for $22,780 on January 12, 2010. Her return shows that the 80 "shares" were sold on June 21, 2010 for $23,980. This is impossible.

Uh-oh... this might trim her lead all the way down to 45 points. She’s toast. ;-)
Paying taxes is something new to her
Party affiliation.
OMG WHAT PARTY?
Share price
Is this the person, Harry Reid was all gaga about?
You’re a n00b so let me explain how this works - it’s only lying, stealing, incompotence and corruption when conservatives do it.
For liberals, these are all little errors that require no looking in to.
Clearly Long is being sandbagged. Why else send out important information like this when on a Friday afternoon as the middle east burns. Who will ever hear bout it?
Taxes are for the little people.
I believe those are options on Sears and not the shares so the price would seem “impossible”. Sorry challenger... no cigar.
If this is true, it’ll be chalked up to an accountant’s error or some such excuse. The media will leave it alone.
The ****ing Secretary of the Treasury is a known tax cheat. Give me a break.
So her tax return shows a gain (for which she would owe tax) rather than a loss (which would reduce her tax)
She’s pretty, so it does not matter what she says or does or if she obeys the law.
Democratic reaction: “It’s nobody’s business, and when’s Mitt going to release his tax returns?”
