The New York Times obtained 10 years of Donald Trump’s tax documents from his federal income tax returns — for the years 1985 – 1994.
To be clear, The Times did not obtain Trump’s actual tax returns, rather they obtained printouts from his IRS transcripts with numbers from his tax form, 1040, from an individual who had legal access to them.....
At first glance, it is being reported that Donald Trump core businesses (hotels, apartment buildings and casinos) took a $1.17 billion loss. Big deal, he’s in the real estate business which fluctuates all the time.
The Times also said that Trump didn’t pay federal income taxes for 8-10 years — of course this is normal for business owners as they can roll their losses over (net operating loss), but the stupid liberals don’t understand this concept and will surely use it to hammer Trump.

Someone is going to prison.
Let the liberal fascist media whores caterwaul all they want.
Dey can’t touch dat Trump!
from an individual who had legal access to them.....
Though this anonymous individual may have had “legal access” to them, he/she/it did not have the legal right to leak information to the media.
If the Times were reputable and professional, they would not publish this information. They would take the position that it was illegally leaked to them, even if this person allegedly had “legal access” to the tax information.
“Legal access” to private information does not mean legal right to leak to the media.

Let’s assume that is true. Was it LEGAL to hand it over to the NY Slimes?
We know it was unethical and improper, not that that would make a difference to the left.
35 to 25 years ago and Trump says these summaries are inaccurate. Show losses in years he admits were not good years. So?
All audited every year by federal state and city tax people. Bullet proof.
You don’t pay taxes on losses bitches. Get a clue. A big nothing burger again.
It’s time to sue the NYTimes into oblivion for publishing private information that’s illegally gained.
If it’s a crime for Julian assange - it’s a crime for the nytimes.
Was this disclosure legal?
Cohen???
Some speculation it was Cohen. In which case all his breaches of attorney client privilege are inappropriate.
I am disgusted that someone in a government position that is supposed to be trustworthy would fall so low as to sell personal information to the NY Slimes. Love to introduce whoever did this to a Louisville Slugger.
This is it! Brennan, Clapper, and Comey, let’s make a toast! We got the Bad Orange Man now!!!
Let’s see Pelosi’s taxes now.
Sue them for 275 Million dollars like the Covington kid. Sue them out of existence.
why does the government keep records for those past years so long ago?
Uh, obtains by unlawful means? And.......... no one will pay the price.
Having legal access and a legal right to make documents public are two different things. I wonder if we will learn who had this "legal access"?
