The biggest news out of NYT’s “bombshell” on Trump’s taxes is that it has flattened a conspiracy theory among Democrats & the media, popular in 2016-17, that Trump was hiding his taxes because of an illicit connection to Russia.
I’ve got some apology candidates...

You may remember that, back when “Russian collusion“ was the talk of the town, countless pieces and tweets surmised that Trump hadn’t released his taxes because they would be filled with Russian connections.
Well, they weren’t. Wonder if we’ll get any follow up from @ewarren? EXAMPLE

Or perhaps @HillaryClinton, who made this conspiracy theory a component of her 2016 campaign, will be interested in following up? EXAMPLE
