Federal prosecutors announced charges Friday against a contractor with the Internal Revenue Service who allegedly stole the tax returns of a high-ranking government official. A source familiar with the matter told CNN that official is former President Donald Trump.

Not to defend Trump in the slightest, but it was my understanding that the President isn’t actually required to release his taxes; it’s just a tradition that literally every other presidential candidate has conformed to. You know, to show that they’re trustworthy, which is why Trump never released his.
Yep, Trump showed how much of the government actually runs on norms and traditions instead of actual laws. Even some of the laws that he did break (like the Presidential Records Act) don’t actually specify penalties because Congress assumed it wasn’t necessary.
He did also promise he would do it but then refused to follow through
And his plan for healthcare reform is going to be released
next month tooany time now.If you’re running for President, you either disclose your tax returns or you don’t run. The tradition is there for a reason. I fully support jury nullification for this Littlejohn guy.
Not a legal requirement, just the “right thing to do”
I can’t wait to find a redcoat that hates this guy but loves Snowden.
