The maximum penalty for unauthorized disclosure of a tax return is apparently 5 years in jail.

Someone needs to just break the law and release a damning Trump tax return, it would be an heroic act of extreme selflessness and lets be honest after a maximum 5 years in jail they would almost certainly come out to one massive, massive GoFundMe windfall.

but uh yeah even by the "throw it on the pile" methodology, these polls put Trump in a position where hes about as likely to win OH and FL as Clinton is to win NC

bearing in mind he has to win all three, plus a bunch of other places, some of which hes polling terribly in, to actually win

The Washington Post is going to find this loving painting if it kills them (and I wholeheartedly salute their reporting):

https://www.washingtonpost.com/poli...1dc7_story.html

If the painting is still hanging in the club, “it’s on display, in his business enterprise. It’s not on display in a charitable enterprise. It is arguably enhancing the experience of playing golf there,” said Marc Owens, the former director of the IRS division overseeing tax-exempt enterprises. “It’s not a charitable use. It is a non-charitable use.”



"Arguably".

No, they don't, they just don't report in cross-tabs results that have a high MoE

I agree that it's a MoE issue why they don't report but the same crosstabs think it's okay to report results with ±8.5% ranges. If 18-34 and 35-44 have sample sizes with even larger ranges, I'm still skeptical of their age-based sampling.

No he got OTHERS to donate money to his foundation and used THEIR money to buy stupid poo poo like paintings. He's too cheap to give his own money to his own foundation.

LV screens are going to make assumptions, lots of them. Some will be more permissive [Q's], some will be less [Seltzer/CNN]. Theoretically an average of all of them put together gives you something closer to reality.

No, he got other people to donate to his foundation (that he sometimes tricked to get to donate), then made donations with that money to buy himself things and influence and claimed that it was his own money. Often these donations involved huge kickbacks, for instance he would donate (someone else's money) Palm Beach Police Association. So he solicited money for the organization from someone else saying it was going to them, funneled it into his charity, donated $75k to the Police Association which then turned around and rented his club for $275k.

I don't think anyone is accusing trump of donating any of his own money to charity. He bought the painting with other people's money.
