They sat on this for a month? You better believe they vetted the ever living gently caress out of that before releasing it.

To be fair last month is any time before yesterday since it's the first so that's a good way to dodge naming a specific day to possibly protect a source.

Someone pointed out to me that this perfectly explains the charity thing - he has people donate to his charity instead of paying him because he can't take the charitable deduction when he's already paying no taxes. I'm not sure I buy that angle (because wouldn't that let him save more losses to carry-forward for a future year?), but it's interesting how it fits together.

Endorph posted:

There's no way this isn't legit. He said himself that he dodges taxes, and the way he dodges them is the only way that makes sense and the timeline adds up.

Well and like everyone remembers him losing a shitload of money that year with the casinos thing.

and that the accountant had to manually type in the first two digits of the loss because the computer software couldnt put in losses over 9,999,999 back then.

It could theoretically have used 24 bits for storing, but i cant imagine that wouldnt just use 32

Why would he leak the John Miller tape? I don't know, but he has been accused of doing so.

Presumably whatever logic justified leaking that tape might theoretically apply to the taxes as well, regardless of who did it, but especially if it was the same culprit both times.

Someone managed to get their hands on Trump's tax records? Whomever made it possible is a saint and I hope the NYT's response to Trump's lawyer threatening legal action over releasing the info was "lol bring it buddy."

Hopefully this is legit and not Bush Vietnam Documents 2.0 poo poo.

The NYT response is going to be "So, considering you didn't mention libel these are authentic right?"

I am intrigued by the question of who sent the documents to the Times. If this was an oppo research dump can you imagine the internal grin Hillary had when she heard him say "that's good business" knowing that the NYT was in possession of this document? Hillary's campaign HQ is in NYC too :tinfoil:

I don't know how financial software stores the values but I assume it's accurate to the cent, so 32 bits can only go down as far as approximately negative $21 million.

Haha, I know his former accountant is retired, so it's not like talking about this is damaging to him, but it's still funny that he's eager to just burn Trump on this. If he hadn't confirmed it so forcefully, the NYT might not have been able to run it.

So, question.

It was mentioned on the first few pages (and by PJ in pasts threads) that Trump may try to start poo poo after he loses. From what I understand, PJ's model has him losing hard and inciting sporadic but short lived violence. What happens if the election is like, really close. Does this give him more leverage to start something?

Imagine how hard it must suck to be sitting on all his tax retuns and be unable to release them legally

Like, if I were that dude be talked to by the Times, I would have been like "I cannot show you Mr. Trump's returns which are in that unlocked file cabinet over there, now if you excuse me, I will be in the other room for five minutes making coffee and will not be able to see or hear anything happening in this room"
