Boston Globe: Why some ‘secrets’ leaked while Trump’s tax returns haven’t

President Trump frequently complains about Washington leaks. But what he is really concerned about is that these leaks are not random. He believes that they are being deployed to harm his administration. (Of course, he had no problem with WikiLeaks’ leak of e-mails from the Democratic National Committee during the campaign. “I love WikiLeaks,” he said.) But the pattern of leaks is uneven and, in one area, that inconsistent pattern may well redound to Trump’s advantage: Despite all the information that has come out of this leaky administration, his tax returns remain confidential (except for a single year leaked by one of Trump’s former wives).

WNU Editor: With all the leaks that are now happening in Washington .... you would think that President Trump's tax returns would be one of the first things leaked. Apparently not. is the IRS that secured?

    I still think that Trump is playing his Obama card on this issue. Just like the birth certificate (that Trump bit on), let his opposition turn inside out (foolishly) trying to find "the truth"...and in the end, the truth is very uninteresting and reveals nothing unexpected.

    Would be a brilliant move if true...

    They probably haven't been leaked because there is nothing there to create hyperbole.

    Nothing to hide then you don't hide. What tax returns would reveal: his ventures in Russia. What we do know: the Trump brand name appears 4,300 times in accounts in Panama Papers, offshore tax hiding place. If all he did was legit, why would he conceal at this point since even many in his own party ask him to reveal his returns?

    I like fish that act like Fred.

    They hook themselves.

    The allegation has already been answered.

    Professional politicians structure their business dealings so that their tax returns present a certain way.

    Trump has not.

    For all the professional politicians posturing, they all seem to get filthy rich. Even the dumb ones.

    But 'lil ole Fred is watching the shiny object.
