Also Banqet is has had this for a least a month since he mentioned he'd go to jail to publish trumps taxes and the article mentions Trump as threatened to sue them for publishing this.

Clinton's campaign seems to have been holding onto all of their oppo research until October
That seems like a smart strategy

Trump just insinuated that Hillary's cheated on Bill. This guy...
I expect that to get some play.

Hillary's got some primo material for the next debate, if she can find a way to work it into her answers without being too harsh for the town hall audience.

Yes, most do.
Our system wouldn't function if they didn't
and they wouldn't fight marginal income increases if they didn't
He just used the existing laws to his advantage. Nothing to see here.
Just shows he's not a billionair!!!
I guess he heard the news about his taxes before going on

I feel like Clinton has a calendar up in the campaign office with little post-it notes that relate to all the oppo they are rumored to have.
It's quite obvious they are feeding the info to the press and have it lined up through the debates. If they are dropping this stuff now I only see this getting significantly worse for him.

What if Clinton's oppo research culminates to
"Donald, if you won't release your tax returns, I will"
(Pulls out giant folder and slams it on podium)
Third debate is her just flipping through them and reciting key points

What network is that on again?
This is the best point, the bestest point even.
That shit isn't going to fly with blue collar workers. Especially when he talks about taking advantage of workers and him not releasing his taxes adds to all of this.

It's definitely legal, but it is sort of shitty. I mean, Romney didn't do anything illegal either and yet he hid his taxes until he absolutely couldn't anymore. I think there's more in here that will be coming out.

Optics apply to Hillary as much as they do Trump. It doesn't matter if it's legal or not, he's going around saying the common man is getting cheated, and here he is not paying his fair share.
This is the week that just keeps on giving I see.
Not only will that stupid out of context quote fall to the wayside, but now the Dems have proof as to the extent of Donald's business failings/ tax avoidance that they can slam him with in the next couple of debates. It probably wont end up changing too many people's minds, but it will at least be a nice moral victory if nothing else.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Most people already know this, though. Plus, most blue collar workers who vote for him are not voting him for his tax record.
Care to share why?
Right--I agree with this. Just that this doesn't mean a ton in the grand scheme of things.

But he already admitted in the debate he didn't pay taxes.
If it was a handwritten return address, gotta think Trump will have handwriting experts and testing everyone in the building and going full paranoid mode.

You mean the debate that damaged and unhinged him? And now Trump is going to respond to this and make this tax story stick for a few more days.

Cruz, Bush, and Rubio have the worst oppo teams of all time.
Hasn't he always said "I know how to take advantage of the system so that means I can fix it."
I mean I get that the optics look bad, but it's not like any of his fans will be turned off by this. I doubt they give a crap if he pays taxes or not. They just want those damn foreigners out.

Again who gives a shit about his fans? They believe any conspiracy theory. Shit like this though just exposes him as a hypocrite to undecideds and other Republican voters.
He says he does all this shit. Gives to so many charities yet he isn't and isn't paying his fair share.
Remember at the debate when he said it made him "smart" because he doesn't pay taxes? And there was at least one guy in the focus group that said that completely turned him off. I imagine that's the same for others. I mean there's a reason Hillary gained in the polls after that debate.

I asked someone who knows this kind of law and work fairly well, and two things mentioned were that this reveals that he's probably not worth all that much (shocking!) and that he's probably declaring such a low salary, that $6100 figure, so he can avoid paying into social services like medicare. This is going off of me relaying select quotes, and obviously not having said full returns to view.

We do not care about his fans. They can follow him to the gates of hell and back. Who cares. What we care about is the 5-10% of the electorate that is persuadable, Like, this is how elections work! No one goes after the hardcore people, you get the soft supporters.
So, if you're a blue collar worker in Ohio who isn't sure who to vote for, but you pay your 15% tax on your $35,000 a year....this might speak to you. Like, really.

Yep. There's a reason Trump has been desperately trying to hide this.
OG Queen, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, has an oped in the NYT tomorrow. So glad I got to see her work from the bench in April 2015.
