If you wanted to nail Trump..wouldn't you leak more than the summary page?

If this is all you have..why leak it at all?

This is a win win win for Trump.

Nothing in this return makes him look bad...it quiets the angry mob plus he get's to bash the dishonest media for leaking it.

1. This was "leaked" by 45

If it wasn't, he'd be whining about it already. He probably chose the return on which he actually paid some taxes to "leak".

I'm just not buying it.

4. The return was turned over to RM by David Cay Johnson

Would love to know how he got it.

7. It appeared in his mailbox this morning...

David Cay Johnston said on Rachel Maddow’s show an hour later that a copy of Donald Trump’s 1040 form from 2005 appeared in his mailbox this morning. He speculated that this could have been leaked by Donald Trump himself or potentially someone on Trump’s staff leaking the form at the president’s direction.

3. Alternate theory: If you wanted something from Trump and you wanted to

show him that you could do him some serious damage, how about leaking just the first two pages of a return without the schedules that show what he doesn't want shown?

Wonder who Vladimort has in Trump's finance office?

5. Showing trump you could do him some serious damage....

Will keep him up at night. He goes to pieces over the least threatening news.
Crowd size at the inaugural bugged the shit out of him.

[we can do it]

9. I like it.....maybe, or maybe not.

It brought up a good discussion either way, and other ways to look at things.

6. Until I see WHERE the income comes from this IS something to me.

8. It will be interesting to see if the WH initiates an investigation of the leaked tax return

I'm guessing they will not make a big stink..so far zero tweets from Trumpy the clown.

10. You might leak the first two pages as a test and a tease

wait and see the response from the press and the White House.
