I see a couple of problems with leaking this information.
First, they are not supposed to have this information. I think there is some serious legal aspects about having copies of someone else's federal tax returns. So Harry could get into serious trouble if the leak could be traced back to anyone who has ever spoken to Harry Reid. (I think the repubs have enough money to spend to track any leak down. Hell they could get congress to track the leak down with an investigation into Harry Reid. Saying he did something illegal.)
Another problem is they would claim that anything leaked is not true. They would say that the forms have been altered to make it look like Mittens has done something wrong. We would say well then prove it and this would turn RMoney into the victim. He would get a lot of sympathy because they would say he is being attacked. Faux news would play that up big time. (Actually I am kind of surprised the Repubs have not done this already.)
Just my opinion of course.
