The most interesting aspect of the election frightened left on the issue of Romney's taxes is the actions of U.S. Senate leader Harry Reid.
Harry has been saying that someone from Bane Capital has been divulging information about Romney's taxes to him. THAT IS A FEDERAL CRIME AND A FELONY.
The IRS and the FBI should be investigating these allegations to find this person and determine the truth of what Harry is saying. If Harry lies at all, that also is a federal crime. Can you say Scooter Libby or Martha Stewart?
These are serious concerns and the IRS should be on top of this.
We all know that's not gonna happen, though.

No, you don't have the correct information. Bain, not Bane, Capital is not the US Government. It is a crime for persons who work for the IRS to divulge information. It is not illegal for a private person to repeat the information they were told by the taxpayer (non-payer). Senator Reid is attempting to provoke Rmoney to release his returns by stating the worst case scenario. He claims he was told that Rmoney didn't pay taxes. He did not claim he has seen the returns nor that he is able to verify the claim, only that he has been given this information. Mitt can disprove it one simple way.
As for his history regarding his tax returns. I suggest you review his tax data for the time he was running for governor of MA. He claimed to the p ress that his taxes would show that he always had been a resident of MA even when he was living in Utah for the Olympics. MA law requires a candidate for governor to be a resident for each year for 7 yrs prior to running. Well, trust me says Mitt, I am a eligible, until he is forced by an investigation and it turns out he filed as a Utah resident in Utah, got a huge (over $40,000 tax credit there for his house) and filed his MA taxes as a nonresident, and he signed these forms under penalty of perjury.
Of course he then claimed he never actually reads his returns he just signs them. He does have a law degree by the way. So Mitt then retroactively changed his residency on his taxes, like he retroactively resigned from Bain. By the way at those eligibility hearings which happened after the 1999 Bain retirement retroactive date, Rmoney explained that of course he was a Mass resident as he was busy with his running of Bain.
So when Mitt tells you there is nothing to see in his taxes, he has a history of lying, or as he puts it, he doesn't know what is in them he just signs them. The AP asked if the he ever paid lower than the 13% rate in the one released year and he said he'd get back to them with information. They are still waiting.
I am typing this from memory and may have some minor details wrong, but the thrust of the post is correct.
