>> The NYT should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.

I don't remember you complaining this much about the New York Times since Judith Miller outed Valerie Plame as a CIA operative.

Oh wait. You didn't complain at all about that little matter.

Well obviously the publication of the cover page of someone's tax return (sent in directly from the Trump organization) is far more serious crime, LOL.

Do you think the reporter will sit as long in a jail cell as Judith Miller did before revealing her source? 85 days in jail, before Scooter Libby let her off the hook..

In this case, however, the document was sent anonymously, and confirmed by the CPA who prepared it.

"The tax software wouldn't accept input on the order of a loss of $900M, so we had to type it in on an IBM Selectric", ROFL.
