I believe that Harry Reid would not say that about Mitt's taxes without knowing something.
Stephanie Cutter has said she knows something about Mitt's taxes.
I think in October we will find out.
Thoughts???

I have to agree. I really hate to speculate at all, ever, but in this case it reeks of illegality.

And Reid and the Dems end up looking like a bunch of giant a-holes. Even so I think the thing has already settled into people's minds.

than not paying taxes if their are felonies than I have a feeling it is going to come out before the convention.
With creative accounting someone like Mitt can get away without paying taxes legally--Morally it will piss everyone off. BUT I think there is something illegal in those pages that is going to be a massive bomb shell.

My guess is residency is part of the issue, I bet he ran for office in MA while declaring as a resident of UT.

forward at some point, if need be, with some evidence.
