Wake Up Call: Trump Hires Kasowitz to Deal With Tax Report

[ffr]

• As Donald Trump contends with a New York Times report about the implications of his 1995 tax returns, he has turned for help to a New York firm he has used frequently, Kasowitz, Benson, Torres & Friedman. (American Lawyer)

A site subscription is required to see anything more. He's probably launching an investigation into who may have released the damning pages of his 1995 tax returns.

Hillary was right. His tax records must hold information that is damning to his election bid.

1. If he had two neurons to rub together....

He'd get ahead of this and just release his returns. This kind of bullshit is just gonna ensure this extends and extends.

3. That would assume he was not under audit for fruad

[Adrahil]

4. even so, this has become a a really big story now.

His refusal to release more is just going to make it bigger.

And attempting to sue someone just makes the "this is a GOOD story for him" narrative completely disintegrate.

5. I don't think he has an out here

I predict he tries to get his accountants to release some sort of return summary.

Sort of like his physical.

2. The beauty of this that Trump demands not just loyalty but unquestioned devotion

This must have set him off in a rage. Hilarious.

6. Just damning to his election bid?

More like damning to his entire world. Almost like if it is released his "business" will collapse, or he's going straight to jail.

7. It's going to be a loooooooong 35 days for Trump.
