    Going to prison for leaking the tax records that Trump said he absolutely would release if he ran for president?

      As if ANY of that nonsense matters in the least bit to the law.

        Why the hell would it? There is no legal requirement for a presidential candidate to provide tax returns. And there is a huge difference between voluntarily disclosing your own tax returns and an IRS agent exposing somebody else’s returns.
