Well, Daffodil, its responsibilities to insure that there is compliance with the law is far more comprehensive than the IRS, so it can use the disclosed data in a variety of contexts.
You may believe that the IRS is infallible, but that is very naĂŻve.
There are inconsistencies that demand clarification. E.g.,
Trump, who served as president from 2017 to 2021, reported heavy losses from his business enterprises over several years to offset hundreds of millions of dollars in income, according to news media reporting and trial testimony about his finances. That allowed him to pay very little in taxes.
In 2020, the New York Times, citing two decades of tax return data, said Trump paid no federal income tax in 10 of the 15 years through 2017 despite receiving $427.4 million in income from his reality television program and other endorsement and licensing deals through 2018. The newspaper reported that Trump paid just $750 in federal income tax in 2016 and 2017.
Trump in 2020 called the article "fake news." A Trump Organization lawyer in 2020 said that Trump "paid tens of millions of dollars in personal taxes to the federal government" over the prior decade.
How can the Committee leak them if someone named
"Maddow" had gotten
"a copy of his taxes and released them before he could, to the public, years ago"?
