The IRS Scandal, Day 1031

IRS Logo 2Wall Street Journal: It’s Time for The Speech: Like JFK, Nixon and Obama, the Moment Is Now for a Big, Campaign-Saving Speech, by Daniel Henninger:

It’s time for The Speech. ...

Readers who have spent a lifetime absorbing the melodramas of America’s presidential election politics, such as this one, will recognize instantly what I am proposing here.

Can anyone give an example of a leading political figure's returns that were "leaked" by the IRS to the press? Anyone?

Trump is the one holding up his tax returns. It is illegal for the IRS to make public the tax returns of private citizens without a court order.
