@bachophile I looked over and under where I could find something close to being that outrageous. Came up short.

The Hill's attempt to report on why the Democrats released Trump's tax returns.

Did he do anything illegal? If so, prosecute away.
If you're outraged, change the tax code.
I doubt that he was personally involved with these returns. This is how accountants make a living.

Is anyone going to be prosecuted for breaking Federal law in this case.

If the principal haven't done anything dubious to begin with, the accountant would have no raw material with which to craft questionable tax returns. After all, the accountant still make money when preparing 100% honest tax returns, with lower risks too.

There is already a guilty plea:

If you're really innocent, you don't need a lawyer, and you certainly don't need the 5th amendment, right?

Now prosecute the House Ways and Means Committee for the same crime.

As I said way way way back when, there are probably two reasons President Trump did not want to release his tax return
he wasn't as smart a business man as he claimed and didn't make as much money
he didn't donate very much money to charityI think if they examine the returns, I think both will probably be true.

Could very well be true.
Neither reason is enough for breaking the law.
ETA, regarding #1, how many men have gotten POORER during their presidency, (at least in the last 50 years)?

Still no call for prosecutions of those who broke federal law by releasing his taxes.
Oh well.
But be careful of what you wish for, you might get it.
Asked in a new Rasmussen Reports survey if the incoming GOP House majority should release the taxes of Democrats who voted to reveal Trump’s taxes, 54% said yes.
And it wasn’t just Republicans, 63%, and independents, 53%, but included more Democrats than not. Rasmussen said that 45% of Democrats wanted the taxes of the Trump critics released to 38% who didn’t.
The partisan divide was much wider on the overall question of releasing Trump’s taxes, which is to be completed Friday by House Democrats. Some 53% said they approved of the release to 40% who disapproved.
Democrats especially were supportive, with 79% approving of the release. Among Republicans, 63% disapproved.
Sunlight, and all.
I think it was Pelosi who claimed that releasing the tax returns of other politicians is "different" because they're not the president.

A very facile claim.

I think it's also true that most people would not begin to understand his tax returns. I'm not sure he would.
That he didn't take as much income as people might think in no way reflects how much he made.

True! I look at my W2, assemble the other deductions, hand everything over to the accountant, find out if I owe or not, then I put it in the file cabinet, and never even look at the return.

He didn't file 1040EZ?

".... the final nail in his coffin...."
A bunch of links about Trump's newly dumped tax forms — beginning with the screwiest one:
Yeah, thanks. I'll try not to let "cynics" dissuade me from pounding nails into coffins. What had stood out to me was that no one seemed to see any crimes, so it's certainly cheerful to have The Daily Beast come along and declare — who needs crimes? — that there's never been a better reason to throw Trump in prison.
