Did 45 release his own tax form?

Here is a good read about why it might have been 45 that released his tax form :

Another interesting theory surfaces about why the 2005 return would be a favorable year to leak:

Donald Trump married Melania Knaus in 2005. She had been a permanent resident since 2001. She became a US citizen in 2006. Part of the US naturalization checklist the last 5 years tax returns OR the last 3 years tax returns if married to a US citizen, which would be in Melania's case:

2003 single filing...
2004 single filing...
2005 joint filing with DJT

Melania's citizenship depended on a squeaky clean join tax filing in 2005. This is why Trump, yesterday, leaked his own (partial) 2005 1040 form. It was the only year he was forced to play by the rules.

1. I don't think Trump did it; it was "John Barron."

But yes, makes sense he'd release the only clean tax return he ever had.

6. Or John Miller

Deflect from other stories (altho Rachel did a good recap of the Russia questions last night).

And there is sense in that reasoning.

You know, like Norman Bates and his mother in "Psycho"?

2. He does have a habit of tweeting something rediculous..

...when they are about to get some bad news.

Very well could be something to change it up a bit as more and more were saying his tweets were a distraction to something else.

3. I'm not as concerned with respect to him playing by the rules when it comes to his taxes.

The details I want are all more recent. I believe he is not only broke, but heavily in debt. I believe much of that debt puts our country at risk with him being CandC.
