I agree that Reid is overreaching. However Romney is almost certain to have paid little to no taxes in 2008 and 2009, using capital losses from the tanking economy to offset any obligation he had in those years. That’s the reason he doesn’t want to release more, because if those two years come out then he’d have to release many more years worth of returns to show that the 2008/2009 returns were anomalous. Pretty soon he’s back in the Bain grey area of 1999 to 2002, where it would be interesting to see what he listed his primary profession as.

It’s possible that the story is fake but accurate. It may be an outright lie but it’s a lie that serves the greater good. Just like when Dems suggested Mitt committed a felony by lying to the FCC. It doesn’t have to be true to inflict political damage. I think they’re just flinging poo.
