On July 12th Reid said Romney paid no taxes for a number of years (& yesterday claimed a Bain

investor told him a similar story.

One of the most interesting things is that in all this time Romney has not pushed back, has not tried to discredit Reid in any way or otherwise responded, the obvious conclusion is that there is some substantial there there!!!

Here is the link for the double story:

1. Beware. Might be a trick.

2. Here are two DU links that warn of such a possible trick:

6. It's not a trick. Romney keeps EVERYTHING secret, as much as possible.

Always has. He thought he could continue to do so and this would all blow over.

I bet there's something bigger than zero taxes lurking in there. I bet he took advantage of the 2009 amnesty against criminal charges for unreported Swiss bank accounts.

3. really interesting. Rumors flourish in the absence of info.

4. If the rumors had no substance, whay have not Romney and Fox attacked Reid?

They could be waiting for the perfect time, or . . .

5. I've heard very little on the M$M about this.

7. Yes, I'm surprised at how little I've heard. But at Romneys' next press conference

it will be impossible to ignore. Questions will begin: "Governor, Harry Reid has maintained you paid no taxes for ten years, how do you respond to that? What prevents you from releasing the returns now to disprove Reid?" Etc.
