Why didn't the NY Times tease this and then release it before the debate?

[GusFring]

This should be even bigger than it is right now.

1. Nah, the timing is perfect.

It has a couple of days to explode and completely saturate the media. And it will.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. They gave it a couple of days to percolate.

[Hoyt]

3. Deleted my stupid assed post.

[CanonRay]

4. There's a thousand leads and side trails to follow

this will have legs through November.

9. Indeed the NYT has said this will be an ongoing unfolding story as they dig into his tax docs

[dchill]

5. It's still baking. It will come out of the oven tomorrow.

And it will be hot.

[LizBeth]

6. First night on a Sunday. I am watching it grow and we are only starting. Just wait.

7. Will be interesting to see how Biden and the Dems use this

In the debate and otherwise. I think Biden making a statement in the debates that Trump only paid $750 in income taxes when the average American pays $X in year whatever will be powerful. The Reps and lawyers are saying he paid tons in Federal taxes but they are lumping in social security and such which clouds the issue. As Trump wants Biden to take a drug test, Biden should counter he will when Trump releases his tax returns in their entirety.

11. Absolutely not

Never, ever get into it with him on his terms.

Biden should comment, I have heard it from numerous sources that you have vast experience with Cocaine and Hookers I will leave these ridiculous demands for people like you to deal with, I am going to focus on doing what is right for the American electorate, not those that vote for me, but all Americans who share my values, work hard, and pay their taxes.

Leverage tRumps request to slam his ass and then slam his ass again.

[Hoyt]

8. Today is perfect. Gives both candidates a chance to prepare their comments.

[Chemisse]

10. It takes a few days to sink in to the collective national psyche.

First, everybody has to hear about it. Then the shock and/or confusion, getting the details straight, discussing it with others and listening to talk show opinions. Finally, you have to allow time for the jokes to get out there. That's crucial.

So the timing is just right, imo.

[rufus dog]

13. Yup

And the Biden camp will get the gist of what the MAGAts will try to use to deflect tomorrow. They get almost 48 hours to hear the spin, then work on the response.

[2naSalit]

16. I agree...

It needs a couple days to go through the process of settling in the collective psyche. This is great timing.

[BannonsLiver]

12. Today is Wednesday?

[sweetloukillbot]

14. For some it's never good enough... nt

[awesomerwb1]

15. More coming out tomorrow or Tuesday just watch

Timing is perfect, in fact Friday/Sat would've been ever better.

[uppityperson]

17. They did. More will come out before the debate.

[Blue_true]

18. I like the current timing. Trump is totally thrown off and people are making fun of him.

The last thing he wants is to be seen as a failure, which is exactly what he is.

The release also gives Joe some brutal debate takeoffs, about paying far more taxes than Trump, about how Trump personally underfunded police, firefighters, teachers, about how Trump is massively deeply in debt, and lastly, Joe can ping Trump about Trump only being a make believe billionaire. If Trump says fake news, Joe can say “well, you can release ten years of your tax returns, like I did, and let people decide for themselves”.

19. Biden would have a good talking point for the debate Tuesday.
