Reid: 'Extremely credible source' said Romney didn't pay taxes for decade

So that the right wing conspiracy theorists who think this is "Rathergate II" can shut up for once.

But other things are in there that he cannot reveal so we can say anything we want. It's slimy as hell. It's weird being on this side of it.

This is slow torture.

Harry Reid Romney Tax Tipster 'Is A Credible Person,' New Source Tells CNN
Posted: 08/02/2012 11:06 pm Updated: 08/02/2012 11:34 pm

A second source, said to be "close to Senator Reid," has told CNN's Dana Bash that Reid's original source for the claim that Mitt Romney "didn't pay any taxes for 10 years" exists, is a "Bain investor" and a "credible person." Dana Bash reported on this source, and the person's willingness to corroborate the allegation to which the Senate majority leader repeated on Thursday's airing of CNN's AC360.

As Bash told the show's host, Anderson Cooper:


"Whether we'll find it out ever," Bash added, "who knows? They're doing it on purpose, so this is the discussion."

Indeed, in the days since the Huffington Post first reported on Reid's claim, Reid has done nothing to back down. The Romney camp on Thursday responded by insisting that Reid "put up or shut up." Reid, on the other hand, has made it clear that the burden of disproving his claim lies with Romney.

Why on earth do Republicans support a candidate for President that is according to McCain a lesser candidate than THE SARAH...Americas most disappointing VP candidate EVER!

I think Reid is drawing the Repubs into a circular firing squad.

Many people have been exposed for dodging various taxes while being vetted for various government positions. The IRS will find that he has falsified his returns in a way to not pay taxes, and they will fine him!

and it would backfire.

Let Romney die a death with a thousand cuts rather than any part of Federal government do it with power. It will look like Obama is using the government (IRS) for political purposes like Nixon did.

Did he evade paying taxes that he owed?

Did he have sufficient funds withheld during the year that he didn't have to write checks to the IRS on April 15?

Did he have no net tax liability because of charitable contributions?

Are all of his investments tax-exempt?

What does it mean?

Reid says Bain investor makes claim. No ID. No substantiation. A month after the phone call. No clue if he was even a Bain in 2002 or before, when Romney was still CEO of Bain.

Reporter says another Anonymous knows who the investor is, and he could reasonably have a basis for his claim.

Perhaps a 3rd anonymous, hearsay witness will come forth.

Perhaps even to say which 10-year-period they're talking about. Didn't include 2010.

I for one think he is a "slick Willard". His objective is to never pay taxes and as has happened in the last 10 years increase his wealth by another 300% while taxing the middle class back into poverty and he is not alone...the Koch Bros, Addelson and Wall street moguls. It is the easiest way to buy congress and the presidency...with other peoples money!
