How did I not know this?

The link will be of a tweet of Senator Reed questioning Todd Blanche. Apparently the contractor who leaked Trump's return also leaked, at the same time, over 400,000 other returns. I am amazed that I had no idea.

The "case" is closed now, but if Trump had gotten his 10 billion, how much would the other 400K+ each got from the IRS? If you guessed zero, you are correct.
Trump made us think this was a deliberate attack on him, not that he was just one of over 400 thousand that were "harmed" in the data breech.
Even now he wants to set up a fund with no oversight, and no public records; one in which the money just goes out to whoever the 5 Trump sycophants decide should have it.
If the front door is locked, try the back door.
The amount has gone down, but the name of the game is still the same...grand theft.

Any bets on how much of the 1.8 billion in this new game disappears into the Trump family bank accounts. I'd say most of it. They'll have to keep some out to give the illusion of acting in a lawful manner, but lets not kid ourselves, it's his money, and he'll take what he wants from it.
