Breaking.... Hacker Group Claims To Have Romney's Tax Returns

Mitt Romney’s tax returns are reportedly in the hands of a team of hackers who plan on releasing them publicly at the end of the month unless a ransom is paid. Like that would ever happen even if true.

The group allegedly obtained the files from PricewaterhouseCooper’s Tennessee office on Aug. 25, in what was described on PasteBin as a Mission Impossible-like caper:

Romney’s 1040 tax returns were taken from the PWC office 8/25/2012 by gaining access to the third floor via a gentleman working on the 3rd floor of the building. Once on the 3rd floor, the team moved down the stairs to the 2nd floor and setup shop in an empty office room. During the night, suite 260 was entered, and all available 1040 tax forms for Romney were copied. A package was sent to the PWC on suite 260 with a flash drive containing a copy of the 1040 files, plus copies were sent to the Democratic office in the county and copies were sent to the GOP office in the county at the beginning of the week also containing flash drives with copies of Romney’s tax returns before 2010. A scanned signature image for Mitt Romney from the 1040 forms were scanned and included with the packages, taken from earlier 1040 tax forms gathered and stored on the flash drives.

The files are to be released to the public on Sept. 28, according to the PasteBin document.

I saw this a short while ago... wanted to wait for it to show up on another site first... it's now on Current Tv's site... looking for others...

obviously, this is not cool the way they got the info, if the story proves legit... but, this will at least keep the issue alive as a topic of discussion in the MSM... 

Yes we know. If it's on the interwebs, it must be true.

This message was hidden by Jury decision. Hide  Hide fail, still showed up.

10. Well

If this is actually legit, then hopefully we can get Obama's school records next.

12. Dem Office.
Don't open the package...carefully document its chain of custody...and send it to the RNC. This reeks of a Rovian false flag operation.

Riiiiight.
Lots of  IT'S A TRAP!!!! Ruuuun

43. This highlights why it's important for Romney to release his taxes.
He's open for blackmail if he doesn't. And it doesn't really matter if the story is true or not, it points out the vulnerability.

You primitives are pathetic.

They are little monkeys flinging poo in there.

Gee, that sounds like a felony.  Sure hope no DUmbasses go to jail.  That would upset me.

Nerd ninjas.

A Watergate re-do. Obama and the dims have never had an original thought.

Mere possession of said documents, if it was true, would also be a felony.

Another thing, gang--what's PriceWaterhouseCooper doing with them?  Are they Romney's tax lawyers?

[Jasonw560]

And this brain trust admits they did it, and the step by step instructions on how they did it.

Too bad the Feds won't prosecute.

Hmmmmmm.....

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Let's assume for a second they actually did get Rmoney's tax returns.

So?

I doubt any of the little shitstains could decipher the tax code well enough to know if some crime had been committed. If it doesn't look like a welfare application they'd be lost.

Leftist idiots believing their own fantasies went and committed federal wire crimes to blackmail someone who pays a ton of money to lawyers and CPAs to cover his ass.

Yep stealing documents did wonders for Nixon's career.

You have just made a good argument for why 0bama should release his transcripts, and Eric Holder should releases the F and F documents. They are both wide open to blackmail now.

[hillneck]

This is all they have?  The DUmbasses never cease to amaze me in their level of sheer stupidity.  Hey DUmbasses, don't you think Obammer's little minions over at the IRS have already scrubbed over his returns?

I'm sure Geitner was happy to give his boss a copy of the returns. They didn't find anything illegal, but they found things that they could spin to the ignorant and try to make Romney look bad with. I'm convinced that is why they want him to release them so bad.

[thundley4]

This is just the cover story of how the returns will get made public.  In reality, one of Obama's minions just copied the documents from IRS files and released them.

I hadn't thought of that. Interesting theory, so they "leak" them to the media then they pretend that that is the first they saw of them and they run with whatever bullshit they prepared months ago to run with.

Ayep that's what's up. Watergate II. We already know because of the Klintons that the WH can access returns. Spin up a bullshit story about some hacker group who don't hack but burglerize, get a good month to start the media salivating and hungry. Release the edited returns a month before the election and watch the show while they crawl and slobber over each other to make it much worse than it really is. If you edit and fabricate then the campaign will be busy refuting rather than campaigning.

[jukin]

This has toast, Romney is legs in 24 business hours.

[Airwolf]

Hmm There might be something stinky here and it ain't us.

http://www.pwc.com/si/en/home/about-us/history.jhtml

I do not see anything here about individual tax services or anything that leads me to think PWC had much to do with Romnay as a person.

[whiffleball]

Hmmmmmm.....

My first thought on seeing that as well.

[miskie]

I like this response...

2. yea, well, I don't condone illegal breaking and entering

for any reason.

Having said that, it's Romney's fault for not releasing the stuff in the first place.

This primitive is actually using the line that they claim rape apologists use. Once I make a few edits....

2. yea, well, I don't condone rape

Having said that, it's the woman's fault for dressing like a slut in the first place.

classic "blame the victim".... from a classic idiot.

[Freeper]

I am seriously worried about what the 0bama campaign has cooked up for right before the election. I am certain they are holding onto something that is bogus, but they will release it and by the time Romney can counter it, the election will be over.

The left tried that shit with Scott Walker, but luckily enough people were paying enough attention to find out that the person in question was another man also named Scott Walker.

If Bain Capital was in Boston, why would the tax teturns be in the Nashville office, when there are offices on both Boston and Cambridge?

It makes it more believable that the hicks in Tennessee would have lax security to allow this to happen. You know, tin cans on strings tied to windows and that sort of thing.
