much like the way scorpions kill there Uber driver frogs at river crossings, we know the nature of unnamed bureaucrats..
But, wow, what a big juicy target that Trump tax return is. Would the NYT pay a leaker for it? I don't actually know. I'm guessing it's a federal crime to leak it, so probably they wouldn't pay.
Regardless, if that one hasn't leaked, it seems like the system is working pretty well.
