You heard it here first, It would not surprise me one bit that the story released regarding the theft of and million dollar ransom for Mitt Romney's tax returns was actually staged by Romney or his supporters. What would be their motive? Well, Romney has taken quite the beating up politically for his refusal to release more than the most recent two years of taxes. With their truthful campaign honesty now in full question as a result of both conventions, Romney may well feel the need to have to announce his desire to release the tax returns.
But now, he can state, "As much as I would like to release more tax records , they were regrettably stolen. I will not pay the ransom as that only encourages and rewards the criminals. Unfortunately, I have no other copies, the McCain VP vetting offices have closed and disposed of the records I provided them four years ago. The IRS has originals but I have no authority to ask them to release my returns." As far fetched as this may sound, remember that the Utah Winter Olympics has also destroyed the records of Romney financial work on those games. I just have the feeling that their own fingerprints are all over this recent claimed Mission Impossible style theft of the tax records. It would not be the first time a desperate and paranoid Republican presidential committee conducted such an effort to serve their own elected best interests.
