I used to go up against Stoller and Rosenberg and David Sirota and others at OpenLeft, and I imagine they were hoping to counter the others advocating for that new hopey changey bit in 2008 that would tear down the Red Queen and theoretically would give us a new day but instead gave us the no drama heavy on compromise approach, so that we can now say we tried the Clinton way without actually trying it. Hillary had policy papers written to actually try to implement things, as actual blueprints to dig into the sausage. The guys would rather yuck it up and after a few feeble stabs, say it's too hard. You know them boys. [Stoller actually had a pretty good piece in WaPo 2017 describing what an anchor weight Obama's policies and execution had been on Hillary's campaign - and while a guy could have cut Obama loose, she had to hug him closer or look unfaithful, a traitor, even while trying to talk her way around the accommodating approach she'd loathed]

Yes, Panama Papers came and went - what's up with that? While Trump tax cheat failed at drawing away the public's attention, I *don't* think it failed at getting local tax authorities to start tginking how they can recoup these losses, and Trump will be hard-pressed to pardon or pressure his way out of these - in jurisdictions where they simply detest him. Of course he may look for kompromat - it's surprising that this article came out in the Times, because theyve been acting pretty compromised and rumored to have been hacked in 2016 in a big way.

High-end tax-dodging — by rich liberals and rich conservatives and every variety in between — is the sausage factory of wealth inequality. It’s technical and no one really wants to fix it, as Matt points out, which is why it persists. https://t.co/4bAWcuN0nZ

If you click on the end link, it's a Politico piece by Jack Shafer making suggestions about how more people can be made to care about the NYTimes story.

And I came across Confessore's tweet because it was retweeted by Maggie Haberman. And then there's Matt Stoller involved in the convo too.

So I am seeing evidence that a lot of the major journos are concerned about the whole problem, it's definitely "a thing": they are thinking and talking about...not ignoring and not just always thinking about clicks for the clicks themselves and the next big story that I see a lot of people suggest from time to time....

Do I hear the phrase "no controlling legal authority" trying to slip out?

My takeaways on the @nytimes blockbuster story on the Trumps’ taxes: We should use it as a call to restructure our tax system so we tax people who work for their money less heavily — not more — than those born with a golden spoon in their mouth. https://t.co/1Hs8bZxNyN

WSJ has been crushing it on all fronts lately. If it's not headlining Susan Collins "consent" to Kavanaugh, it's excusing Trump's tax fraud because the laws he violated were somehow wrong. https://t.co/VQSdKAO68X

Happy Monday!

Hey, remember that time Donald Trump set up a sham corporation to vacuum up his father's wealth without have to pay taxes on it, and then used that same corporation to justify raising rents on his father's tenants?

Dems will want Trump's tax returns if they take control of the House or Senate, key lawmakers tell WSJ.

The Ways and Means chair can demand and receive any taxpayer's records from the IRS for confidential review and wouldn't need approval.https://t.co/0Lu5AfuHf5

Shut up liar! He's a crook and so are you for defending him! How dare the "Dem" ask Trump or the rich people to pay their fair share of taxes like every single American does? #TrumpTaxFraud #TrumpTaxEvader pic.twitter.com/2uFqCHcbM9

The truth is out. Trump didn't make it there (New York, New York) and didn't make it anywhere. Trump is a cheat who never paid taxes, but finds it perfectly acceptable to abuse tax payer dollars for weekend golf excursions.

Incredibly forthright defense of elite criminality in the WSJ. Trump doesn’t pay taxes, but who cares since no “compulsive accumulators” do: https://t.co/7rmhzpQiYT pic.twitter.com/tbYkVkkBDG

If anyone thinks the big Trump tax dodge story is history because it dropped on Kavanaugh week is gravely mistaken

Trump tax compliance needs investigation by a special counsel with nonpartisan fraud expertise
— David Frum (@davidfrum) October 7, 2018

The NYT story on Trump finances stops in 2004. Does anybody imagine that Trump's tax practices improved thereafter? Who is in charge of investigating whether the president has been honestly paying his taxes within the past decade?

The real swamp we must now drain: Revelations about Trump's tax cheating should fuel a new push to get big money out of politics

By David Cay Johnson @ NYDailyNews.com, Oct. 8

And then for the NYTimes Sunday edition print paper, which many people still purchase, there was a separate section reprint, convenient for your bathroom reading:

For anyone who missed it last week, the ⁦@nytimes⁩ reprints the extraordinary journalistic investigation of Trump's dubious tax schemes in today's print paper. A must-read by ⁦@DavidBarstow⁩ ⁦@susannecraig⁩ ⁦@russbuettner⁩ pic.twitter.com/g6KPF091bB
