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:

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

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....

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.
