Larry, you can't read a simple statute.  What the two sections provide for is consequences for employees of federal, state or municipal government who have privileged access to IRS records. 

The Times got just the face sheet of one return snail mailed to them with info that led them to believe (postmark?) that it came from the Trump Tower itself. They verified that document with the 80-year-old now retired guy who prepared it, and so many others, for The Donald.

I suspect that some whistleblower Trump employee was in a big hurry to do this, pulling the stack out of a filing cabinet at lunchtime and xeroxing the top copy, then rushing to return it to the drawer.

That's just my guess. 

Do you have a better one?

Now every time you leave feedback at the ADN that makes some nonsensical contention, purporting those statements to be facts rather than fiction or opinion, you insult the intelligence of all others reading it. Do you think there's anything "inappropriate" about that?
