Sen. Reid says @MittRomney didn't pay his taxes for 10 years. Your move, Mitt. #p2 #tcot

Quoting Huffpo:

Saying he had "no problem with somebody being really, really wealthy," Reid sat up in his chair a bit before stirring the pot further. A month or so ago, he said, a person who had invested with Bain Capital called his office.

"Harry, he didn't pay any taxes for 10 years," Reid recounted the person as saying.

"He didn't pay taxes for 10 years! Now, do I know that that's true? Well, I'm not certain," said Reid. "But obviously he can't release those tax returns. How would it look?

This is the easiest slam dunk in the world. Mitt Romney can make Harry Reid STFU and humiliate him for a good, long time, by releasing his tax returns and proving to everyone that he did, indeed, pay his taxes.

Let's see him do it.

Meanwhile in #Russia, Navalny charged with embezzlement.

navalny is being prosecuted for embezzlement in what looks like, and smells like, an attempt on Putin's part to censor an outspoken opponent of his administration.

Quoting the NYT:

Accelerating the Kremlin’s campaign against the country’s fledgling opposition, Russian investigators charged the blogger and anticorruption activist Aleksei Navalny on Tuesday with embezzlement, a crime that carries a sentence of up to 10 years. A previous case against him based on the same events was closed this spring in Kirov by prosecutors who said they had not found evidence of wrongdoing.

Chances are the prosecution will make their case - they almost always do, apparently, whether they have one or not - and that Navalny will get seven years. And Putin will silence a voice of dissent, again.

Of course, such a thing could never happen here, could it Mr. Siegelman?
