Is Harry Reid’s Bain-Investor Friend the Gawker Leaker?

Is Harry Reid’s Bain-Investor Friend the Gawker Leaker?
Posted by Beverly Mann | 8/23/2012 05:31:00 PM

Having now read the Gawker articles http://gawker.com/5936873 summarizing some of the Bain documents leaked to Gawker and published there today, it seems to me likely that the leaker of the documents is also Harry Reid’s source for Reid’s allegation that Romney paid no taxes for at least a decade, and that the leaker believes that the documents suggest either that Romney paid nowhere near the 13% per year that he claims to have paid, or that in 2009 Romney back-paid taxes as part of the IRS’s temporary amnesty program that year, so that his annual tax rate then came to at least 13%.
