2016 Postmortem
Related: About this forumMan, Odonnell eviscerated Romney on his taxes tonight.
Point after point after point.
Relentless, on point.
Each subsequent point more damaging than the next.
A third of senior Romney campaign staff time is going to be spent tomorrow trying to formulate responses to the first 5 minutes of LO.
This is like one of those cartoon snowballs that just keeps building up and up and up.
Now the rest of the Republicans are going to have to decide whether or not they are going to let each of them get tagged with the same mud that is hitting Romney, and there is going to be 109 more days of this.
I can't see how this will continue, and Romney isn't going to give the taxes.
Paul is still out there and they aren't going away at the convention.
Man is this going to get messy before it really gets messy.

Bain Capital started with help of offshore investors

"Did Bain serve as a tax haven for foreign criminals? As Shaxson explains, Private equity is one channel for this secrecy-shrouded foreign money to enter the United States, and a filing for Mitt Romneys first $37 million Bain Capital Fund, of 1984, provides a rare window into this. One foreign investor, of $2 million, was the newspaper tycoon, tax evader, and fraudster Robert Maxwell, who fell from his yacht, and drowned, off of the Canary Islands in 1991 in strange circumstances, after looting his companys pension fund. The Bain filing also names Eduardo Poma, a member of one of the 14 families oligarchy that has controlled most of El Salvadors wealth for decades; oddly, Poma is listed as sharing a Miami address with two anonymous companies that invested $1.5 million between them. The filings also show a Geneva-based trustee overseeing a trust that invested $2.5 million, a Bahamas corporation that put in $3 million, and three corporations in the tax haven of Panama, historically a favored destination for Latin-American dirty moneyone of the filthiest money-laundering sinks in the world, as a US Customs official once put it.
