    Romney’s accounting firm, PricewaterhouseCoopers, said there is no evidence any Romney tax files were stolen. The letter said the returns were stolen in late August during a Watergate-style break-in at the company’s accounting offices in Franklin, Tenn.

    A Tennessee Republican official, Jean Barwick, confirmed she received the letter and an encrypted flash drive, and said she turned them over to the Secret Service. She was not able to confirm that copies of any tax returns were stored on the flash drive.

    Secret Service spokesman Edwin Donovan confirmed the agency is investigating.

    SNIFF, SNIFF, SNIFF.

    Smells like dirty rotten Chicago politics to me. Can’t wait to find out who is responsible. Hope they figure it out soon.

    Personally, I do not think that he is hiding anything except for the fact that maybe he made too much money or maybe his money was out of the country but that is his business and I am just guessing.
