5. A federal statute makes it a felony “for any person to whom any federal tax return or return information is disclosed without authorization willfully to print or publish in any manner not provided by law any such return or return information.” A journalist receives from an anonymous source the old tax returns of a prominent politician who has refused to make her tax returns public.
