🧵It's totally off-base. He's required to submit the most recent 5 yrs that *he has filed* and it ONLY applies to the primary ballot. #SB27 Expressly says if they haven't filed for the tax year immediately preceding the election they should submit w/in 5 days of filing. Newsom 1/

as far as we know had not filed his 2021 tax returns before the primary. He *had* filed his Form 700, which gives a lot of info but not the detail of a 1040. In other yrs he's shared select parts of his return w/selected journos in April, so IMO he got an extension to avoid 2/ 
having to release his tax returns, partly b/c of my reporting on his gifted mansion. What he DID release supports my theory - the LLC that purchased the mansion, which he and his wife were allegedly the only members of, isn't listed. He knew that I would dig into it. 3/
As far as "scrubbing" the returns, Weber is required by SB27 to remove them from the website once the primary election is certified, so there's nothing nefarious there. Link to bill text: leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billText…
