The most pertinent point that O'Donnell makes is --- if, as Ann Romney vehemently claims, she and her husband's steadfast refusal to release any more tax returns other than the 2010 and the as yet unseen 2011 filings, is because people would "go after" them --- if there are no improprieties and no shady dealings, what motive would anyone then have to "go after" them for?
It is undeniably obvious at this point that Willard is hiding something that would be fatally damaging to his Executive Office aspirations in those 2009 and prior returns.
As Mark Karlin at Truthout.org speculates, the fatally damaging details in those returns may just be that:
"Romney may have taken advantage of a 2009 IRS amnesty period to disclose income hidden in offshore accounts but subject to US taxation. The amnesty offer allowed such persons to escape potential criminal prosecution for tax evasion."

In other words, in order to avoid FELONY charges of unlawful tax evasion, Willard surrendered himself to that 2009 IRS amnesty program to save his corrupt hide from criminal charges being brought against him.
It makes all the sense in the world to me, and Willard could clear up that type of speculation in an instant by simply releasing several more years of his returns from 2009 and prior.
The more he and his wife bluster about "privacy" and people using the taxes issue as "ammunition" against them, the deeper they dig their own political grave hole.
