Nice to know NYT was sitting on these emails for at least 2 full election cycles. Really hard to interpret this in any way other than "they like Trump and wanted him to win"

This is because Intuit, Inc. gave Donald Trump $1,000,000 for his "inauguration." Intuit owns Turbo Tax, which makes money off charging taxpayers to file their returns.
The corruption is rampant and in plain sight.
