Having now read the Gawker articles summarizing some of the Bain documents leaked to Gawker and published there today, it seems to me likely that the leaker of the documents is also Harry Reid’s source for Reid’s allegation that Romney paid no taxes for at least a decade, and that the leaker believes that the documents suggest either that Romney paid nowhere near the 13% per year that he claims to have paid, or that in 2009 Romney back-paid taxes as part of the IRS’s temporary amnesty program that year, so that his annual tax rate then came to at least 13%.

So did Reid ever provide any proof?
 
It's hard to prove a negative. Dirty Harry is a master tactician.

Still, I don't believe the accusation but I also think Romney has poorly decided not to release the returns. This will probably cost him many votes.
