So far, it still seems pretty inscrutable—red herrings abound—as to who might be behind this (my guess would be it’s a Karl Rove or Daily Caller/Breitbart-related thing, maybe not) but with just a little over four days until the big reveal is promised, we won’t have to wait too long to find out.

I’m still wondering why no one has leaked Mitt Romney’s tax returns. Someone who doesn’t like him has copies, of this I have no doubt, but so far, crickets.  There’s already a leaked image of something associated with this that looks kinda “taxy” on BuzzFeed. Make of that what you will. It just as well might be a college student loan application listing Obama’s birthplace as Kenya,  or Romney’s Vietnam-era draft deferments, what do I know? (The same as the commenters at BuzzFeed, that’s what, no more and no less!)

The person behind this has been tweeting up a storm at the Twitter feed set up for this stunt all morning. Well cryptic countdown person, you’ve got my attention. Let’s see what you’ve got.

Update: There’s a fascinating piece about this mystery at the New York Observer. Still nothing conclusive, though. Everything the guy is saying could be totally true, all false or a mix of both. BuzzFeed apparently has deleted the account that posted the blurry documents.

Update two: They took the website down and closed the Twitter account!

According to Matt Drudge and Radar Online, Los Angeles-based lawyer Gloria Allred, who sank eBay CEO Meg Whitman’s bid for California governor, might be involved in a similar document dump. Allred, an Obama delegate at the DNC convention, isn’t saying.
