JUAN WILLIAMS (CO-HOST): Eric, how does this play with working men in America that sees Trump maybe as the great disruptor, is this -- a guy who didn't pay his taxes?

ERIC BOLLING (CO-HOST): Listen, I think I would go on the counter offensive and say, "New York Times I'm going to sue you and sue whoever leaked that information to you." Because that's illegal. And as far as I understand, You are not allowed to take someone's private tax returns and then share it. And I think I saw Judge [Andrew] Napolitano, I could be wrong, but I think Judge said, “If you knowingly do this,” as New York Times did “and publish it, you could be on the hook too.” I would go right out and --

GREG GUTFELD (CO-HOST): But wait, you're okay with Assange and all those other guys leaking private stuff? I don't get it.

BOLLING: No, but it's the point about printing it. And --

GUTFELD: What?  You don't think those people print Assange stuff, or anything from what's his face, Snowden? The big hero?

BOLLING: Listen, I don't know.

GUTFELD: I don't know either. I think it's hypocritical. I'm against all leaking.
