PM of Iceland has already resigned. There will be a lot that comes from this.

We all know this type of activity has been going on for quite some time. This is a leak I am going to enjoy. Wonder if this could through a last minute monkey wrench in to some candidate's Presidential run.

Yeah, a looooong time, the docs are from a 40-year span, I believe. So far, not many US citizens are on the list, and the ones that are appear to be standard "buy (a small amount of, relatively speaking) real estate or a (small, relatively speaking) company through a shell company to keep it hidden", not things like the Icelandic PM, Putin's buddies, or Assad's family, but ya never know what's gonna come up...
