If anyone takes the so-called president down with good solid investigation and facts, it will be Rachel Maddow. Good for her. She needs to keep digging.

Yeah but it made for goodTV and that it blew up in his face has made him relevant today...Maddow may be shooting for the same type of fameIt reminds me of Geraldo Rivera and his fiasco with Al Capone's vault.To me the claim made by Maddow that "I have Trumps tax returns, be sure to tune in", just seemed like television to me, and I don't blame her, that's what she does for a living, no reason she should not be allowed to "promote" herself, but it was nothing more than advertising "licence", no substance at all from what I can tell.Hell idk, I was just trying to inform you of what I read.So was it real or a ruse to entice viewers?...if many questions were left unanswered then what was the point of demanding his tax returns? if they were not the tax returns they were demanding then claiming she had them was a lie...btw, citing Forbes quoting Maddow adds nothing in terms of legitimacy...and what's with calling a legal tax deduction a loophole? is that explained anywhere in the "article"?From Forbes :So how did this all turn out?...was it real or a ruse to get viewers to tune in? what did they reveal? [the answer to that last question will tell us if it was real or not]
Maddow said it showed that Trump reported over $150 million in income that year and paid $5.3 million in federal income tax and $31 million in alternative minimum tax. Many questions were left unanswered, including the sources of his income.
The investigative reporter and tax expert David Cay Johnston, who had obtained the 1040 in the mail and passed it on to Maddow, suggested Trump, himself, had sent him the document. Johnston he also emphasized how Trump used loopholes to secure a discounted income tax rate and that he believed the rest of the returns would show something that Trump may be trying to hide.
It seems legit considering the WH was saying they were breaking the law.
Because there are loopholes as to where you don't have to pay any tax. Deductions alone aren't going to drop his rate to like 3% or whatever that is.
Personally, I don't care. If people don't like the rich paying "their fair share" they should quit circle jerking to "tax the rich more" while keeping those loopholes. Circles of stupidity and all that.
Doing the same thing EVERY person would do.
The ugly bull dyke MadCow has officially achieved clown status on national TV. ...If anyone takes the so-called president down with good solid investigation and facts, it will be Rachel Maddow. Good for her. She needs to keep digging.
... 
Why do we care what his tax return was like 12 years ago?
Big f-ing deal.
The GOP lost seats in the House and the Senate, fact. 77 thousand votes in MI, MN, and WI does not a mandate make for the rest of America. No one has shown what law has been broken. And the far right transforming America? You guys are fumbing and bumbling, and America and the world is laughing at you freeks.Really, really? Show us the law she has broken.It is a felony for her to possess his tax returns.
No. She is protected as a journalist. She has special rights that you and I do not have.
Really? Show us the law that protects her.
Jake- You are everything wrong about America that Mr. Trump is trying to fix. That is why you and your Democrat buddies and rhino pubs were sent out of town on a rail. The people spoke because we were, and are tired of your leftist perception of the way America should be. Sorry, we were not ready to go down the crapper even though Obama had us circling the drain. Your unicorn, pixie dust envision of America does not exist. Well, not anymore since real Americans have spoken. Your time has passed. Suck it up buttercup -Geaux

Democrats have a very long history of supporting traitorous illegal acts and character assassinations..

How bout identity theft.
Look, Maddow can do whatever dykes do. But when that dude goes on TV she is part of the press; I.e., part of the purported constitutional Check on government power becoming too concentrated.
However, when the press, or factions therein, start choosing political sides then it can no longer fulfill this duty. A biased press is a corrupt press. They disguise this corruption by labeling it "investigative journalism".
The MSM is corrupt, MSNBC is corrupt, and Maddow is corrupt. Maddow was not breaking a story. Rather, she was perpetuating a narrative and trying to undermine Trump.

Yeah, what she did would hold up in court, journalistic sources, that stuff.Why do people keep arguing this? As a journalist who was given the information anonymously she did not break any laws. Holy shit you people need to learn the laws before starting 5 million threads and posts about this.
It is illegal to release someone's tax returns to the public without the taxpayer's consent.
26 U.S. Code § 6103 - Confidentiality and disclosure of returns and return information
See also Was it illegal to publish Trump’s tax returns without his consent?
Somebody broke the law. In addition, when Maddow and MSNBC had Trump's 2005 returns in their possession and then published them, THEY may have broken the law (there are First Amendment and public policy issues with the press, obviously). At the very least, they are publishing private documents that were illegally obtained. This is the height of sleaze.
Then, the return released shows that Trump pays quite a bit in income taxes, which does not even comport with the leftist narrative very well.
Somebody needs to sit that dude, Maddow, down and tell him that he is fucking up his career, even at a shit hole like MSNBC.

The bigger problem she has is the assist she gave Trump and the GOP with this stunt.
