BREAKING...Maddow: we've got Trump's tax returns!

[NYcarbineer]

lol, meanwhile, in real news, Trump's approval rating on Gallup sinks to 39%. This administration is in the real death spiral that the GOP is falsely trying to pin on Obamacare.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

Maddow forced the regressive Trump to release his tax return, and somebody silly regressively thinks Trump won?

I understand Espionage Laws just fine.

The Media in not insulated
From Sedition and Espionage Laws.

It is a felony to receive
Classified Information even for the Media and it is a felony to receive private financial records without signed authorization.

The Goverment has cut the Media too much slack for too long, and it's time to snap them back to reality and start prosecuting people.

The same goes for leakers and their accomplices.

Tax returns are not classified material. You are a fucking nut case. Tax returns have NOTHING to do with Sedition and Espionage. Oh shit I've heard it all now!

I can't post enough emojis for this. Holy shit... just stop man, you are fucking making yourself look like the biggest dumbass on this forum.

ONLY the taxpayer can release any part of a tax return. For anyone else to do so is a felony. IF, big IF, MSNBC had any moral standards or propriety, they would launch an investigation to find out who had broken Federal law and had stolen those two pages.

You may have never purchased a home or refinanced one. Copies of taxes are generally provided to the lender by the borrower. We saw the 1040 page with the stamp (Clients Copy) on TV last night, so Trump must have given the copy to another, willingly. If all of the schedules were included, which would be a normal practice given the security now required for a loan, it is likely more details on more schedules will see the light of day.

BTW, it is damn funny and karma that the Alt. Right/crazy right wingers have their panties in a tangle when two pages of Trumps taxes show up, and cheered when Wikileaks released volumes of personal correspondence by actual theft of Democrats E-Mails.

F'ng hysterical hypocrites got their comeuppance!

Lousy spin....Madcow and the left look ridiculous today

Pure speculation of course.
But that's all the Left has anymore.
Tax returns are still confidential.

I'll give you a +1 for at least saying it correctly, Confidential, not fucking Classified.

The meaning of the word Classified is dependent on context of course.

 

[JBond]

because if it truly is a crime to disseminate someone's tax information, the content of said tax return is meaningless.

And ask the people over at Gawker how far you can stretch journalistic privilege.

Big difference between a sex tape they PAID for...which is solicitation, and what happened last night. Insert another quarter and please try again.

So a journalist can release kiddie porn and be shielded?

I know this is an extreme example, but if the tax law states you cannot release someone's tax information without their knowledge (or a court order maybe) why does the journalists shield protect you?

Kiddie porn isn't the same thing. Kiddie porn isn't even in the same fucking galaxy as a tax return. Whomever sent out Trump's taxes broke the law, unless it was Trump or someone acting as his agent. Maddow and MSNBC did not pay for it and therefor as a journalist should could report on it without breaking the law. She also has Shield Laws that allow her to protect her source, though here those don't matter because the pages were mailed anonymously so she doesn't even know her source.

Both are illegal, one merely in the possession, the other to disseminate without the permission of the owner. Once they decided to release the information, they became part of the chain of release outside the limits imposed by the owner of said returns.

If the Tax returns actually showed something illegal, that would maybe give Maddow more of a shield from prosecution under the law, but the return shows nothing of the sort. How can she claim her actions were in the public interest when they show nothing but he paid taxes that year?

Are you either a tax lawyer or tax attorney? I am sure the real lawyers at NBC know what they are doing

They may know what they are doing, but that didn't help mad cow from being trolled like a MF'r. Trump ran circles around her on this one. Leaked his own return. Genius!

[TNHarley]

It's fairly obvious the Trump administration leaked the the partial tax return, of one year, with Trump's blessing.

Is that why he is saying whoever leaked it broke the law? Do you think he wants to arrest himself?

Please don't be so NAIVE!

Trump had those 2 pages released.....just like he had his State tax returns released during the campaign.....

For goodness sake, wake up....this is simply Trump shenanigans, to change the topic....it's Trump`s M/O!

Loony conspiracy theorists

 

[Geaux4it]

This liberal fail is on par with Geraldo Rivera's epic FAIL

[dannyboys]

Someone in the IRS must have leaked them specifically to her. Probably a fan of hers that wants to see her get the credit. Hopefully Trump gets his lawyers going on this right away.

Actually, if she releases them that is DOJ fodder.

why

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.

Watch and see what the DOJ does to man-brow.
The bull dyke just destroyed her career on national TV.
Oh the sweet irony!
The bitch is has been trying to destroy President Trump and instead she destroys herself.

Regardless of which end of the spectrum you occupy, it really is okay to lower your fists now and then and admit a screwup, or a weakness, or anything negative.

Left wing Slate does it here: Rachel Maddow Turned a Scoop on Donald Trump’s Taxes Into a Cynical, Self-Defeating Spectacle

Are there any Progressives who think this big tax revelation didn't go very well? That it may have actually helped Trump and the GOP?
.

That's why it's clear from a common sense perspective that this was engineered by Trump and his cohorts.

Once a con man, always a con man.

 

[Eaglewings]

LOL..she broke 0 laws...The finder of the taxes is a writer and a news person that has followed Trump for years and years...he knows the laws and what he can bring out to the open...

 

[dannyboys]

You can see the desperation on her face hoping this goes over big.

A smug bitch to be sure

The document in question was stamped, "Client Copy"; that should make even a conservative curious.

Maddow is still looking for her mind, which she lost on election night.

This didn't help her re-anchor her tether to reality.
