Maddow just tweeted she has Trumps tax returns

[woolfe9998]

If this really is 2 pages from 10 years ago, then it's probably not going to be a big thing. We'll see.

 

[Blackjack200]

The fact that it's 2005 returns make me a little suspicious that the leak might have been deliberate. Maddow said that the way the reporter got ahold of the taxes will be part of the story.

Trump is a scam artist. He was a scam artist in 2005 also. I think it will likely have some interesting stuff in it. Why would he not cheat in 2005?

looks like he beat her to it http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/polit...v-report/ar-AAolPs4?li=AA5a8k&ocid=spartandhp

I don't see where they released his tax returns. They simply stated how much he made and how much he paid.

we will see if it matches what she releases

Well, you'd have to trust what the trump admin is saying, I for one do not.

Goddammit, 20 min in and holding us in suspense.

Laying out some shady ass Trump shit in the lead up tho.

 

[ivwshane]

Looks like the numbers match!

 

[Blackjack200]

Okay, they just appeared in David Cay Johnston's mailbox. I'm deeply suspicious that this was planted. Johnston just suggested that it could have been him too.

I had guessed that because the lead up was so big, she had little to add to it, which seems to be the case. Wouldn't surprise me if Trump (et al) leaked this in a way to sit back and say "See! My taxes are totally normal! The fake news just proved I don't do anything wrong, even though they did it illegally!" so that people would eat it up.

Lame. If this was a legit leak, they'd have more than just 2005. This reeks of Trump shenanigans.

Well it shows Trump paid a lot more than $0 in income tax, so that's a win for him.

So these returns "just appeared" over night in the mail box of an investigative reporter?

Do they, by any chance, also reveal that D. Trump is actually Jesus? Because I wouldn't be surprised, TBH.

Rachel Maddow.

PFFFFFFFFFT

Wouldn't surprise me either esp if only his tax rate is revealed. Author said someone sent it to him.

If it only shows income it will take some pressure off committee investigation to subpoena rest of them. Remember hearing starts Mon.

 

[flexy]

Conclusion: Makes Trump look good.
And gives him even MORE reason to rant against the liberal media who "illegally obtained this"....and (hold your breath!!) a gay host not even to mention.
This will totally backfire and will NOT work in the left's/dem's favor.

Yup, guessing that they cherry picked the year.

Trump is right about Madcow, nobody watches.

 

[ivwshane]

Unfortunately, much ado about nothing. The most important part of his tax returns is missing, the past where it shows where his money came from.

 

[FIVR]

Exactly. It shows the exact opposite of what everyone expected: It shows he made money and paid taxes. Odd that it's one year from long ago, I wonder if his other tax returns are more interesting? Well, no point in searching for them now. The "tax return" scandal is dead.

Excellent move on the Trump campaign's part. This is reflexive control, I wouldn't be surprised if the KGB or SVR directed this leak themselves.

Interesting bit on the AMT. It's repeal would have saved him $35M if I caught the numbers right.

He would have paid 3.5% tax on $150M if the AMT didn't exist.

Stamp "CLIENT COPY" on these papers.

LOL

 

[bozack]

Well, you'd have to trust what the trump admin is saying, I for one do not.

I don't trust Maddow at all, wonder how it will play out showing he paid taxes.

 

[MomentsofSanity]

What a let down. I had a more fulfilling suspense build up this morning when I only farted on my way to work.
