MSNBC host Rachel Maddow set a new standard for over-hyping a television show with last Tuesday’s debacle regarding President Donald Trump’s federal income tax returns.
About an hour and a half before her usual 9 p.m. broadcast, Maddow was tweeting “breaking news” that she somehow had gotten copies of the Trump tax returns, and would reveal them on her show.
This news created a major publicity balloon that was almost immediately deflated when the White House scooped Maddow by releasing the topline news that Mr. Trump had paid $38 million in federal taxes on income of $150 million in 2005.
During the course of the 2016 presidential campaign, Donald Trump’s GOP primary opponents, the mainstream media, Democrats and finally Hillary Clinton pressured him to release his income tax returns for public scrutiny.
The GOP candidate said he would after the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) completed an audit that was underway. That position did nothing to satisfy his critics.
Learn how the Maddow “revelation” blew up in her face, subjected her to widespread humiliation, and actually benefited the President.
Maddow likely finds herself in legal jeopardy for breaking any laws regarding unauthorized release of tax return information. It all is explained on the next page.
They need to arrest her or at least deal with her in some way
Arrest her
Arrest her put in jail were she belongs
Nope public records. And this would never have been an issue if Drumpf released his tax returns. Which he specifically said he would release his tax returns immediately after he won the election. And of course he lied about that. Just like Trump lied about Mexico paying for his ineffective wall.
Both of you should move out!
Likely? Really?
We need a posted child to stop this nonsense and looks like she offered up herself. The proof has been broadcast far and wide
The media should try hiring some real Journalists.
NOW I READ SHE HAS STARTED SOME C**P WITH MELANIA….PRESIDENT TRUMP NEEDS TO MAKE AN EXAMPLE OF HER AND FILE CHARGES AGAINST HER FOR ILLEGALLY OBTAINING AND MAKING PUBLIC HIS TAX INFORMATION….THIS WILL STOP ONLY WHEN SOMEONE IS CHARGED AND DOES SOME JAIL TIME…OTHERS WILL BACK OFF
Nobody’s tax returns are public record….tax records have social security numbers and info no one wants public knowledge
