3D chess with a 30A brain size amateur.

There, I fixed it.

The guy who claims they were mailed to him has been obsessed w/Trump for years.

I wouldn’t be surprised if he followed him around and found out where his accountant was.

From there - dumpster diving till you’re lucky.

This is a warm up for the “wiretap” situation. He is waiting for everyone to place their bets. The people supposedly responsible seem awfully quiet.

“At what time did she say it was from 2005 return? It was stupid if she gave him advance warning. She must have or he would not have referred to 2005 in his response before the show.”

Actually that’s what reporters are SUPPOSED to do - which is to ask the person being attacked to confirm/deny the authenticity of the returns - since if they don’t deny it (as in this case), then the report has much more authority.

Of course that leaves the target free to jump the gun and leak it...but that’s the risk.

I can attest to the fact that an honest man/woman has nothing to fear.

You've been paying attention to the nonsense going on with the FBI and its deputy director plotting with his "disciples" to eff Trump and you think and honest man has nothing to fear. That is just naive.

What was exact time she said she had 2005 return? Had she not given the year, Trump would not have been able to pre-empt her with info about 2005. I have been searching but can’t find the time she said 2005.

If Trump leaked it, she really got suckered by giving the year ahead of time. It gave him the opportunity to make her look like a fool.

*******

Madcow’s first tweet was at 7:36 PM. She tweeted again at 8:24 PM that it was the 2005 1040 Form. Her show began at 9 PM.

I’m not sure when the White House issued its statement about Trump’s 2005 tax information, but I understand it was before Madcow got around to finally detailing what she had at about 9:24 PM.

If it was an insider’s intentional leak, it looks like they waited until Madcow reported enough for them to respond as a legitimate reaction to what she/he was reporting.

I don’t believe he would leak this because it makes him look very good - he would know that anyone in the fake media with half a brain wouldn’t put it on the air. I still can’t figure out why Maddow reported on it.

I don’t think it was put in anyone’s mailbox. I think it was from one of Obama’s minions in the IRS. Maybe a friend of Lois Lerner’s who is still on the inside.

These idiots actually believe Trump would put on his returns “Bribe from Putin”.

LOL... He does not play 3D chess. Those boards rotate. It is not just the variables of X Y and Z. Include rotation. Trump plays 4D chess and is the galactic grand master at it.

The 4D rules are very very hard to grasp.

The 3D ones are simple: https://sites.google.com/site/caroluschess/movies/star-trek/star-trek-3d-chess-rules

Scott Adams opined today that President Trump is bayoneting the final survivors of the Great November Media massacre.

He finished off Maddow yesterday... 😀

Had DJT openly released that tax return, it would have been pounced upon and waved about to “prove” anything the left wants to charge regardless of the content. The theory which has been in play for many years is that if you are wildly indignant about something and cry “crime! and xxxxphobia! and hate! then it doesn’t matter what the reality is or even how obvious it is. People will only hear the rage and many will be at least a bit uncomfortable about whatever the subject of calumny is. This worked out differently because they thought they stole the paper and they just knew it would show he had paid no taxes. If Maddow had not revealed the content but had just waved the paper about and looked very smug and yelled about filthy capitalists who don’t pay taxes it might still have been effective. However, she didn’t read the two pages before she trumpeted them and her certain knowledge of what they contained caused her to divulge the contents and it shocked her and everyone else on the left. They didn’t react properly and shot off all their toes.

Or, of course, he already knew which return it is because he had it leaked to (her).

If he leaked it then he knew what year form she had.

On Twitter someone said the show called to verify the accuracy of the info. That was a smart move so they didn’t show a forgery. But it also gave trump the chance to pre-empt the scoop.
