Shattuck: Rachel Maddow left with nothing after fake news report
The Boston Herald ^ | 03-15-2017 | Tom Shattuck

Posted on 03/15/2017 5:24:53 AM PDT by calvincaspian

We’ve dodged two winter storms in a row. The first was the named Stella and the second looked to be called Rachel, as in Rachel Maddow.

Nature will take its course, but Maddow veered wildly off course last night when the pride of MSNBC announced via social media that she had Donald Trump’s tax returns and would release them at 9 p.m.

As the big moment approached, she clarified that it would be returns from just 2005 that we’d see.

Who would let Maddow torture viewers with her usual 15-minute monologue and have no payoff at the end of the ordeal?

Crazy people, that’s who.

Set aside the fact that Rachel’s hero, Hillary Clinton, took foreign donations routinely.

There is a psychosis at work and the left needs professional help.

Let’s get them that help. They used to be proud journalists and now they’re third-rate dumpster divers behind the H&R Block.

Trump paid 25% in taxes.

Higher than MSNBC’s parent company Comcast (24%).

Higher than Obama (19%).

Higher than Bernie Sanders (13%).

This has totally blown up in Maddow’s face and it’s hilarious.

....

Op-Ed: Donald Trump just got a nice victory, thanks, of all people, to Rachel Maddow

For somebody who hates conservatives, she’s really hanging in there with the Ronald Reagan haircut.

It was like 15 minutes of foreplay. She musta had at least an hour beforehand to realize that this act was a headache.

MadCow demostrated Liberalism is a mental disease and coupled with another disorder know as lesbianism is highly caustic not to mention replusive.

Tonights show will be a trip to see how this mis-fit attempts to recover from an epic failure.
As repulsive as I find the entire network I may take a peek to see how this spectacle plays out.Unless Tucker does as he did last night and provides an on going critique

And we have to ask how she got those two pages of the return. There could be a LOT of violations of Federal laws and not only Maddow, but NBC News and possibly even Comcast itself could land in legal hot water over this.

"There is a psychosis at work..."

Yes, and it is sweeping the whole country. It is sad, fascinating, and dangerous at the same time.

"We got his 12 year old tax returns and we are going to expose them!"

Great! And, what did it prove? President Trump is a very rich man, what a surprise. He paid a lot of taxes, well he's not in jail so he must have paid a lot of taxes. He paid them at a higher rate than his opponents or RM's employer. Wow, that should do Trump in. Any more of these revelations and Trump's approval rating will top 65%.

David Cay Johnston says that he found the returns in his mailbox. He has a duty to verify that Donald Trump really did send them to him, not just assume it. Without written permission, isn’t it likely that he broke the law by releasing these? If so, I hope Trump goes after him, just to show that the rule of law still exists.

It should be noted there are STRICT rules at the IRS and state tax authorities on acquisition and disclosure of tax returns on both the state and Federal level.

As such, one wonders how Maddow (and her staff) got those first two pages of the return, possibly in violation of Federal law in regards to privacy and disclosure of IRS tax returns.

Could have come from a former disgruntled Trump accountant, attorney, or consultant.

Trump didn’t send this to some no name reporter. He’s got much bigger fish to fry.
