Shattuck: Rachel Maddow left with nothing after fake news report

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.

I watched her monologue. She actually made a good case that Trump became president to return a favor to the Russian oligarch who bought a Trump property twelve years ago for a large profit, and that he is governing not for America’s interest, but for his own business empire. And if anyone believes that, Lord help us.

[Dusty Road]

Bait to find out who the leak is?

[jettester]

I have as much belief in the idea that the sissy-cat-fighting-fake-newscasters purposely gave the returns to these doofuses to trip them up. Can you say “competition”?

[americas.best.days...]

I hope the return address said “John Miller”. Lol.

[safetysign]

Rachel solidified her position as the dumbest c*nt on TV.

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.

"Yeah, let those two pages of my return fall into MSNBC's hands! LOL! Maddow's gonna run with it - you better believe it!"

"Huh? Of course! Then when it shows I paid higher taxes than every Dem politician, her little story'll crash and burn and Maddow'll look even more like the idiot she is!"

[Alberta's Child]

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

That is Quote of the Week material there, sir. LOL.

P.S. -- Are you related to THE Preston Manning?

[CarolAnn]

Wouldn’t it be amazing and YUGE if Trump leaked them? Maddow would be so pissed that she got played like a fiddle by the man she hates most. I can see The Don at the Oval Office desk now wiping laugh tears away. I love that thought.

[VA is for Freepers]

I just watched this. It reminded me of Glenn Beck when he was on Fox.

[JusPasenThru]

Deez nutz.

[zbogwan2]

I’d love to see Maddow and all the rest of the Media Lefties hooked up to a Lie detector machine for a week and have an on screen meter showing the results? We would probably be treated to a bunch of blabbering idiots then, trying to parse everything they said? Hoping to beat the machine with their falsehoods?

Let's not forget this tweet from 13.5% Socialist Sanders

[CarolAnn]

OHHO MAN! WHAT A HYPOCRITE!

[tiki]

Now that the Russian story has become unfruitful they are desperate. Just like the Bush video during the election, they had to release it way too early.

[onedoug]

Will MSNBC have the guts to put her back on tonight? ‘Should be some real hoots in watching her spin her way out of this?

[RayChuang88]

Yep, the MSM is desperate. They "scraping the bottom of the barrel" and proves they're even MORE discredited.

[I want the USA back]

Rachel has no talent, is ugly and not interesting. The only reason why she is on TV is that she is a carpet-muncher.

[Oldexpat]

Indict her.
