MSNBC Prepares Liberals for Trump Tax Returns Disappointment
Newsbusters ^ | March 4, 2021 | P.J. Gladnick

Posted on 03/06/2021 1:22:35 PM PST by PJ-Comix

For any liberals that might be reading this blog, take this as your trigger warning! Why? As MSNBC opinion columnist Jessica Levinson explained on Monday, former President Trump's 2011-2019 tax returns might not be all that damaging and instead the ultimate nothingburger.

After years of legal wrangling, Trump's tax returns were turned over to New York District Attorney Cyrus Vance on February 22. Since the documents are subject to grand jury secrecy rules, the information won't be released to the public for at least the near future.

You can tell the story will be disheartening for liberals from the title of the Monday article by MSNBC's opinion columnist Jessica Levinson, "Trump's tax returns may not lead to accountability in New York." The subtitle was no more encouraging for liberals, "It's not surprising that critics of Trump hope this is the investigation that finally leads to real consequences. But legally, it's complicated."

I'm pretty sure the tax returns information leaked from the DA's office and the author of the MSNBC article was privy to it. Thus this downbeat (from her POV) story preparing her liberal readers for disappointment.

BTW, this also reminds me of several stories warning liberals to prepare for Mueller report disappointment weeks before the report was released (and which was probably leaked).

I can hear it now.

There was criminality in there, they just didn’t look hard
enough.

We’ve seen this tactic played out before. He was guilty of
collusion even though they never found a bit of evidence.

And when I say that, it’s not comparable to the 11/03/20
election, in that we did find plenty of evidence.

In Trump’s collusion situation, they literally found nothing
after nearly four years.

We found it after days, weeks, and months.

I suspected as much lol. I figured President Trump would fight having his tax returns released on principle and not because there was anything to hide. Heck, he was audited every year - had there been an issue with his tax returns, he would have heard about it before now.

I hope this plays out as deliciously as I want it to.

YUGE fricking shock that Trump’s not a money grubbing criminal or into all manner of crooked financial dealings like all the liberals?

FOILED AGAIN !!

No sane person stands downwind from you. The horrible B.O., bad breath, and bottom of the ashtray cigarette stench is overpowering for any normal human. And you wonder why you are an Incel?

The fake news liars and the attack dog Democrats will not be able to understand what is in Trump’s tax return. To them it will all look like a bunch of legaleze gobbledegook. Alternative Minimum Tax, capital loss carryovers, regular Federal income tax versus Alternative Minimum tax etc. are way over their levels of competence.

If they don’t find anything, they can just make something up. No evidence necessary. CNN and MSNBC (Pravda and Izvestia) does it all the time.

I have always known the tax returns would be a nothingburger. Trump get audited every year, and has an army of lawyers prepare his taxes. There will be nothing illegal.

I would be willing to bet money that Trump’s tax returns were audited every year, given his personality, Trump probably fought the IRS every step of the way, ultimately the IRS approved the returns....

Unless someone can prove Trump didn’t report some type of income, then his returns are all legit considering their scrutiny by the IRS and their approval.

You’re right but it still steams my beans that they got a look at them thanks to the corrupt courts! It’s no one’s business and until we see the tax returns of the Demonrats and RINO’s, it hope their grubby paws catch on fire reading them!!!

It was always prone to be problematic for the hyena media. Trump does not, of course, do his own tax returns, and the people who do (Mazars International has been subpoenaed as well as at least two of Trump's banks), tend to get downright cranky about allegations of tax fraud with their names on it. And they have more, and much better, tax attorneys than SDNY (or MSNBC and CNN) and they do have standing, and they can show damages, loss of only a single account potentially in the millions. And throwing their client to the wolves would be even more damaging.

So the wild hyperbole that has typified this ridiculous witch hunt now will come with a cost. The spittle throwers don't care, but they aren't the ones who are going to have to foot the bill.

Only temporarily such as when I stub my toe. Not permanently angry like you cursing the world for being forced into a state of permanent Incelitude.

Auditing tax return for a person like trump would mean investigating one of most prestigious accounting firms in the country. Whatever beef you may have is probably cakewalk for their attorney to solve

If the IRS couldn’t find anything wrong, how will a political hack find anything?

“You seem angry.”

And you seem humblegunner.

Is your goal to have everyone at FR recognize your disreputable characteristics ?
If so, your doing a damn good effort.
