Well, this sure is interesting: MSNBC host Rachel Maddow claims to have a copy of "Trump's" tax returns. She tweeted that she'll be unveiling them on her show at 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday night.
Maddow did not specify which Trump nor which year the returns were for.
BREAKING: We've got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9pm ET. MSNBC.
(Seriously).— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) March 14, 2017
It's unclear as to why someone would release the returns now. The election is over. Trump won. This can't possibly change anything.
Stay...tuned?
This post will be updated.
Watched the segment. Pure speculation. NO “there”...there. Total joke for ratings. What a farce.
I don’t assume it’s a crime. I assume it’s NOT a crime, but not for the reasons you’ve given. I’m assuming they got the information from a source that had it legally.
I posted my response to a different post of yours that said nothing about fraud.
First Amendment does not cover broadcasting social security numbers.
States have laws on the books protecting individuals.
This should not end well for MadCow. Koskinen should immediately begin an investigation into how this return was illegally obtained and divulged.Wait, Koskinen? Never mind....
If you aren’t watching MSNBC you are missing the greatest nothin burger in history. This is hillarious!!
Deep State + Media = Sedition. Time to destroy them both.
I am watching Hannity and he was showing a clip from NBC. Someone was saying they want to use it to get President Trump impeached.
She was breathless, alright. Then everything went ‘flaccid’. Absent Viagra and someone turned on the light switch. Hilarious!
I watched via a ‘counterfeit site’. Won’t give them ratings.
These idiots think that is ground for impeachment. They would be laughed out of court
Laz,
Help me bud.. I think maybe she’s not that bad.. back then I mean.. heaven help me.. I think I need therapy!
Speak to me Laz!
LMAO too.
That’s nothing, I once saw Rachel pee and write her name in the snow. With her pants on.
Impeached for paying taxes?
watching Hannity now , who is showing the attacks from NBC, MSNBC
It doesn't matter if MSNBC's source got the returns legally or illegally. In fact, it is quite possible that MSNBC doesn't know how its source acquired the returns. But as long as MSNBC didn't solicit someone to break the law to acquire the returns, MSNBC is in the clear.
You may want to review Bartnicki v Vopper
What law would prevent MSNBC from disclosing SSNs for non-fraudulent purposes?
Hi RIMTB hope you are well, and good for you.
