At 7:36 pm Tuesday night, Rachel Maddow tweeted “BREAKING: We've got Trump tax returns. Tonight, 9pm ET. MSNBC. (Seriously),” sending the internet into a frenzy of theorizing. Did Maddow have Donald Trump’s tax returns or just one of the Trumps’ tax returns? Could this be it, the tax return that would bring down the Donald? If this was it, why wasn't MSNBC cutting into its programming, instead of running a countdown clock to Maddow’s show? By 8:24, Maddow was tweeting that the tax return in question was Donald Trump’s 1040 from 2005. By 8:30, still half an hour before Maddow started airing, the White House had responded to the MSNBC report, saying that Trump had paid $38 million on income of $150 million that year. An hour later, about 20 minutes after The Rachel Maddow Show started, Maddow would confirm these numbers, turning her big scoop about Donald Trump’s long-missing tax returns into a cautionary tale about over-hype. Rachel Maddow, you played yourself—and us too.
“It’s been a little bit of a hullabaloo around here this evening, I apologize for being flustered,” Maddow said at the top of the hour, before confirming that her show had copies of Donald Trump’s federal tax returns, obtained by the reporter David Cay Johnston, to share with her audience. “In just a second we’re going to show you exactly what it is we’ve got,” she said, before launching, instead, into a 20-minute monologue. Maddow seemed uncharacteristically nervous as she wended her way though what could kindly be described as context and which I am unkindly describing as word salad, a long meander that was difficult to follow even without the distracting promise of a revelatory tax return at its end.

The gas blew out of this story pretty quick...
“The people behind BHO. He only got where he did because sealed records were leaked, or threatened to be leaked.”
Boy, ain’t that the truth. I wonder what Jack Ryan is doing these days.
I’m sure Soros and the rest of the boardroom of Deep State Globalist Inc are not happy with Madcow this morning. All that buildup and then Madcow has a Geraldo Rivera moment, and makes DSG Inc. look bad in the process. Oh well. They can always go back to the Russian angle.
I want to see her tax returns...lol
The Dhimmi-crats gotta TRY to make TRUMP look worse that
BLOWJOB BILLIOUS & HITLER-Y CLINKTON. - F.A.I.L.
Funniest comment I read about last night’s fiasco: “She really fell on her dick this time!”
The left are eating Rachael Alive
mad cow alert!!!!
The libs commenting on this story and the one at The Hill are hilarious. They’re left with “well, he isn’t as rich as claimed,” and “show us where the income came from.”
They’re in a desperate search for a silver lining, and there’s none to be found.
Mad Cow is an idiot. I guess she was going for a big ratings jump. EPIC FAIL.
I do think these loons have revenge fantasies about Trump being perp-walked like Mike Tyson, in his shirtsleeves with his suit coat hiding his handcuffs, out the front door of the White House.
His crimes? Unimportant. They don’t even need to exist.
Several generations raised on tabloid TV and a diet of radicalism in school have no capacity for thought, no patience and their anger boils over at the first consonant in the word NO.
Truly deranged. And when their fantasy remains a fantasy, they get upset at anyone, even on their side, who fails to ‘take him down.’
LOL
“That Maddow guy drives me nuts!”
You mean Will Wheaton?
More like self-defecating.
A biggah ho, than Whorealdo ...
This is why transgenderism is a bad idea. All those hormone treatments and self- mutilation, and you end up with a nut like Rachel MadCow.
Rachel Marrow’s dingo ate Trumps Tax Return
