Tonight Tucker is keeping an eye on her show as she is reporting on Trumps 2005 tax returns she has been given by "SOMEONE"

So far he reported $150 million and paid $38 million in taxes But in 1995 he took a lose that made it so he did not have to pay any taxes for 18 years so he actually paid taxes he did not really have to pay.

I hope she is arrested for releasing to the public his private tax returns It would serve her right.

OH SHE DID :nod: :clap: it is so bad the liberals are making fun of her on CNN. They had a panel ready to discuss the findings and after she proved Trump paid $38 million in taxes even Van Jones figured this was a very good day for Trump. :lol:

But If you want to read something really funny go to Rachel Maddow's twitter account where she announced that she had Trump's Tax returns and she was going to have them on at 9. The first half of tweets are from before the show. The liberals were congratulating her on the score of getting them and how they had their popcorn ready, how they can't wait for her to prove he did not pay any taxes after he said he did in the debate. Some even said they could not believe it was true that they finally had them and Rachel was going to expose Trump.

The last half of comments are from after her bombshell misfired and blew up in her face. The Trump supporters are rubbing in the fact he paid more in taxes than Obama or Bernie Sanders. Rosie Donnell was even on there talking about how she couldn't wait and then she tweeted about them being from 2005 and a disappointment for all the hype they were given by MSNBC. Oh and how they tried to defend her by saying they figured Trump released them himself to distract the medias attention. YEP It was all Trumps fault Rachal hyped the returns up to pump up her ratings for the night. They even tried the Rachal is holding the good stuff back for another night story. But somehow I doubt she would hype the story to the extent she did and then hold something back to make herself look like the laughing stock she came off as. Some were tweeting this was like Al Capons Safe story of Geraldo's that people are still reminding him about on FOX. She took a big blow to her credibility tonight with her hyped up gotta story!! :clap: :lol2:

Not sure which I found funnier reading the before tweets knowing they were going to be very disappointed in her or the after when they were trying their best to defend her liberal garbage.

I think the kooks at Rachel Maddow and company took the bait and fell right into the trap that was set for them, besides likely doing something illegal. They aren't going to outsmart the Donald.

And speaking of liberal garbage, I see the cleanup bill is at~1 million dollars for the mess the pipeline protestors left, for the world to see.

Fun?????

Well, sick humor sometimes makes bad performance or ideas a little easier to tolerate. Why can't these people grow up, get a life and learn how to actually WORK for an HONEST living? Referencing these so called 'reporters' who try to pull off "gotcha" type revelations of assumed illegal, or at least bad, behaviors by mostly conservative politicians or other public figures. Or maybe volunteer to serve the needy in lower income nursing homes or VA facilities.....anything to learn for themselves that they are not the center of the universe and there are people in true need.

The two pages from President Trump’s tax return that leaked late Tuesday reveal only a sliver of his complicated wealth.

The release of Trump’s 2005 1040 form is the second leak of its kind since Trump announced his White House bid. It tracks earnings from the same year Trump married Melania Trump, founded Trump University and was caught on a hot-mic advocating for sexual assault. It states he paid $38 million in taxes and earned $150 million.

Trump declined to release his tax returns during the presidential campaign — the first major party candidate to do so in more than 40 years, citing an ongoing audit.

The document revealed Tuesday, while intriguing, leaves many unanswered questions about Trump’s wealth and financial dealings.

Trump calls tax leak 'fake news' even though White House confirms
IS TRUMP FINANCIALLY COMPROMISED?

The origins of President Trump’s finances could likely be settled once and for all by releasing his tax returns. All presidential candidates have done so dating back to the Watergate-era. But Trump’s desperate attempts to keep his financial filings secret ahead of the November election — and after — only suggest he could have something to hide, such as financial ties to foreign governments. Such links could be used to influence real estate deals through the Trump Organization, and foreign and domestic affairs now that Trump is the U.S. President.

Trump’s cozy ties to Russia plagued his presidential campaign, especially as the Obama administration accused the Kremlin of swaying the presidential election with pro-Trump propaganda. Additionally, Trump’s former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions and former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn were all found to have had mysterious communications with the Russian government.

Trump has repeatedly denied business dealings to Russia. Hours before the tax findings — first obtained by journalist David Cay Johnston — were revealed, the Palm Beach Post reported on a number of alarming coincidences tying Trump to at least one Russian oligarch.

Jets belonging to billionaire Dmitry Rybolovlev and Trump were reportedly parked next to each other in Las Vegas in October and again days before the November election in North Carolina. The Palm Beach Post learned that Rybolovlev anchored his “Sea Owl” yacht next to Trump financier Robert Mercer in the British Virgin Islands on March 10, according to marine traffic data.

Rachel Maddow claims to have President Trump's 2005 tax returns

Trump sold Rybolovlev his Maison de L’Amitie mansion for $95 million in 2008. A spokesperson for Rybolovlev said it was purchased through a family trust and that the two billionaires had never met, the Post learned.
ARE TRUMP’S TAXES BEING AUDITED BY THE INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE?

It’s unclear. Trump has repeatedly refused to release his tax returns citing a supposed IRS audit but the federal agency has not confirmed it is probing his finances, according to the New York Times.

The IRS, however, has previously stated that an audit does not prevent anyone from releasing their tax returns.

WHO IS BEHIND THE TRUMP TAX RETURN LEAKS?

An anonymous source — or sources — have mailed two sets of tax returns from 1995 and 2005 to journalists.

Rachel Maddow ratings may be explosive after her Trump tax reveal

In September 2016, a joint-tax return for Trump and his ex-wife, Marla Maples, was mailed to the Daily News and the New York Times in a manila envelope. The envelope’s return address listed the Trump Organization.

A photocopy of the 2005 filing disclosed on the “Rachel Maddow Show” on Tuesday night was shipped to the home of Johnston, the founder of DCReports.org and a 2001 Pulitzer Prize Winner for beat reporting. The unsolicited two-page filing was inside a #10 business envelope with no return address.

The original was stamped "Client Copy." Johnston has ruled out the IRS as its source and has not discounted that the President, or someone acting on his orders, may be behind the leak.

“Donald has a long history of leaking material about himself when he thinks it’s in his best interest,” Johnston told Maddow.

so either way the Joke is on them...

and this one...
Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Ma.) once mused that Trump's tax returns may reveal a stark reality compared to the real estate mogul’s crafted persona — that he's a "lousy businessman."

so making a 150 mil is a lousy business man?

and her occupation..
Senator Elizabeth Warren fights for middle- and working-class Americans. But she's part of the Top 1%.

Warren, the Harvard bankruptcy law professor elected to the Senate in 2012, is worth between $3.7 million and $10 million.

That's not including the three-story Victorian home in Cambridge, Mass., that she owns with her husband and fellow Harvard law professor, Bruce Mann. It's now assessed at $1.9 million, according to city property records.

a 2011 financial disclosure form, which shows Warren earned a salary of $430,000 from Harvard

add in a few cushy book deals (bribes) and a million plus fund and you have a rich woman.. who makes a tenth in her lifetime of what Trump made in a year,.. And after taking a huge pay cut to be in the senate is now worth around 15 mil,.. (the rich get richer and the crooked get there faster.. )

and
Federal Effective Tax Rate 28.32% 28.78% 27.99% 25.84%
Mass. Effective Tax Rate*** 5.22% 5.24% 5.22% 5.17%
Not much more then Trump's recently disclosed effective tax rate. Maybe she should try parking her luxury yacht in another state like John kerry did.. :roll: :lol:

Rachel Maddow made her own bed she hyped something that only did the opposite of what she and her Trump hating fans were hoping it would. She even sent copies of the two pages to the White House to get a comment. Proud of the White House Press people for getting out in front of the story and releasing their comment 1 1/2 hours before she went to air. It said he had paid $38 million in taxes and it was illegal to publish unreleased personal tax returns. That is why Rachel opened with, her first amendment rights give her the right to publish them, comment

The problem I have with this story is some lawyers say Rachel is off the hook legally as it is not against the law to publish his tax returns if they didn't steal them to do it. This is why reporters get away with this crap they get some loyal fan to steal the documents, they publish them by saying they were left in their mail box. The reporter is protected by this dumb law and is also protected from having to report who the leakers is as they have a right to protect their sources. If the law was if you publish somebody's private info that was not publicly released by the person you go to jail PERIOD, it would stop the reporters from talking some idiot corrupt government employee into committing a felony to give them the scoop of their career.

If I were Trump I would take this all the way to the Supreme Court and see who's rights the courts are going to protect. The rights of a person wanting to protect their private info or the rights of idiot reporters that thinks they can publish anything they want to publicly destroy a person. This crap has to have some limits and punishment handed out to make a point this is not right.

My opinion is if the person broke the law, (which Trump did not) then the right to privacy is gone... anyone can see Trump did not break any law and nothing was gained by Rachael maddow breaking the law..

The press's right to tell all stops at the person's right to privacy.. and if we do not have a right to privacy, then the SCOTUS has made some really bad decisions in the past...

so if you break the law, as Hillery did then you should be exposed.. If Trump broke the law then I would support Maddow's rights to expose it.. he did not...

it was funny watching last night as she tried to make it into a story.. her take seemed to be this was his best return so Trump or someone close to trump leaked it to make him look good.. and the others must make him look bad.. yep, and Gerardo found a full bottle of whiskey in a safe.. :roll: The sad difference is Maddow KNEW there was NOTHING in the report.. :roll: :???:

On Her Twitter, Some were wondering if Trump didn't do it himself, as for some reason the White House just happen to have a copy of that years tax return ready so they could comment. I guess the idiots did not realize Maddow said she sent a copy of the returns to the White House so they could comment on them for her show. Some just hear what they want and that is why reporters ask the same question over and over and over like it wasn't just answer repeatedly.

It was also put out there that some think it was AG Preet B. as 2005 was the year he was investigating the Trump University. Some think after Trump fired him this was Preet's act of revenge but if it was it didn't exactly hurt Trump.

But just so you know Maddow's fans are so smart on her twitter one of her fans said, Trump was lying about being a Billionaire as it was right in his tax return he only made $150,million. so how does that make him a Billionaire. Seriously she even argued with the responding tweeters about the fact he was not as rich as he said as he only made $150 million YOU CAN'T FIX STUPID but you should be able to lock them up for their own safety.

liberals can't seem to understand wealth is NOT TAXED... earnings are taxed.. :roll:

Forbes claims his worth to be about 4.5 billion... so even is Trump is only worth a quarter of that, he is still a billionaire..

Somebody should tweet the twit...

Here is the brief report from William P. Barrett, writing in the Informer column of Forbes on Feb. 26, 2007:

“A snappy moment enlivened a Camden, N.J. hearing on Donald J. Trump’s libel suit over author Timothy L. O'Brien's TrumpNation: The Art of Being The Donald. The book says Trump is worth less than $250 million. 'I think I'm going to hire his accountant,' Superior Court Judge Irvin J. Snyder exclaimed on the bench after eyeing Trump's still-secret-to-the-public tax returns. 'He only paid $38,000 in tax.' Huge evidence for the defense? 'Actually,' O'Brien lawyer Andrew J. Ceresney stammered, 'it's 38--well, 38 million, Your Honor.' Snyder replied, 'Oh, thanks. I missed that.'

Seems the story is not only stale, but really old news... :roll: :lol:

anyone know how much Maddow paid in taxes?

She also said the two pages were the only ones in captivity I guess she not only forget the two pages had already been reported but his 1995 tax return was too. That is the year he lost nearly a billion that made it so he did not have to pay any federal taxes for 18 years.

She hyped the return then blamed it on her fans for thinking it was more than it was before she destroyed her reputation over OLD NEWS

I hope The New York Times just destroyed their reputation as they without a shadow of doubt pumped up the wiretapping story prior to and after the election that Trump tweeted about.

Now there is a government investigation that says there is no evidence YET of the wiretaps but remember these are wiretaps THE NEW YORK TIMES WAS REPORTING ON.

Trump could have gone and asked the Intel guys for proof but like he said if he had the NYT would have accused him of interfering with investigation. By tweeting about what he was reading, Trump got it out there and asked it to be part of investigation.

If there is no evidence then the New York Times and a few of these other liberal rags need to apologize to the public and Trump for pushing their lies as true reporting. The media keeps asking if Trump will apologize, if I were Spicer I'd ask them "FOR WHAT for believe and commenting on media reports that everyone else took as the truth until Trump made it clear that the left bias media were reporting FAKE MADE UP NEWS?

If it did not happen then Trump was taken in by The Liberal Media's Lying Reporting just like everyone of their liberal readers. If I were Trump i'd put it back on the NYT and at one of his rallies say he apologizes for BELIEVING THE FAKE NEWS REPORTING BY NEW YORK TIMES period!!!!

F.B.I. Is Investigating Trump’s Russia Ties, Comey Confirms

Mr. Comey’s testimony before the House Intelligence Committee created a treacherous political moment for Mr. Trump, who has insisted that “Russia is fake news” that was cooked up by his political opponents to undermine his presidency. Mr. Comey placed a criminal investigation at the doorstep of the White House and said officers would pursue it “no matter how long that takes.”

Joined by Adm. Michael S. Rogers, the director of the National Security Agency, Mr. Comey also dismissed Mr. Trump’s claim that he was wiretapped by his predecessor during the campaign, a sensational accusation that has served as a distraction in the public debate over Russian election interference. Taken together, the two provided the most definitive statement yet that Mr. Trump’s accusation was false.
https://www.nytimes.com/2017/03/20/us/politics/fbi-investigation-trump-russia-comey.html?_r=0

Something is seriously wrong with liberals' brains.. either Comey/FBI ect, is investigating the WH (Trump) or he is not..

If the FBI and all the intel folk are investigating him, as they claim to have been doing since July, then TRUMP IS CORRECT!


How hard is that to see?

We know they were investigating Trump as Obama requested the investigation after Hillary lost the election as he could not believe Hillary lost all by her corrupt self

We Know they were investigating Trump as Clapper was on Meet the Press reporting on the report written by DNI, CIA, NSA AND COMEY's FBI about the investigation Obama requested , saying NO COLLUSION between Russia and "TRUMP" was found.

So if Obama did not ask his intel to investigate "TRUMP" why did the report he requested to be on his desk say NO COLLUSION between "TRUMP" and Russia?

We know they were surveilling Trump as they leaked Flynn was talking to Russian Amb. and had transcripts of phone call proving he said something about sanctions. If they were investigating Russia Flynn's name would have been PROTECTED but it wasn't it was put out for everyone to read.

We know they were surveilling Trump as they leaked the two phone calls he had with foreign countries and had transcripts describing how phone calls ended. If they were investigating Mexico and The Aussie why was Trump's name Unmasked like Flynn's was in Russia phone call?

So Please somebody FGS explain why the media is flipping out over what Comey testified to today. He said they were investigating and have been since JULY and still have found NO COLLUSION between Trump and Russia. Same story different day. Big deal Comey is now on recorded saying they have found NO EVIDENCE to support Dems claims of Russia Trump Link no matter how many what if's Schiff spewed at the hearing. The only question now is HOW LONG will Comey keep investigating so he can avoid answering questions on an "ONGOING" investigation? And why did he claim they were not surveilling Trump when the contents of Trump's phone calls have been leaked by US INTEL Community? That kind of makes Comey's claims doubtable.

I wish Gowdy would push his question about it being a felony to PUBLISH an illegally unmasked US citizens name And put the media on notice it they publish that kind of info they will be going to jail for same amount of time as the one stealing the info. and giving it to them for publication.

As far as what Comey said about Obama could not get a FISA warrant BULL all he or Hillary had to do was ask their DOJ PUPPET Lynch to get it for them . She would do anything they asked she proved that by not allowing the FBI agents to go after Clinton Foundation. She is making RESIST video's talking about blood in the streets and people dying for the cause so does anyone believe she would not break a few FISA rules if it meant she could help her friend Hillary win the election.
