Tax Returns Coming Tonight?

[Suburbia]

Thank you for reporting this. I was going to make a thread about this. Could this change things?

Eh this will probably be inconsequential. Likely effective baiting on Maddow's part.

Three sources have told me the tax returns on Maddow tonight are 2005 tax returns and Trump reports 150 million in income.

Seems like a nothingburger.

what is your damage, Trump?

Lol, they're butthurt. They should be thanking Maddow since at least it shows he paid taxes back then.

[Grumpier Than Thou]

White House statement:

God, the sheer informal nature of this statement hurts me to read. The butthurt, not so much. That's funny.

[The Other Castro]

Boring, show us who and where his money came from and went to, not how much it was. 

[Xing]

White House statement:

They're seriously complaining about others caring too much about ratings? lol

[Attorney General, LGC Speaker, and Former PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Maddow is saying it was obtained through another reporter, who the documents were hand-delivered to.

[Classic Conservative]

There's nothing bad here.

[The Other Castro]

There's nothing bad here.

She hasn't started coverage on it yet. It's all just been buildup and background so far.

[The Other Castro]

Maddow's spent so much time on buildup that The Daily Beast beat her to the reveal:

[Cashew]

This is painful to listen to. I Should have waited a while.

[Absentee Voting Ghost of Ruin]

I'm sure the White House will be fine with the reveal once Maddow reveals she got the info from shady hackers alleged to be Russian puppets.

[Xing]

I'm expecting this to be a nothingburger, but if it does turn out to be noteworthy, I can't wait to see how Trump's defenders try to explain it away.

-It doesn't go back to 2005, man.

[The_Doctor]

Much more interestingly: invariably the 2008 - 2016 returns will be made public. Someone has them and someone will be making them public. And these, likely, will show Trump's overseas investments and particularly, his dealings in foreign nations. 2005 doesn't show that because he only started diversifying to foreign nations starting in 2006.

Well, back to playing Overwatch.

[The_Doctor]

Well, back to playing Overwatch.

No, this 2005 return is helpful. It showed us that most of his income ($150 million) came from the sale of two properties in Manhattan and San Fran, according to Patrick LaForge, on Twitter - to Hong Kong investors. Which means only one thing, the later returns will show a much more heavy reliance on foreign investors especially since he started leasing Trump Tower deals around the world post-2005.

[Sprouts Farmers Market ✘]

What an absolute and complete embarrassment. If we can't even believe Maddow any more, there is absolutely no hope in this country.

[Inmate Trump]

Regardless of what is here or not, it's good these came out. They should've a long time ago and we all have a right to see them now that he's coward-in-chief. Hopefully more returns are leaked (or he grows a pair and releases them himself).

[(Still) muted by Kalwejt until March 31]

I don't think Americans had the right to see them, but it's a good thing they were leaked.

[Hindsight was 2020]

Mainly boring but a couple interesting tidbits in that could come into play later. Mainly his reliance on some sale he made to two Hong Kong investors
