MSNBC’s leftist host Rachel Maddow thought she was going to really embarrass President Trump by exposing his 2005 tax returns during her show tonight. Is that even legal? Some are saying that Maddow releasing Trump’s private tax returns to the public without his consent would be considered a felony. As it turns out, Maddow actually did a huge favor for President Trump by lifting the veil of uncertainty about whether or not he paid taxes, from the minds of millions of Americans. It turns out that not only did Donald Trump pay taxes, he paid an enormous amount of taxes. Trump’s White House really punked the obnoxious Maddow however, by releasing  his 2005 tax returns only 25 minutes before Maddow’s show aired…

Here’s Maddow’s tweet announcing her “bombshell” revelation on her show:

Just last week, the New York Times’ columnist Nicholas Kristoff urged IRS employees Sunday to break the law, and leak Donald Trump’s tax returns to his publication: “If you’re in IRS and have a certain president’s tax return that you’d like to leak, my address is: NYT, 620 Eighth Ave, NY NY 10018,” Nicholas Kristof wrote on Twitter.

As the Hill reminds us, the release of an individual’s unauthorized tax returns is a felony. While reporters who publish illegally obtained information that they did not solicit are traditionally not prosecuted – recall that in September 2016 the NYT released an old Trump tax return without legal consequences- the legal picture becomes less clear if the reporters are involved in the leaking of the information. –Zero Hedge

Here’s what Kristof of the New York Times had to say about the release of Trump’s 2005 tax returns:

Here’s what the rest of America (including Donald Trump Jr.) had to say about Rachel Maddow’s ridiculous attempt to embarrass President Trump.

This awesome tweet was from Joe Walsh of Walsh Freedom:

Former Governor Mike Huckabee was having a blast on Twitter tonight:

There was even a tweet from the President’s son Donald Jr, thanking Maddow for proving to her Trump hating followers how successful Donald Trump is and that he paid $40 million in taxes! 

From Trump’s Director of Social Media Dan Scavino:

Jeremy Nolt thanks Maddow for the reminder that Hillary lied to the American people when she said Trump didn’t pay his taxes:

And then finally, Conservative Thinker thanks Maddow for helping Trump to get re-elected in 2020. #MAGA!
