Well, we have a few crumbs on the tax trail. Guess we just have to stay tuned for now unless riversedge Mar 2017 #119
Turned up in David Cay Johnston's mail box. elleng Mar 2017 #94

She's used it as an opportunity to educate new viewers, so that's good. bettyellen Mar 2017 #118
No, not really. It gets him sympathy TimeToGo Mar 2017 #124
exactly..she's being used. Kaotic Mar 2017 #126
Anyone who discusses the taxes is doing it in the context of "what is he hiding" and that's good! bettyellen Mar 2017 #128
Only those of us who already think that TimeToGo Mar 2017 #133
She spent the entire show explaining why it's crucial to the Russian investigation.... bettyellen Mar 2017 #137
Yes, that's fine TimeToGo Mar 2017 #148
She gave a run down of the Russian connections as context for the details we need to confirm or bettyellen Mar 2017 #140
That would be fine except it was hyped. Glad she reported it, Lucky Luciano Mar 2017 #136
HA - then it worked! bettyellen Mar 2017 #138
It worked to get me to turn on the tv, but I don't Lucky Luciano Mar 2017 #146
She spent the whole hour basically trying to drum up bigger interest and explain bettyellen Mar 2017 #150
I assume that you would rather it not be leaked unless it was worthwhile HoneyBadger Mar 2017 #144
CNN.com is reporting WH released the tax records. JenniferJuniper Mar 2017 #112
No, just confirmed the info DeminPennswoods Mar 2017 #129
"WH releases some tax details" JenniferJuniper Mar 2017 #132
MSNBC sent the 1040s to WH for confirmation DeminPennswoods Mar 2017 #141
I understand that. Point is CNN is helping the WH out here. JenniferJuniper Mar 2017 #147

Why does she have a lot of new viewers tonight? moonscape Mar 2017 #160
Why this show was important. Tatiana Mar 2017 #142
unless Trump leaked it, which is the most likely explanation grantcart Mar 2017 #145
Yep TimeToGo Mar 2017 #152
I like your take! Madam45for2923 Mar 2017 #154
My conspiracy theory is that the return was tweaked HoneyBadger Mar 2017 #153
"It is illegal to publish actual returns." TimeToGo Mar 2017 #155
Newsweek last year HoneyBadger Mar 2017 #157
No. Rachel addressed this. It is NOT illegal to publish the returns if they were unsolicited. mnhtnbb Mar 2017 #158
And mine is that this is a giant set-up by T and moonscape Mar 2017 #162
I'm feelin' the hysterical/historical moment! But the larger American concern: divided loyalty. ancianita Mar 2017 #159
