solicit them. The question is, does whoever got those pages (however they got them) also have the rest of the return, since those pages would show sources of income? Johnson made some interesting observations based on just the pages he had, including the fact Trump got a huge break on account of the alternative minimum tax, and that he also took a huge write-down. He also speculated that Trump himself "leaked" those pages, since he's been known to do such things in the past. Why would he have done that? Maybe to take a little attention away from the ACA repeal debacle? Maybe to prove he actually has paid taxes in the past?

I haven't watched her in awhile (don't have MSNBC). I am not favorably inclined to be played.

If some of trumps tax returns could lead (down the rabbit hole) to reveal, he was doing business with America's enemies.
Example: Could one of his overseas business's have traded with ISIS or Al Qaeda?

....nothing of import.

And will likely never tune in again. And will consider her "crying wolf" the next time she has an intriguing tweet.


She did herself damage tonight.
