“Does anybody really believe that a reporter, who nobody ever heard of, ‘went to his mailbox’ and found my tax returns?” he tweeted.

Well, yeah. Because you sent them to him. How else would he get them?

“It’s illegal and you’re not supposed to have it and it’s not supposed to be leaked," Trump told Carlson. It’s certainly not an embarrassing tax return at all but it’s an illegal thing.”

Damn shame that the Supreme Court disagrees with him.

Considering what’s on the horizon, he shouldn’t brag about that.

As dirty tricks go, aside from embarrassing Maddow, it was pretty ineffective and transparent. Nothing like Atwater and Rove stuff.

I know there are some people, like the guy at WaPo, who don’t believe he leaked them himself, it you know, he’s suspiciously calm about all of this. If he really thought there was a chance that more would dribble out (I.e., he wasn’t controlling the situation), I think he’d be much more wired.

it’s the calmness that is weird.

Which? The one he presumably leaked on Maddow or the one the WH issued 1/2 hour prior to Maddows show?

I betcha Session’s Justice Department will not charged David Cay Johnston or Rachel Maddow with whatever crime that’s floating around in dRUMPF’s pea brain. There’s no case there.

Then WHY did you send it to the press in the first place President-Shit-for-Brains?

We KNOW you sent it because, right there printed on the page it says: “Client Copy”.

Donald J. Trump was the client.

You sent it to the press so you could then claim it was “illegally leaked!” and try to take some heat off of your excremetal “Trump-Don’t-Care Act” Health for the Wealthy Bill.

Bannon, you can be so transparent some times…you are slipping buddy.

Maddow should announce she has his 2015 returns so Trump’ll release those preemptively.

Trump: “but Wikileaks was doing this country a tremendous service.”

Trent Franks : “thank god for Assange.”
