I can't believe some of the responses here from the lefties. They are actually defending this hack like she accomplished something! She single-handedly killed a left wing narrative about Trump not paying taxes that they've been working for nearly two years. No wonder left wing propaganda rags like Slate are lambasting her today. No wonder Van Jones and Steven Colbert are lampooning her. Geraldo Rivera probably sent her a thank you card today!
Now, she probably managed to hype this enough to achieve her highest viewership ever. I would love to see the numbers on that. But man... what a disaster to showcase with the biggest audience you're likely to ever have. This is the kind of move that would've killed most serious journalist's careers a few years ago... but this is the left, they'll forgive her like Brian Williams... who, I've heard was actually there when Trump did his taxes in 2005.
So now we know, Trump paid more taxes than Bernie Sanders or Barack Obama. I'm betting he probably paid more than Rachel Madcow and Hillary Clinton as well. And that's even with taking a huge write-off for a major business loss a few years prior. I think this effectively ENDS the meme about Trump and his taxes. Yeah, I know it was only a small portion of his 2005 return, but I don't think any credible journalist will bring this up again. The die-hard lefties will continue whining about him releasing his returns... that's not going to change. As a news story, the tax thing is dead.
