I watched that entire show. Maddow never suggested that any Trumpkin forged that document to discredit the press. She said she and her investigators did not know where it came from but were still investigating. She did say it and several other forged documents and wrong stories may well have been fabricated by someone wishing to discredit the Press. And that is a reasonable possible explanation until they have proof of who is doing the forgeries.

Her final rec was that every member of the press needed to do their due diligence carefully these days, more carefully than normal.

Remember that time Trump (probably) leaked his own tax returns and Maddow stupidly reported them on her show?

I know Maddow was a Rhodes Scholar and an Ivy League grad, but I am not impressed with her intellect. She seems to be rather credulous and easily duped. She also commits logical fallacies every night on her show with her preposterous (and easily debunked) conspiracy theories. Perhaps she is pulling a CNN -- maybe she knows it's all bullshite but doesn't care because she's got ratings.

That said, I do happen to agree with her here. I think it's very likely Trump himself leaked those tax returns and perhaps other fake stories as well. I would not put this past MAGA. What's funny is that Maddow was completely hoodwinked by Trump. How did she not see that she was going to look like a fool by reporting that Trump paid more taxes than Comcast/NBC and Obama?

Left-leaning poster "the spleen" has a thread on this already if you want more info.



In fairness to The Spleen, he said it was interesting, but that he did not personally believe that the document came from the White House. In fact, IIRC, he even suggested we cut the end off, where Maddow makes those charges.

To the point of the OP, though. that was a good catch!

Why run a story on a known fake document that you can't attribute to any source and the info was public knowledge?

What was the point of this, other than to fabricate more FAKE NEWS?


This...then to speculate on its origin is complete hackery

Maddow was a Rhodes Scholar and an Ivy League grad,


and has a doctorate, as her admirers will not let anyone forget

she is the darling of and the pet of the left from David Letterman to Dan Rather to Hillary Clinton (Hollywood, the media and national politicians), they all extol her virtues and promote her as a font of leftist truf
and to top it off she is a paragon of fem/les nation

as a journalist, she's a hack. she is agenda driven and her only goal is to take down conservatism and Republicans. she is insufferably and interminably self congratulatory and along with the rest of the msm she has been chasing ghosts of wisps of ephemera. she tried for a full year to tie Christie to bridgegate, she strained so hard and totally flamed out and she is doing the same thing again now

however, the report she did the other night that was referenced by another poster a couple of days ago regarding Pence and Flynn is something that I have wondered about myself.

When Flynn fell on his sword without a single word of denial or protest, and the narrative was that he had lied to Pence and ever since then Pence has seemed, pensive, it just seemed awkward and too convenient. All Flynn did was not register as a foreign agent/advisor. it was ok for him to be a foreign agent, he just needed to register. And he did not mention his contacts with Russians, but there was nothing illegal about his contacts (Dems still trying to prove the contrary).

But Pence had already made public statements saying that Flynn had no foreign contacts. Did Flynn cover for Pence? That is what Maddow is asserting.

Then in Maddows clips she pointed out that when Brett Baer questioned Pence about the Flynn situation, instead of answering his questions he responded that he had only found out about Flynn's activities that day. he repeated that twice to questions that did not ask for that information. It would be such minor points for Pence to prevaricate upon and then to cover it up would just be compounding folly. If any of that happened.

This is the last gasp of the Russiagate witch hunt imo. It's pure speculation by Maddow at this point. But it did make me wonder at the time. You can bet it will be part of Mueller's investigation,and the truth will likely come out one way or another.
