This is going to be so disappointing for the people thinking he paid 0.

Trump may have leaked this on purpose.

Isn't it illegal for Maddow (or anyone) to disclose someone else's tax returns?

As long as she didn't do anything illegal to obtain them, then no. There is a long history of presidents releasing their tax returns. It's clearly a matter of public interest. Trump will likely threaten to sue, unless he listens to his handlers for a change, but the burden of proof would be on him to prove the returns are not of public interest. So it'd be a losing battle and the legal proceedings would only bring more damaging information to the surface, so I don't think that even he is stupid enough to press the issue.

You know it's a federal crime to release someone's tax returns without permission right?

And that person happens to be in charge of the attorney general?

I wonder if Mr/Ms Maddow is familiar with contempt of court for witholding information...

She has them. They show nothing. Hence the ridiculous pontificating.
