" if Maddow didn't solicit getting the documents it is not illegal"
Are you a criminal attorney?
I always thought RECEIVING stolen goods was against the law and so is REVEALING someone's tax returns.
For it to be considered "receiving stolen property" the receiving party would need to deprive the owner of said property. Since it is a copy I doubt one can construe that as depriving the owner of possession.

I know one thing...whom ever got access to his tax return, without Trump knowledge or permission, may be in big trouble for releasing private information.
But even so....making 150 million and paying 38 million after deductions doesn't seem out of line to me. Of course that is only one year's taxes and only a couple pages out of many that Madcow has.
What is outrageous is the following who don't pay taxes:
Daily Beast confirms. They wrote $150 million in income, and covered $36.3 million split between two federal income taxes. White House said $38 million, so there may be one more tax the DB isn't including. Either way, this just confirmed Trump is very wealthy and pays tens of millions on taxes in a single year. Not helpful to the Dem narrative. Probably should have kept this hidden.
Makes me wonder if Rachel Maddow even looked at those tax returns before she started her on-air bloviating about Trump.
I don't see what all the buzz was about. It was just a few pages and really did not tell us much other than Trump actually did pay taxes one year.
All of this silliness could all have been avoided if Trump had done what every other presidential candidate had done since Nixon and released his returns as he once promised he would do. DJT, more than most any other presidential candidate, owed Americans transparency given all of the his unknown business relationships and their possible conflicts of interest. Instead he chooses to keep the American public in the dark.
"I don't see what all the buzz was about."
I wouldn't be so open to admit this.
The left, from hillary to the LSMhas been CLAIMING for MONTHS thatv TRUMP PAID zero TAXES.
NOW WE KNOW HE DID.
If you can't see it, THERE IS NO USE TRYING TO HAVE an intelligent discussion with you.
Not really, this is why I asked if you ever run a business before.
With his properties alone, we expect him to have a depreciation of 100 + million a year regardless. This is a normal tax write off for those who own properties, he probably owns billion dollars worth of properties.
Then there is depreciation on his boat, plane, various cars.
Nothing wrong with it. The point is a business can have a high revenue and still have a huge loss. That's how businesses sometimes works and why Uncle Sam allows the loss to be carried over.
I'm not sure what you mean by not really.
I indicated he had a $915M loss in 1995, you are just guessing that the $100M is depreciation, it could also be a carryover loss from 1995 or something else entirely. All we know is that he had a deduction of $100M, if he released his returns as promised we would know the answer.
