Ok. So. here’s the Reader’s digest for you.
Rachel Maddow announced today (3.14.17) that she had some of Trump’s tax records. It was the two summary pages from the 2005 1040.
This is the first piece of his tax returns we have seen in the 21st century.
Yes. He paid taxes in 2005 (Viewable here)
The Alternative Minimum Tax (that he wants to abolish) is the reason he paid 38mil not 6mil.
None of the reporters did anything illegal.
The forms are stamped Client Copy, giving the impression that whoever released them is connected to the Trump family
David Cay Johnston is who received the two pages of the 1040. He is a pulitzer winning journalist. He brought it to Maddow.
The income and the return on assets does not support the level of wealth Trump has claimed. (no articles written yet, twitter helps)
The White House Released a statement
The DNC has released a statement.
If you would like to understand this with more depth, this is a youtube playlist of relevant stories from Maddow to help you frame what’s going on and understand what could be proven or disproven by a full tax return release. She gives you context to everything as much as she can.
