Rachel Maddow refused to bow to Donald Trump’s baseless threats. After the Trump White House had threatened her, the MSNBC host reported on a leak of Trump’s 2005 tax return.

Maddow said, “The White House confirmed to us tonight that this return is real. They threatened us and said it is illegal for us to publish it. It is not illegal for us to publish it.”

It’s true that the unauthorized release of federal tax returns is a criminal offense, however Maddow argued on the air that releasing the tax returns was a matter of public interest, given that every single president has done so since Nixon except for this one, who just so happens to be under scrutiny for his foreign ties. Thus MSNBC was exercising its First Amendment right.

Trump promised to release his tax returns if elected, and then once elected had his surrogates announce that no one cared. Polls disagree with the Trump administration’s claims on the matter of his tax returns. Americans think they do matter and they want to see them.

2. Maybe she should show him what's what

By spending an entire episode talking about all the charity work he did in 2005 that was sent directly by Donald trump. That will really show him

3. Well, well, well it looks to me

like what she was doing last night was very legit. It now seems to me that the dictator is kinda sorta very upset. If this was something handed over by him he would not be this upset and his lawyer would not be upset either.

4. He's gonna be upset no matter what. It's his M.O.
