Maddow's show and tax release tonight is bad for DJT and good for Americans [View all]

Yes, not much info was released. But it gets the tax issue back into the news - bigly. It's all anyone will talk about tomorrow. Rachel did a good job explaining how this return was only the tip of the iceberg and we need to know more.

As for distractions -- they don't matter much, I think. Distraction for one news cycle from healthcare isn't a big deal. And the GOP is screwed with the healthcare bill no matter how it turns out.
Taxes may distract from Comey tomorrow, and may distract from the EO aimed at destroying government. But all in all, it's worth it to get the nation talking about taxes again.

Let's just all hope that the broadcast media tomorrow talks about the vital need America has for Trump's detailed tax returns and financial entanglements. If the dominant story tomorrow is about the number of dollars of taxes paid I'm going to despair about our country again.
