First of all, any network that had the 2 pages of Trump tax returns would have run with them.
Also, both Rachel and her guest agreed that it was possible that Donald sent the tax forms himself. So they were not totally hoodwinked, as some have suggested.
But, whether it was meant as a distraction or not, it was still news and part of the continuing story. Even if they put out to divert the attention from some other story, that diversion is a big part of the story. It shows the people the limits Trump and his people are willing to go to confuse the American people.
So, we should go slowly with the blame game, in my opinion. Rachel is doing the best job she can do and that is more than anyone else I can think of at this time. The tax forms from 2005 are important pieces of evidence. Who knows? Maybe Melania had the forms stashed away in a dresser somewhere? After all, that was the year they were married and the first year, perhaps the only year, that they filed taxes jointly?
Let's go slowly with the criticism of folks that are helping us preserve our nation. Rachel is to be commended, not criticized, in my opinion.

The funny thing is, they saw the tax returns. They saw there was nothing of any real value to them. Yet they ran it anyway. Why would that be, DUmmies?

10. They are evidence that Trump will do or say anything...
....to lie and deceive the people in order to save his own skin and reputation.
