    Mornin’ Joe has a good point because it’s been the M.O. in the past 50 days: vagueness and deflection. Vagueness in the aspect of “POTUS Obama wiretapped Trump Tower” to deflection of POTUS Donnie possibly being the source of the leaked two page 1044 tax form from 2005 to draw away from AHCA and Russian probe story. – PB/TK

    MSNBC anchor Joe Scarborough on Wednesday backed the theory that President Donald Trump leaked part of his own 2005 tax return to reporter David Kay Johnston, who revealed some documents from the return along with MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night.

    During an appearance on Maddow’s show, Johnston said it was “entirely possible” that Trump sent the documents anonymously, saying Trump had “leaked all sorts of things” over the years.

    In a series of tweets on Wednesday, the “Morning Joe” host pointed out that the 2005 federal tax return depicted the president in a more positive light than some expected — Trump paid a federal income tax rate of 25%, despite writing off nearly $100 million in business losses — and that the fanfare surrounding their release helped overshadow questions about Trump’s ties to Russia and the troubled rollout of the GOP’s new healthcare bill.

    The MSNBC anchor also dismissed CNN anchor Chris Cuomo, who questioned why Scarborough blamed Trump without solid evidence.
