People here who are writing that someone in government released this (partial) tax return are lying.  A lot of people have had access to Mr. Trump's tax returns in the past 12 years (this return is from 2005) so some connection to an imaginary "shadow government" is ridiculous. 

There is no restriction in law about the press publishing the tax returns of anyone that have been delivered to the press.  This is settled law.  People suggesting that Rachel Maddow should be prosecuted are ignorant of the law, and SCOTUS decisions.

The interesting thing about the tax returns show that either Mr. Trump is lying about his net worth, or he invests terribly.   Even in 2005, he earned essentially nothing on the $ billions he claims to have.
