From Western Journalism, “Geraldo: Maddow’s ‘Reveal’ Of Trump’s Taxes Is Today’s Version Of Al Capone’s Vault.”

More than 30 years after his much-hyped TV event turned out to be literally nothing more than a cloud of dust, Geraldo Rivera gladly handed MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow the mantle of Al Capone’s vault Wednesday following her own much-hyped revelation of President Trump’s tax returns.

The revelation turned out to be only two pages from Donald Trump’s 2005 returns indicating he paid $38 million in total taxes.

That amounted to a 25 percent tax rate, higher than the 18.7 percent paid by former President Obama in 2015.
