If Trump did not send the tax forms to David Cay Johnston?

He would not know that there was only two pages. He would not know if Johnston had a 100 more pages with the tax forms?

He would be much more worried about them than he appears to be at this time.

It appears that he knew there was "only" two pages?

And the only way he would know that is if he sent them himself.

Would explain why trump would want to throw a shiny object out there to distract attention. If so, Maddow and Lawrence swallowed the bait and devoted their entire shows to the shiny object instead of the Russia investigation.

And both said that there was the possibility that Donald sent them himself. So, Rachel was not blind to that possibility, as some seem to have suggested.
