Rachel Maddow’s Latest ‘Inside-Out’ Scoop Falls Flat

Rachel Maddow will forever be known as the MSNBC host who almost peed herself over the OMG BIG TRUMP TAX RETURN scoop. The entire thing was hilarious, because her “bombshell” just proved what we all thought to be true: Trump paid lots in taxes.

I guess she misses her days in the spotlight, so last night, she tweeted this exciting hint:

We've got a strange exclusive coming up at 9pm ET on MSNBC. In house, we've been calling this our "inside-out" scoop.

— Rachel Maddow MSNBC (@maddow) July 7, 2017

Ooooooh! So exciting! Wondering what it was? *drumroll please*

It was… an unverifiable document!

Maddow claims to have been sent a "red hot" document so sensitive she can't verify it

And now saying maybe it's just someone shopping around sophisticated forgeries

— Jennifer Epstein (@jeneps) July 7, 2017

… because it's a forgery

.@maddow seems to be saying that someone is creating honeypots for the media to dupe them into reporting on bogus stuff.

In other words, Rachel wants everyone to know that she’s too smart to fall for #FakeNews. That’s her big bombshell.

So her big breaking story is that someone tried to sell her a fake story and she didn't fall for it (this time)? Good stuff. https://t.co/IuyepPnwpd

.@maddow reports her team believes "somebody out there is shopping carefully forged documents" on Russia to dupe the media.

— Kyle Griffin (@kylegriffin1) July 7, 2017

In other words, they are looking for another excuse on why this Trump Russian collusion story is falling apart.

Pretty much.

so, essentially she's telling the folks who are trying to trap journalists that she isn't easy

The jokes write themselves.

If they add in some golden showers it just might work. https://t.co/j30pbetD26

Maddow, everyone. Always dropping the hottest bombshells.
