Letters to the Editor Policy

Genius or Dunce

This is a question for you to decide. It seems that someone leaked information to Rachel Maddow concerning two pages of President Donald Trump's 2005 tax forms.  The questions are these: Did someone illegally, from the IRS or some other government institution abscond with his taxes and give them to Rachel Maddow?  Did someone from Trump's organization give these two pages to MSNBC and specifically, to Rachel Maddow?

Genius, Scenario number one: President Trump or someone in his organization is a "Genius" and decided to leak two pages of President Trump's tax return knowing that someone at MSNBC and particularly Rachel Maddow would take the bait and spew out President Trump's tax papers making him appear to be an honest tax paying multi millionaire or billionaire.

Dunce, Scenario number two: rachel maddow receives president donald trumps tax returns from someone, "what difference does it make (sound familiar)" where she obtain this information? The hatred at MSNBC and Rachel Maddow toward Trump? Trump's words, "They hate me so much that they cannot see straight." were they too blinded by this hatred to understand that releasing this information would help President Donald Trump. Had they been smart enough to realize it would benefit President Trump, they would not have released this information.

My understanding is, in trying to cover up their mistake, MSNBC and Maddow spread a rumor that someone at President Trump's organization released this information to show him in a positive way. Yet, MSNBC and Maddow still released the information. Remember the line from Forest Gump, "stupid is as stupid does."

Where Is She?

Where did Debra Strong go?  For years and years now Debra Strong has been the Chief County Detective.  I remember seeing in the paper she was sworn in as the Chief County Detective many years ago, and now she is gone.  Did she take another position?  Retire?  Or was she just simply replaced without notice?  I read in the article Steve Stoud was taking her place.  But where is she?  She has always done an outstanding job in her position as Chief County Detective, for many years.  I would like to know what is going on with our Commissioners.  And why wasn’t this job listed as vacant for applicants to apply to?  And why isn't Commissioner Arnold involved in any of these decisions?  Something sounds fishy up there!  Usually, where there is smoke there is fire.

Sincerely,

Nicole Bernosky
