MSNBC announced this morning the immediate launch of a new series entitled “Rachel Maddow Investigates,” seeking to take advantage of the tide of public adulation following Maddow’s exposé yesterday dramatically revealing that President Trump lawfully paid his taxes 12 years ago,
In the pilot episode of her new hard-hitting investigative series, Maddow will open Al Capone’s secret vault on live television to reveal its contents.
The dramatic revelation will be preceded with a two-hour special edition of The Rachel Maddow Show in which she will speculate on what she will find in the vault and how it reflects the dangers posed by the Donald Trump presidency.
During a press conference this morning, this reporter pointed out to Maddow that Al Capone’s vault had already been publicly opened by Geraldo Rivera in 1986 and was found to have been empty. This observation was met by hisses and comments of derision by the other reporters in the room, who went on to ask Maddow for one-on-one interviews to promote her new show.
Future episodes of Rachel Maddow Investigates are expected to include gripping investigations into who is buried in Grant’s tomb, who kidnapped the Lindbergh baby, and whether the sun rotates the Earth.
