MSNBC and Trump's taxes

So Rachael Maddow had this big buildup to last night's show, she teased that she was going to reveal Trump's 2005 taxes. Lots of hype leading up to the big revelation.

What did she reveal? That Trump paid $36.5M in taxes that year, on income of 153M.

So what was the big "gotcha" moment that MSNBC thought they had? How does this do anything, other than make Trump look like a responsible taxpayer? Not sure what MSNBC was thinking, other than driving up ratings for just that one night.

I don't know if Maddow claimed that those numbers indicate some kind of presidential scandal? I also assume she didn't say on-air that Trump paid his taxes like a responsible citizen.

At one point, Maddow claimed that her revelation of Trump's taxes was "potentially historic". In what way?
