Discussion: Trump Admin Sets New Gov't Record For Censoring, Withholding Files Under FOIA

Is this not mistaken?
We know from Devin Nunes and the other Republicans of the House intelligence committee how strongly the governing party values “transparency.”
Mightn’t many of the applicants for FOI requests have signed NDAs?

Oh I bet anything related to the Obummer years would be fast track for release, especially if it is related to his many scandals. You know the thought process behind the tan suit, why he had his feet on the desk and of course his choice of mustard.

People who asked for records under the Freedom of Information Act received censored files or nothing in 78 percent of 823,222 requests, a record over the past decade. When it provided no records, the government said it could find no information related to the request in a little over half those cases.

Whatever do you mean? Do you think the $5.8 billion in free media coverage he got which was more than the $2.billion in free media Hillary got pushed him over the finish line? Sadly, they’re still doing it. It’s donnie donnie donnie all day all night to the exclusion of more newsworthy items.

I was looking at it more as a campaign contribution, in effect. Removing a big cloud from over the GOP for any fence sitting GOP voters.

Diversions come in all sizes and shapes.

But Trump is personally more accessible to reporters asking questions than President Barack Obama, and he released as many details about his medical records as previous presidents.

Says Who?
