As a taxpayer thatās literally my house, and I want to know who Trump is letting in.
Time for a lawsuit.
āI would use the greatest minds. I know the best negotiators. Iām in New York ā I know the good ones, the bad ones. I always say: āI know the ones people think are good.ā I know people youāve never heard of that are better than all of them.ā
Back to court you go, Donnie.
HAHAHAHAHAHAā¦ātransparencyā??? Thatās for bashing weak people when Iām on the campaign trail. Now that Iām KING weāre not having no stinkinā transparency!!!ā
If Trump has a little something on the side who visited the White House once, he certainly would want that name kept private. The reasons I suspect he has a special friend are 1) heās a rich old guy and 2) that famous look on Melaniaās face during the inauguration that hinted at marital problems. But hey, what do I know?
I think about a bazillion people should file a FOIA request. Individually. So they send this out routinely to avoid the nuisance.
Whaddaya hiding there, Donnie???
If memory serves, the visitorsā logs do not include visitors to the residential areas. I donāt give a damn who he f***s upstairs. I just want to know who heās planning on inviting to the gang-bang when heās deciding how to f*** us.
Just thinking the same thing. Iām sure the attorneys for NYT AND WAPo are busy readying their lawsuits. Donnie will soon realize how stupid this move is. NYT fought for (and) won its case in the Pentagon Papers. This is childās play for the Old Gray Lady. This aināt Manhattan real estate, Don the Moron.
White House Communications Director Michael Dubke said in a statement that the administration would keep the logs secret due to āthe grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.ā
ā¦
hmmm
Side-note (from that US News article)
āItās a setback, they punched another hole through the Freedom of Information Act in seemingly blind deference to [the] presidentās desire that none of his officials be subject to disclosure under the law,ā Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton told U.S. News.
Any word from Judicial Watch yet?
Too many Russian oligarchs and foreign agents visiting the Oval Office ā¦ eh trump?
āā¦ grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually.ā What nonsense.
I would like a reporter, just once, to stand up and respond to this kind of tripe in this way: āMr. President, you know you are bullshitting the American public once again here. That is patently obvious. Now, letās get to the truth. Why are you hiding who comes into the White House?ā
He doesnāt want anyone knowing tthat few people actually visit.
Come on, people. Time is money, right? Why wait until he leaves office to start make more brand Trump deals.
For a guy who loves his $ more than his country and his office, waddaya expect? My Army, my office ando get outa here ya rubes?
No Fckinā Tax Returns, No Fckinā Peace.
Maybe an national news / journalism outlet will point out that Trump wants to see in everyoneās business but wonāt let anyone see into his. Iāll not hold my breath.
Chiselinā Trump, with typical puzzled look on face: āI donāt understand why you are so interested in my visitorsā logs. They usually flush them down the toilet themselves. And, if not, we have plenty of wonderful staff at Mar-a-Lago who will flush them for them.ā
Yet one more chance for Democrats to scream, āWhat is he trying to hide?ā And they should.
First protest in spaceā¦$750.
Dream on! It seems the WH press corps has lost its bite.
Did you not read to the bottom?
In his statement, Dubke said that the Trump administrationās decision is one āthe Obama White House successfully defended in federal court,ā referring to a 2013 appeals court ruling that held the Executive Branch does not need to release White House visitor logs.
Only option is to make this a political issue and shame him for not being as transparent as Obama.
