When you know you are doing something wrong, you have to keep it secret, of course. The orange dumpster doesn't care or know any better, but I hope all these shysters "advising" him will be reckoned with on a grand scale by bar associations everywhere come January 2029.
The government con (at any level) works under the unwritten rule of public corruption: "Rules for you, but not for me" This can work in a number of ways. For example, law enforcement turns a blind eye even when you present prosecutable evidence on a silver platter. Or, there is the game of vindictive prosecution. However, it reveals itself, the criminal govt employee or in public office has written or unwritten rules in order to continue the grift with impunity. These are the type of criminal actions the FBI should be investigating and US attorneys prosecuting.
Excellent explanation about something that is self evident, and yet, not given much thought. "The right to access government records — and particularly those that bear the weight of the law — is foundational to the rule of law" is so simple and yet so powerful. For those who question that trump is authoritarian [or trying to be] this literally sheds light on the facts.
I guess "ignorance of the law is no excuse" is no longer an excuse but a reality. Talk about our asses in the wind. Thanks for pointing out the scale of this issue.
