It's not just the Epstein files. The Trump administration is withholding all kinds of public records

[mudwhistle]

Trump is holding back public records? That means they were never public records. If course, how con Trump hold anything back, had democrats not kept public records secret?

Trump bad, deep state rino democrats good

Trump isn't releasing the stuff that Democrats have been hiding for 5 years. Trump, he bad.

Trump just said the reason he and Epstein had a falling out is because Epstein "stole" one of his underage girls, Virginia Giuffre.

Of course the two pervs fought over a kid named VIRGINia.


Cankles also said, "I never had the privilege of going to his island."

Very interesting choice of words, bubba.

The moron also repeated the lie Clinton had gone to Epstein's island "28 times". As always, Trump exaggerates a hoax. The Clinton-went-to-Epstein's-island hoax is 26 times, not 28.

Trump can't even get his fake facts right.

/-----/ No, Epstein was hitting on young staff members at Mar-a-Lago. That's why Trump kicked his sorry ass to the curb. I'm not saying what you posted is false, but it's not the main reason.

Appeals court rules Trump clamp-down on spending data defies Congress’ authority​

A federal appeals court panel shot down a Trump administration bid to make secret a public database of federal spending that researchers say is crucial to ensure the administration is not flouting Congress’ power of the purse.

In an order issued Saturday evening, the three-judge D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals panel voted unanimously to give the administration until Friday to put the data back online.

It's not just the Epstein files. The Trump administration is withholding all kinds of public records.

Freedom of Information Act requests are regularly being ignored and rebuffed.

President Donald Trump’s about-face on releasing federal records on convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has drawn rebuke from even some of his most stalwart allies.

But Trump, who’s declared himself the “most transparent” president in history, has received far less criticism for the ways in which his administration has sought to block public access to records that Americans have long been able to secure.


Every day, journalists like me, along with scholars at think tanks and campaign researchers, file public records requests to see how the government is working — or not working. These records often serve as the basis for investigative journalism, academic papers and even campaign ads.

Trump is withholding lots of publicly accessible files. The man than called himself the "most transparent" president in History is anything but. Law suits and the courts will have to demand access to these files. Free media cannot do their job without them. This appears to be another attack on the free media and to facts that may be incriminating or embarrassing to this administration. Not one should be surprised.

PURE UNADULTERATED BULLSHIT

GOVERMENT AGENCIES - AKA- THE SWAMP - THE DEEP STATE - HAVE HATED FOIA REQUESTS SINCE DAY ONE

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

That they are resistant to FOIA requests is one thing.

They are not a 'swamp' at all, but a government culture that is more amenable to taxpayers that most national govenments.

A libertarian, nihilist, or constitutionalist is out of touch with reality.
