To me misinformation stems from a lack of t***sparency. When the straight information is given directly to the public it is far harder to make up alternate realities and have a fight over how one side wants to misrepresent what took place behind closed doors.

People should want to get information directly and without unnecessary redaction. Redaction should be for the sole purpose of protecting ongoing investigations, not to hide information that directly proves points that those in charge want to hide.

Nothing ends arguments faster than the straight facts and proof being presented for the public to make up our minds.

The white house appears to be gearing up to hide as much information as possible at a time where what the american people need is the straight facts and t***h. I'm positive that if this were a democrat we would want to see the facts, not have the white house hiding a report and saying there's nothing there.

So I'm just curious, as a Trump supporter do you want to see information straight or have it be hidden?

You've once again made a good case for t***sparency...but at the present, I prefer Obama giving the President his secret for hiding damaging details. With the amount of secrecy surrounding Obama and his hidden life, Donald Trump pales in comparison. Should be like duck soup.

Facts from a president right or left that simply allows information to be seen versus hiding reports.

With house intelligence reports we were constantly seeing everything kept secret when simply letting us see would end arguments.

I thought the debate about t***sparency versus hiding whats going on is pretty basic, yet the right doesn't seem to be able to see that the GOP repeatedly refused to let us see information that there was no reason to hide except it made the right look bad.

So with the GOP in charge how often were we seeing the dems calling to release information and transcripts to the public? Now we are going to see the opposite version, the GOP fighting tooth and nail to keep things hidden when dems want things done openly.

Watch what happens with Cohen's open public hearing. He has nothing keeping him from talking about Trump if he wants to, except Trump. He's already lost his license to practice law, so he isn't exactly worried about attorney client privilege...there is no executive privilege with things that happened before he was president, and Cohen was not part of the white house staff so there is none there. My guess is that Trump's (or white house?) attorneys are going to try to block this...and we are back to the question of who is paying for Trump's attorney's on an issue that involves his personal fixer and crimes that may not have much to do with official business.
