Among sane Americans, the thread's title poses NO real argument. When one take on the role of the most powerful individual on the planet.......taking on life-and-death decisions.......affecting the livelihood of millions and introducing policies (and laws) that have decades-long impact..........the expectations that an ordinary citizen may be entitled to are NOT the same for a president.
The above is what Trump did NOT expect to happen once he was sworn in as president.......but it has. The same boardroom decisions that he may have made, do NOT translate into the oval office.
Of course, what I am alluding to is a barrage of Trump "infractions" that do NOT or should NOT be covered under the banner of "executive privileges" that really imply secrets of state.
Will Barr is 100% wrong in his basic statement that a president is above the law......He tried that when he served GWH Bush.....and got caught being a stooge for Bush senior.
So, when it comes to Trump granting security clearance to his family members, or denying access to his tax returns as he had promised, to stalling possible damaging personal details of his campaign tactics, and the coverups of his philandering, Trump will have to face the reality that he is NOT above the law and that most privacy concerns were left behind once he entered the oval office.
Lack of transparency BREEDS distrust...and that distrust is considerably more damaging than Trump had expected.
