Trump's war on freedom

Trump is at war at home and abroad.

Donald Trump showed a small inkling that he might be able to address some responsibility as commander-in-chief. Don't be fooled as his pretending to do his job is just another distraction.

As a news and political analyst, my allegation is that Donald Trump's motivation for becoming President was three-fold:

1) He was running from something, and the Presidency would become his cover

2) He had a "big power play" in mind that would reap huge rewards for the Trump empire

3) He is conflicted and compromised by business interests where Russians and other corporate powers are leveraging him as their puppet

Today's news is that Trump is hiding The White House Visitor's Log. Come on, let's see it. Trump is ignoring the freedom of information act, and he is trying to shield his actions from We the People. That is but another illegal act. Put it on the stack, and we'll see you in court.

"The National Security Archive, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW), and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University have all filed a suit under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) calling for the release of the logs. 
The suit has formally been filed against the Department of Homeland Security, as the organizations say the Secret  Service has not provided the log information despite FOIA requests. 
“We hoped that the Trump administration would follow the precedent of the Obama administration and continue to release visitor logs, but unfortunately they have not.” CREW Executive Director Noah Bookbinder said in a statement. 
“Given the many issues we have already seen in this White House with conflicts of interest, outside influence, and potential ethics violations, transparency is more important than ever, so we had no choice but to sue.”"
