Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The White House does not release that kind of information.
yes, they do, crafting bills and seeking expertise for that is what they do for living and there is no reason to hide that.
there is, however, reason to hide declining health of a president who would like to run for a second term 😂
Logs of visitor names are public information, but who they met with and what was discussed is not. Executive privilege keeps that information confidential.
you are really bad at this, spin doctor.
there would be no reason not to say "x met with y to discuss z law". even if the information would be technically confidential (i am not going to fact check that), there wouldn't be reason not to volunteer that information.
there is a reason to hide behind technicality if they are lying and defrauding the public, though.
Thanks for demeaning me at the the outset. Gives me an understanding what I'm dealing with.
Executive privledge guards the executive from folks that want to use information for nefarious purposes. As such, the rules are not broken by anyone for any purpose. Hope this helps, but know it will never.
like... electing competent president. got it 😂
Executive privledge has been in effect for this information since Kennedy.
