“Redacted” is a Synonym for “Censorship” and an Attack on Democracy

I was furious when fake Attorney General William Barr redacted huge parts of Robert Mueller’s report. To redact is a synonym for censorship. Our government is committing a crime when they tell the American people that they are “too stupid” to know the truth, or that they “have no right to learn facts” about an issue. Our government has forgotten that America is 330 million people; not a group of buildings or even a geographical area. We, the people are the United States of America.

When a judge ordered Trump’s Department of Justice to hand over the transcript of Jared Kushner’s interview with the FBI contained in the Mueller report, Barr’s DOJ refused. It claimed “a member of the intelligence community” needs to ensure the material has been properly redacted, a department attorney said Wednesday.

This is bullshit. Even Richard Nixon claimed that the people have a right to know if their president or another elected official “is a crook.”

The problem we have today is that every member of Trump’s circle of sinners is a crook. Their histories are fraught with criminal activity, accounts of racism, bigotry, and attacks on the rights of working class Americans. Trump’s is the most corrupt administration in American history.

They continue to cover-up the truth with lies and misdirection. This has become the new norm, and broadcast television “news” refused to report the facts today.

Trump and his entire administration are unfit to live lives of luxury and privilege in Washington. Trump and his circle of sinners continue to use taxpayer money to play the role of billionaires and millionaires.

A fun fact; President Obama’s administration was the most transparent in history. Trump’s is the most secretive. The Obama administration was the first in modern history without a major scandal. Trump’s administration has been riddled with dozens of scandals and sexual escapades.
