    Total transparency only with those segments I want to release.

    I do not think that word means what you think it means.

    Trump wants total transparency? Like the total transparency of his cabinet officials in putting appointments with lobbyists off the public calendar they're required by law to update comprehensively? Like the total transparency of Mike Pence conducting secret meetings with groups of religious extremists to make policy behind the backs of the American public? Like Trump's secret plots with members of Congress to obstruct and impede law enforcement investigations intended to protect the citizens against foreign intervention in our elections? Like the White House ending the long practice of keeping its visitor logs public?
    Feeling great yet, America?

  • That's Mr. Pooh to you.

    I am glad he is going to open it all up for the public because usually when the light comes on the roaches run. This entire investigation started from lies and now i get to see if i am right.

    Man manafort flipping on him must have scared the crap out of him!

    Total transparency? Isn't this the one who removed access to the visitor logs? Who won't answer certain journalists' questions? etc. etc. etc.

  • My Name Is Nobody

    Trump needs to release his tax returns for total transparency.

  • Mike Kennedy

    What a joke. Total transparency? Hey Donnie boy, how about releasing all your tax statements? Total transparency is what you said, but only when it is convenient to you.

    Trump claiming he seeks transparency is rich in irony, considering he avoids it in all other cases (his tax returns, etc.).

    The real question is why Putin decided to make this move at this time. Trump is only doing what he's told.

  • A Man Has No Name

    If you can't trust Trump to pick a campaign manager or personal lawyer that isn't guilty of high crimes. Why would you trust him to pick a Supreme Court Justice?

  • Truthfully

    This one is going to backfire on trump and his republican nutcases. While it may not be nice or appropriate to text and email negative opinions of your boss. It's NOT Illegal!!!

    But that Russian Witch Hunt Produced MANY MANY Arrests, Indictments, Plea Deals and Guilty court cases.

    So WHY are we putting our National Security at RISK for the delusional little man in the White House?? And Why are Americans allowing these republican enablers to continue these outrageous games?

    Time to CLEAN House..................Vote Out All republican enablers in November 2018!

    Release Trump’s taxes, and then we can discuss “transparency”.

    Trump’s burning desire to declassify only select documents is the opposite of transparency.

  • JohnMichael

    Innocent people would want the investigation to continue, just to prove they were innocent! And all those indictments tell me it's not a "witch hunt"! And P.S. YOUR TAXES!!

  • Hater_Baiter

    “What I want is I want total transparency,” .. so release your tax returns you promised.

  • pbgd

    Does Trump also plan to reveal his income tax statements "for total transparency?"

  • Top shelf

    How about we use the term 'treason,' because that's exactly what this is.

  • Charles Myer

    Not everything, just these portions that kind of, not really, support his narrative. Trust Donnie, he never lies, I mean tells the alternative Truth. I can see how he earned his nickname in the 90's, "Don The Con."

  • tstorm

    Trump the traitor.

  • Redd Menace

    The next thing to be released to the public....Trump's taxes.

    If the FBI/DOJ wanted to thwart Trump the time to do it was before the vote-- instead the donald bullied Comey into announcing prematurely that there may be more Hillary emails-- there were not but that New conference swayed some voters away from hillary -- the FBI/DOJ did not release info on Paige and Russian Collusion/coordinated leaks of DNC emails with Wikileaks and the Russian Trolls/Bots.

    Trump is guilty of treason and he will do anything to discredit Muellers investigation as the noose tightens on him and his criminal family.

  • John bailey

    I am just shocked that they feel carter page was violated. The dude was acting like a Russian asset. I think our intelligence services would have been negligent if he was not under surveillance. trump is guilty of something. maybe he did not collude directly, but he condoned those close to him to do so. He is either guilty of collusion to win the election or he benefitted from condoned collusion which makes him an illegitimate president. Either way, he is not fit for office and should be removed.

  • Alex Ross

    The baby president should declassify his taxes.

    "Total transparency" says the guy who STILL has not released his tax returns and had meetings with Russians in the Oval Office and with Putin where none of his advisers or cabinet members were allowed to be present.
