The Trump administration is trying to convince you that it's the most transparent administration in history.

Nothing could be further from the truth

"You know what's better than saying ‘Trust me’? It's just full transparency.” That’s what Donald Trump told Sean Hannity on Fox news a couple months ago. So let’s take a look at his record of “transparency”, because it’s about as opaque as a nuclear reactor shield.

Let’s start with Trump firing all but two inspectors general the same week he touted transparency on Hannity. American Oversight said “The late-night purge was both illegal and an alarming show of contempt for independent oversight.” The only two Trump left in place were the exceedingly corrupt Joseph Cuffari, who oversaw the deletion of Secret Service January 6th text messages, his refusal to review use of force during the peaceful Black Lives Matter protests, his cover-up of sexual misconduct in DHS, and his refusal to publish a report detailing the inability to track separated migrant families. Add to that the fact that he lied to congress about investigations into his own conduct, and was asked to resign multiple times by members of multiple House committees. And only the transparentiest of transparent guys would sue to shut down the IG Integrity Committee, calling it unconstitutional.

The other inspector general that got to keep his job is none other than DoJ’s Mike Horowitz - a partisan hack who investigated whatever Trump told him to investigate. But every other inspector general was shitcanned by the guy who loves to “investigate the investigators” in what can only be described as the biggest attack on transparency since Trump silenced inspectors general during his first term.

Next, let’s talk about the Trump regime’s attack on the Freedom of Information Act. There have been so many federal jobs lost that one might have missed the fact that Trump has gutted FOIA staff at multiple agencies so drastically that it caused Rep Connolly to fire off to send letters to 24 agencies demanding an explanation.
