    How much privacy is expected of the POTUS? Precedent is established and in the case of the Presidency strictly adhered to until as of recently. Nah, the public was given what was owed to it.

      Precedent of Presidents voluntarily releasing their tax returns. This wasn’t voluntary

        Yeah, because the cunt doesn’t give a shit about serving the people he’s supposed to represent. Or do you also think Hitler was entitled to some privacy and the enigma code shouldn’t have been broken?

          Hitler would deserve privacy if he were a United States private citizen. He was not, he was a foreign leader.

            See no he doesn’t if he’s a public official. The task of governing a large population requires transparency. I can’t believe that you argue in good faith that either a murdering fascist or a two bit con from New York deserves access to privacy while handling the affairs of multiple millions of people. Privacy laws do not apply to heads of state. You’re still arguing that these people should be able to avoid accountability for very real crimes.

              There’s still a right to privacy even if you do a job of public servant, unless the law specifically requires the release of those documents.

              Even a real criminal has a right to privacy, you don’t lose all your rights when you commit a crime
