The conduct of Trump's attorneys in their challenge for excluding his records from disclosure is a total farce. It totally ignores the already established precedents of the Nixon years that acting as a public office holder means the records and actions taken while you occupied a tax-supported office are accessible because you are totally accountable to those who elected you.
Their argument that this is a political witch hunt to bring about partisan harm ignores a basic fact of our checks and balance system of government. If you've done something wrong, it's a damn right for the Congress to ascertain and assess what happened. Trying to conceal your records of performance is little more than an admission you've done something wrong and need to hide its disclosure.
The fact that Trump continues to relentlessly profess the election was stolen and continues to threaten and belittle opponents in order to support his power ego is more than enough evidence that his malfeasance while in office needs discovery. And needs it as expeditiously as possible. (Enlightened Prisoner comment 11-30-21)
