Is there a way for Trumpers to spin this one?

"It's a national security issue for the whole world to know exactly who and when VIPs have visited the White House."
Obama removed the meetings he didn't want you to see. Jesus, do some research

Why even bother reading, let along commenting on a thread you care nothing about?

Post a link or two to a reputable source. Not Breitbart, InfoWars, or the various conspiracy-based web sites, but some reputable source of factual information.

I was thinking the same. That's why you browse the threads to find a topic you care about and wish to comment on.

For reference, from Twitter in 2012: "Why is @BarackObama spending millions to try and hide his records? He is the least transparent President--ever--and he ran on transparency."

Unless you can verify your false accusation it will be ignored.

It is now known that Obama redacted some visitor logs, involving 'highly sensitive' meetings (some person that would not want their visit known for whatever reason, which may include foreign diplomats divulging secret information), the visit of personal friends, and even the names of friends of the two young daughters that would visit.

One article noted that, at least on a few occasions, Mr. Obama would go outside the White House grounds to meet with someone (for instance, to meet with a DNC official, so as to not conduct purely political business inside the White House).

Now, it appears that President Trump has decided to not release any names on the visitor log, unless compelled to do so by a specific law.

Perhaps one reason for Mr. Trump's change of heart (from a few years ago) is this: we know that Representative Nunes visited the White House on that Tuesday evening, and met with some person, unknown, to review the 'secret intelligence documents'.

Perhaps the visitor's log would give some insight into whom Mr. Nunes met with that evening. Or, maybe the log would not indicate any other visitor at that time, meaning that he met with someone in the White House.

It could well be that Mr. Trump decided to forego any release of the visitor logs, rather than face a new scandal concerning what the logs would reveal.

It is now well known that nothing you stated in your post is factual,nothing.That could well mean it's not true.
