Tucker on FISA Abuse Memo: The Media Oppose Transparency When It Hurts the Democrats

‘The prospect of transparency has triggered panic in the Democratic Party’

RUSH EXCERPT:
CARLSON: "And, yet, for some reason, the prospect of transparency has triggered panic in the Democratic Party and among its guard in the media. Just a year ago “The Washington Post,” for example, adopted the pomp pose and yet indisputable true slogan democracy dies in darkness. Just this week that paper dismissed the congressional memo as, quote, a hyper partisan attempt to discredit Mueller. Of course, the post would have no way of knowing that they haven’t seen the memo. They don’t want you to see it, either. How did democracy dies in darkness become some things are best kept secret? Atlantic T. Turns out when transparency hurts Democrats, the media oppose transparency remember when CNN’s Chris Cuomo warned viewers they would be breaking the law simply by reading John Podesta’s leaked emails. Most agree with the media on this. As the onion put it together the FBI warns Republican memo could undermine faith in massive unaccountable secret government agencies. No surprise there. Most people, everywhere, would rather avoid accountability if at all possible. The federal government’s transparency caucus has always been notably small. The question is are there legitimate reasons to oppose releasing the memo. Reasons craven for cheering Democrats or career aspiration. Only two legitimate reasons come to mind. Are the contents of the memo provablably false and would releasing the memo imperil national security. Those are realens questions. So far the answer to both appears to be no. In other words, there is no excuse for withholding this document from the public, claims to the contrary are partisan barking and you ought to ignore them."
