the appearance that something was being "hidden".

There's no call for, no protocol, no expectation that every conversation of govt officials to so be recorded and then subsequently released to the public.

but by "releasing" something, the obvious result is to imply that something was being "hidden", which it wasn't - it's just another conversation.


Someone went out of their way to pick something and release it for political gain.

That's not really good for a government - if you're going to have a government.


If you support teh recording and immediate global or national distribution of all conversations between all govt officials, ok, then you have a position to stand on - but that isn't currently what happens.

If Trump talks to the leader of Japan about N. Korea, should that dialogue be made public?

Kind of defeats the idea.

This is a govt v. no govt debate in the end I think.
