You really believe that or are you jus' playin'? If so, then let's first "shine a little light" on Hiliary's server. Or Barry's secret dealings with Insurance giants in not-open-to-tha-public white house meeting before unleashing Obissmalcare...or NancyP's "you have to pass the document before you see what's in it"--there's your lefty's attitude towards sunlight. So it's kind of difficult to take your statement sincerely, since it only seems to apply to those who don't agree with you instead of, you know, equally for everyone, and I'm getting that based on the actions of folks from the left side of the aisle, along with their comments. Sunlight should apply equally to everyone, just like laws should apply equally to illegal border-crossers as to citizens--but somehow, they do not.

Well, in this case, sunlight is equally being applied to people involved with the Trump admin AND the Obama admin...

I'm not at all convinced that it is, certainly at least not yet. James Comey recited as facts certain things that would be sufficient to convince me, if I were a juror, that Hillary Clinton committed multiple federal felony offenses, beyond a reasonable doubt--beyond any doubt, as a matter of fact. I can see that it might have been difficult to obtain a conviction from a jury comprised of people who did not understand the national defense information security system. I would tend to include Hillary herself in the number of those who did not, and on a prospective basis I would argue very strongly that the system whereby politicians gain access to classified information is in dire need of severe changes.

To summarize, all I ask is that everyone be measured against the same rule, applied with equal vigor to all. I see no indication so far that such is going to be the case. I tend to fault republicans, who held majorities in both houses of congress for two years and did nothing.

So what are your feelings about the news that Kushner has been using WhatsApp to conduct official government business?
