Opening the books on the outgoing administration would be a booster shot for democracy.<\/h4>\n<\/div>\n

President-elect Donald Trump will face pervasive doubts about his legitimacy from the day he takes office. His opponents will likely portray him as governing in unprecedented and reckless ways. The best response to such charges is to open the books and expose how the Obama administration commandeered far more power than most Americans realized.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Trump should follow the excellent precedent set by President Obama. In 2009, shortly after he took office, Obama released many of the secret Bush administration legal memos<\/a> that explained why the president was supposedly entitled to order torture<\/a>, deploy troops<\/a> in American towns and cities, and ignore the Fourth Amendment\u2019s prohibition<\/a> on warrantless, unreasonable searches. The disclosures signaled a new era in Washington and helped give Obama a reputation as a champion of civil liberties.<\/p>\n

Turnabout is fair play. Trump should quickly reveal the secret memos underlying Obama\u2019s \u201ctargeted killing\u201d drone assassination program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Administration lawyers defeated lawsuits\u00a0by the ACLU<\/a>, The New York Times<\/em><\/a>, and others seeking disclosure of key legal papers<\/a> on how the president became judge, jury\u00a0and execution<\/strong>er.\u00a0A Trump administration could disclose the memos and white papers without endangering anything other than the reputation of the soon-to-be former president and his policymakers.<\/p>\n

Opening the files at the Pentagon, CIA, and State Department\u00a0on U.S. intervention in the Syrian Civil War would vindicate Trump\u2019s warnings on the campaign trai<\/strong>l to plunging deeper into that morass.\u00a0Pentagon-backed Syrian rebels have openly battled CIA-backed rebels<\/a>.\u00a0The U.S. has armed and bankrolled Al Qaeda-linked groups in Syria despite federal law prohibiting providing material support to terrorist groups. Americans deserve to see the bureaucratic smoking guns on this fiasco.<\/div>\n
\n
\n

\n

Trump should also reveal the paper trail preceding and following the U.S. bombing of Libya in 2011.<\/strong>\u00a0Former secretary of State Hillary Clinton labeled the U.S. attack on Libya as \u201csmart power at its best<\/a>\u201d but that nation has been in chaos ever since the U.S. joined an assault commenced by France and Britain<\/a>.\u00a0What did the U.S. government know and when did it know it regarding the likely effects of\u00a0toppling Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Laying out the record could help prevent similar follies in the future.\u00a0It is naive to assume that \u201ctruth will out\u201d from federal bureaucracies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is vital for a Trump White House to compel disclosures because the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) has become largely a mirage.\u00a0<\/strong>While Obama boasted of \u201cthe most transparent administration<\/a> in history,\u201d federal agencies slammed the door on routine requests \u2014 especially from the media. The Associated Press reported in 2015 that the Obama administration \u201cset a record again<\/a> for censoring government files or outright denying access to them\u201d under FOIA.\u00a0Federal agencies were also hit by a record number of lawsuits<\/a> contesting FOIA denials in 2015.<\/p>\n

If Hillary Clinton had won the presidency, some people would have blamed the State Department\u2019s \u201cslow walking<\/a>\u201d of FOIA requests for her emails (which she improperly kept on a private server). The FBI worked through 650,000 emails from Anthony Weiner\u2019s computer<\/a> in eight days but the State Department claimed it needed 75 years to fully answer a FOIA request<\/a> on Hillary Clinton\u2019s aides\u2019 emails.\u00a0A federal judge<\/a>\u00a0and the agency\u2019s inspector general<\/a>\u00a0slammed its FOIA stonewalling.<\/p>\n

The Department of Homeland Security also has a dreadful FOIA record;\u00a0the agency\u00a0permitted political appointees to stifle FOIA responses in a process that \u201creeks of a Nixonian enemies list<\/a>,\u201d California Republican Darrell Issa said when he was\u00a0chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee.\u00a0Under Obama, the Transportation Security Administration, part of the DHS, became far more intrusive and abusive, launching \u201cenhanced patdowns<\/a>\u201d that, as USA TODAY noted, \u201crequire screeners to touch passengers\u2019 breasts and genitals.\u201d The TSA conceals almost all information over its groping (which has caught zero terrorists, or else we would have heard about it a hundred times) with a \u201csensitive security information<\/a>\u201d FOIA designation that justifies perpetual secrecy.\u00a0Exposing TSA coverups<\/a> and reining in the agency would create a bounty of early good will for the Trump administration.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s promise to end and replace the Affordable Care Act<\/a>\u00a0would be greatly assisted by releasing the memos behind Obama\u2019s endless \u201cfixes\u201d to that law. For instance, a van-load of senior IRS financial managers<\/a> were summoned in 2014 to the Old Executive Office Building and only permitted a peak at a secret Office of Management and Budget memo explaining why the Obama administration was entitled to spend $3.9 billion on subsidies for consumer health insurance.\u00a0As The New York Times <\/em>reported last year, the IRS officials \u201cwere told they could read it but could not take notes or make copies. The OMB\u00a0officials left the room to allow their visitors a moment to absorb the document, and then returned to answer a few questions.\u201d Federal judge Rosemary Collyer recently slammed the administration\u2019s actions as unconstitutional<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Many sweeping regulations have lately been rushed into law with shaky rationales or scant evidence.\u00a0Obama relied on \u201cbureaucratic bulldozing<\/a> rather than legislative transparency,\u201d according to The New York Times<\/em>, issuing 50% more \u201cmajor regulations\u201d than the George W. Bush administration. The Environmental Protection Agency<\/a> and other agencies<\/a> have been scandalized by switcheroos to suppress information federal law required them to disclose. Opening the books would be especially helpful for the torrent of midnight edicts<\/a> the Obama team has issued in recent months.<\/p>\n

Recent polls show that fewer than 20% of Americans<\/a> now trust the federal government.\u00a0 Excessive secrecy spurs many Americans to presume that their rulers are up to no good.<\/strong> Regardless of the policies that Trump chooses, it would be a booster shot for democracy to reveal the back story of the Obama era.<\/p>\n
