I have no argument with most of what you say here Peter. Except I think they
actually did find out what Burger stole and I think we all know why he stole
the items.
I don't expect to see any change going forward with respect to big corporate
donors and presidential libraries. I don't think it's right but it does
happen.
"let us not forget the reckless disregard for privacy rights under the
previous administration with regards to access to FBI files"
I agree that was probably illegal and an abuse of power, but I also think
that listening in on every single form of communication in America without a
warrant or even probable cause is also a disregard for privacy (not to
mention a violation of the 4th amendment). Bet then I'm no constitutional
scholar or an attorney.
