I am sure you will come up with some reason why we don't deserve transparency from our government and how this is an example of 4 -D chess but for the millionth time imagine how you would freak out if this was Obama.


"President Trump asked senior White House staff members to sign confidentiality agreements, much like he did as a private citizen, according to a reported column in The Washington Post.

Post columnist Ruth Marcus wrote she obtained a draft of the non-disclosure agreement, calling it a "doozy." If found violating the NDA, staffers would be penalized $10 million, to be paid to the government. She wrote that the $10 million figured likely was watered down in any final version because the people she spoke to about the agreement didn't remember that "jaw-dropping sum."
Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project, said in an email Sunday night, “Public employees can’t be gagged by private agreements. These so-called NDAs are unconstitutional and unenforceable.”

How did she "obtain" it? And how does she know it's real?

Also, here's the original, that USAT (aka "reporting on reporters") copied from:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/opin...6f4522-29ee-11e8-b79d-f3d931db7f68_story.html

You may note that it's headlined "Opinions".



Obviously she can't reveal her source or they would risk being sued by our lawsuit happy president.

Is that not clear to you based on the very definition of what an NDA is?

Yes. It is under opinion but that doesn't mean the opinion of a constitutional lawyer doesn't Trump your opinion

Assuming this is true, and I have serious doubts that it is, an NDA like this wouldn’t be enforceable, as it runs counter to public policy.

In either scenario, a non story of zero consequence.

An NDA is an NDA. If you are asked to sign it as a condition of working, tough ####.

Do it or don't but it's not unusual.

Christ you are a whiney little bitch.

Your comment and subsequent discussion wouldn’t be needed if you read the article moron.

These NDA’s are unenforceable and unconstitutional. You scream about your 2a rights but then don’t care about others freedom of speech


Go shove your head back up Trumps butt

For someone that doesn't understand the purpose, meaning or intentions of the document, you certainly throw the word unconstitutional around a lot.
