Turnabout Is Fair Play


We are now debating a phone call between a president and a world leader. Why would any of us have access to this call? Have you ever heard the details of any other phone call between a world leader and an American president?

Meanwhile, former President Barack Obama still has never released his college transcripts. There's never been a single leak. You'd think his college records were classified.

But the real question that must be asked: Why can't we see transcripts of Obama's conversations with world leaders? What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

We've now seen Trump's conversation. I want to see Obama's conversations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

We all heard Obama whisper on an open microphone that, once reelected, he could give Putin whatever he wanted. So what do you think Obama said during private, classified calls to Putin?

If we have a right to listen to Trump's calls, why can't we listen to Obama's calls with world leaders? We need something against which we can measure Trump's supposed "crimes."
