Trump Declines to Release List of His Visitors at Mar-a-Lago
NYT ^ | 9/15/17 | ERIC LIPTON

Posted on 09/16/2017 1:35:38 PM PDT by ColdOne

The surprising move by the Department of Justice, which had been ordered in July by a federal court to complete its review of Mar-a-Lago visitor records, came after weeks of promotion by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, the liberal nonprofit group known as CREW, that it would soon be getting the Mar-a-Lago visitors logs.

Instead, on Friday the Justice Department released a State Department list of just 22 names — all of them members of the delegation of the Japanese prime minister — who visited the club in February for a meeting with President Trump.

The dispute centers on what kind of records related to private individuals visiting the president should be open to public inspection. The refusal to disclose the full list of presidential visitors’ names also brings renewed scrutiny to the president’s private business empire and raises questions about why the administration would want to withhold information that could reveal possible conflicts of interest.

In this day and age, I wouldn’t tell them a single person’s name.

It would only cause them to be subject to criminal activity around their homes and workplaces.

Employees, stockholders, family members...

Not a chance!

This is crap. This is like the Spanish Inquisition going after Marrano Jews, the Conversos, as Dennis Praeger has said.

Release a list of visitors to The White House! ok I get that. But, release a list of people who came to my private home? Yeah, no.
