Nondisclosure of secrets is not a coverup.
The age of people having the internet and the belief they know and have a right to know everything is the age of ignorance. Governments have secrets.
People have no rights to know government secrets
It is reasonable to debate the benefits and costs of government secrecy.
Both sides have valid arguments.
I understand "transparency" is not absolute and, realistically, cannot be applied to everything in government, but in a free society I should think that alleged felonious criminal activity by elected officials must be exposed lest these powerful people in positions of authority are not subject to the Equal Protection clause of the 14th Amendment a presumption which is not beyond the realm of possibility in "modern" American politics).
