How much privacy is expected of the POTUS? Precedent is established and in the case of the Presidency strictly adhered to until as of recently. Nah, the public was given what was owed to it.
Yeah, because the cunt doesn’t give a shit about serving the people he’s supposed to represent. Or do you also think Hitler was entitled to some privacy and the enigma code shouldn’t have been broken?
See no he doesn’t if he’s a public official. The task of governing a large population requires transparency. I can’t believe that you argue in good faith that either a murdering fascist or a two bit con from New York deserves access to privacy while handling the affairs of multiple millions of people. Privacy laws do not apply to heads of state. You’re still arguing that these people should be able to avoid accountability for very real crimes.
Because there are very few rules that should be universal. “Keeping tax returns secret so they don’t expose the benefits rich people get” isn’t one of them.
They are people. They’ve simply forgotten that we are people too, equal to them in every way except the size of our bank accounts.
As for the Trump supporters, I understand why they supported him in 2016. I struggle to see why they still do after what he’s done since, ie: lowered taxes for the rich again.
He leaked private information of an individual. People are bending over backwards to say how in this case being against privacy is actually good

Precedent of Presidents voluntarily releasing their tax returns. This wasn’t voluntary

Hitler would deserve privacy if he were a United States private citizen. He was not, he was a foreign leader.

There’s still a right to privacy even if you do a job of public servant, unless the law specifically requires the release of those documents.
Even a real criminal has a right to privacy, you don’t lose all your rights when you commit a crime

It’s literally the law, protecting everyone’s privacy
Only a moron thinks the law is inherently moral.
So you’re going to say violating someone’s privacy is moral, but only if you don’t like them? What’s the logic
The logic is that you’re a troll or a Russian bot. Fuck off.
How about this: Billionaires and presidents don’t get to keep their taxes secret. Deal?
He didn’t leak every billionaire’s tax record, so don’t make it a billionaire tax record thing like this post suggests
Your reading comprehension sucks, pal.
There are exceptions to almost every rule. As there should be.
Yes, from the comments I see sentiments like the rich and Trump fans are not people. Just dehumanize your opponents and everything is permissible.

Not dehumanizing them, taking away their private citizen status, because it’s right in the title “Public Official”.
You don’t lose your right to privacy when you work for the government.
He revealed corruption. Whistleblower
No, he did not
I hate transparency too especially when it comes to President of the United States.
Did he release them himself? No? Then he has the same rights as everyone else
Trumptards aren’t people
So I guess killing them is not murder, since they are not people, right?
Your mistake is seeing the rich as people.
