a proposed rule change that would allow the government to lie. flat out lie about public records it does not want to release. the idea has conservatives and liberal critics alike fuming. when he was candidate obama, now president promised the most transparent administration ever. remember this? part of what we need to do is rebuild trust in our government again. and that means being open and transparent and accountable to the american people. that has been a hallmark of my career. transparency and accountability, getting the american people involved, that s how we are going to bring about change. that s why i want to be president of the united states. to make sure that we create transparency in our government. megyn: jay is chief counsel for the american center for law and justice. let s start with the transparency thing. he wants the department of justice to be able to do what?
what this is dock is giving the department of justice a free pass to avoid litigation. megyn: there has been a ruling where the judge said the government cannot affirmatively mislead the court. but, jay, shannon breen came on and said the doj is pointing out it was allowed to do this anyway. all they are doing is to seek the legal blessing by change the official law. is that a much bigger deal or not? we have the department of justice changing a law passed by congress? why would the department of justice get to do this? the laugh is modified on a legal basis in the courtroom. that s number one. you read the quote from the judge saying you can t mislead us. this is the most intentional mislead saying a document doesn t exist when it does.
