Interesting observation by Jason Chaffetz about how Trump's unprecedented transparency is blowing up the various democrat schemes to nail him:
In 2016, Americans voted for a disruptive, unconventional president who would do things differently than they had ever been done before. That's exactly what they got. And the left can't handle it.

He wasn't supposed to release the transcripts. Or the whistleblower report. He was expected to do what any president would have done – what President Obama always did. Hide the evidence.
As House Democrats rolled out their latest meticulously choreographed, perfectly timed, and broadly coordinated attack on President Trump, they weren't counting on the president's unprecedented transparency. Nobody releases a transcript of calls between heads of state.
But Donald Trump did. In the process, he screwed up the narrative. Again.
He's right and I'm surprised he did release this stuff without a fight. Yet by releasing the information he enabled all of us to make an INFORMED, ADULT decision as to whether or not he did what the democrats accuse him of doing.
Having been on the House Oversight Committee during the duration of the Obama presidency, I can attest that the administration fought every document request every time, releasing only the bare minimum. No excuse was too thin to withhold documents or testimony.
In contrast, President Trump did the unthinkable: he actually waived both executive privilege and attorney-client privilege for the Mueller investigation. What other president would allow his general counsel to be interviewed for more than 30 hours?
Donald Trump does. He should be winning awards for his openness and transparency. We've never seen anything like it before. And it's messing with the Democrats' narrative.
This is also spot on. Whether you love, hate or feel indifferent about Trump he is transparent. You know what he's thinking. I find that refreshing because again it allows me to make an informed decision as to his performance.
