In short, they don’t want the people to know that the happy talk while killing grandma approach is not working.
My feeling is that there is enough time left until the election that the attempts at cover up are likely to fail. It is only a question of how many people they manage to kill in the attempt? How much anger will they generate before the election?
When all else fails, integrity succeeds. Enough catastrophes lead to insistence upon unusual (for the time) expressions of openness. Donald Trump has long been one of those "ask me no questions, and I will tell you no lies" types; maybe it is good for getting someone to buy a clunker used car or rent a slum apartment if one is unwilling to pay top-market prices...
I thought Trump just lies out of habit. Even if no one asks questions, he lies anyway.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
