There is no privacy when you go for POTUS.  When Trump decided to go for POTUS he should have expected to come clean on any and all dealings he has done his entire life.  Everything comes out and get exposed and it should be that way.  If you got something to hide then come clean with it before hand. 

Really ? You don't seriously expect me to buy your devil's advocate, do you know ? So your telling me he doesn't have the right to keep a tight lid on what he does in the bathroom, sex life, his beliefs or other very personal matters ?

No matter how you slice it, you are giving Trump a pass.  Everyone including his running mate is releasing their tax returns.  Basically you are telling Trump he does not need to be held to the same standards as everyone else who has run for POTUS.  This is very dangerous as it gives someone like Trump the feeling he can in his own words "shoot someone in times square and not lose a vote".  The reason I want Trump to release his tax returns is because he is making a big deal of it.  Since he can release the years that are not audited, it just shows that he has something to hide 

Cherry pick much with confirmation bias ? FWIW, I'm also interested in seeing Trump's tax returns but your making it out to be a bigger deal than it needs to be when it's not the end all or be all in terms of transparency ...

No whistleblower need to call out Trump when you can do any simple internet search and get a body of information on Trump.  Hell there is videos from the 80s about his business practices, shortchanging contractors, bankruptcy and ligations, you name it.  Just recently we find out he paid an official in Florida to make his Trump Institute lawsuit go away, including how he did the same thing in Texas.  We find out he charges 4 times the rent in his Building for his staff now that he is getting GOP money to pay the bills.  If those are just dismissible issues to you I guess you really do not care who Trump is as long as the illusion that  he will be better than his old self is there.

Again with the cherry pick's even though donations were in talks before she decided to axe the case ... 

How exactly is him price gouging the VERY property that he owns relevant to your argument ?

As to your question, not sure what you are looking for. What does keeping tabs on one person has anything to do with what the government is doing.  If that one citizen is someone who will blow up a school, compared to pay to play government deals then you choose.  Everything has a context so put your question in context so I know what you are looking for.

It looks like I failed to make myself clear but what I'm asking is do you SERIOUSLY believe that any random man's personal life secrets is more important to the public than the actions held by officials who make up the federal government ? 

I really do wonder which candidate you support if your truly independent when you don't dare give Clinton the same coverage as Trump when it comes to conspiracy theories ...
