I see what your saying, but the president is held to another standard, eg norms of tax releases. If this were a private citizen, yea, we as a country have agreed that “you shouldn’t be worried if you have nothing to hide” is not a valid argument for government intrusion of privacy. But the NYTimes is right here. Trump should not be afraid of egregious privacy invasion if he isn’t breaking countless laws and yet hampering every effort to investigate the matter.
