The truth, hidden behind deceit and lies, is unrecognizable.

It is the truth that will set you free.

All Administrations tend to hide the truth, to some extent. Usually, it is to prevent embarrassment of some sort.

However, we are in a different time. The "truth" is something that we, the people, have no right to know.

Unfortunately, there are consequences from withholding the truth from the people. It breeds anger and distrust. To hide information from the people, that is needed to function as a good government, is reprehensible.

Also, it creates a paranoia that divides the country.

Why haven't the people gotten the information they need? Because it is hidden.

This resentment creates a division that must be repaired if we are to survive this crisis.

It is the Republican Party that has prevented the people from getting the information that we all need, including themselves. They have prevented testimony from witnesses in an impeachment trial. That alone is unforgivable.

They have also obstructed an official investigation, which they themselves created, in order to protect their president.

Primarily led by Mitch McConnell, they have deprived all of us of our right to freedom of information.

The truth will not be hidden forever. It will eventually come forth and there will be a price to pay for those that are criminal in their intent. I do believe that our freedoms are at stake.

We have to keep caring about the truth, which is hard when 45% deny its importance or reality.
