OTD 50 years ago, during a meeting with Turkey’s Foreign Minister Melih Esenbel in his office in Ankara, Secretary of State Henry Kissinger said candidly, “Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings, ‘The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.’”
![An excerpt from the official minutes of a meeting at the Turkish foreign minister's office in Ankara, Turkey, on Monday March 10, 1975, from 5:20-6:30 p.m. The subjects were "aid cut-off" and "Cyprus."
Esenbel: "The Europeans should find ways to meet quick needs: for example, the Air Force needs spare parts. For other items that they can't find in the stocks, maybe you could make a deal with the Dutch or others to send it here.
[US Ambassador William B.] Macomber: "That is illegal."
Kissinger: “Before the Freedom of Information Act, I used to say at meetings, ‘The illegal we do immediately; the unconstitutional takes a little longer.' [laughter] But since the Freedom of Information Act, I'm afraid to say things like that. We'll make a major effort.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:iwbebt5r65c67xl5vy5iviwj/bafkreidtjsquwbp4bd6qrqt56fvfg65pxhojzwcoxubgoxbmhsogxdevfu@jpeg)

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media
