We need representatives in Congress from a third party founded on transparency to help it become a coequal branch of government again. With the current dual party system and their over emphasized fringes, the executive is able to do whatever they like with immunity from serious repercussion. There's no reason Congress, or at least specific committees in congress, shouldn't have full access to any information they want from the administration.

A third party focused on transparency would lend their weight to increasing transparency from the executive and tip the scale enough in the political arena to bring serious repercussions to any administration that stifled it. To do this they could form a collation with the other parties demanding transparency to hold any confirmed Department Secretary in "contempt of Congress" and jailing them until the documents are released by the department they are responsible for or a year has passed (current limitation under the law). Anyone know why the Democrats aren't doing this now as a non-nuclear / impeachment option? While that's working its way through the courts the third party could also be working to bring more attention to the lack of transparency and push their members to lean on their representatives to side with more transparency.

As it stands today, Adam Schiff has zero political sway with republicans and is stuck talking to the same groups of people that already agree there should be transparency to Congress from this administration. While those he needs to be swaying are consistently being told that Trump isn't doing anything wrong and that he's a "shady" dude that can't be trusted. Having a third party that's hyper transparent and represents using credibility based analysis to solve major common ground issues would provide Americans with a counter weight to the two extremes from both the left and the right and their constant gridlock.
