According to a new lawsuit from two watchdogs, that internal guidance directly contradicts federal law. They say officials were allowed to wipe out messages that should’ve been preserved.
And it gets murkier: if a text was *also* discussed in a meeting or email, it was apparently fair game for deletion.
But here’s the thing—who’s actually keeping track of what qualifies as “official decision-making”?
Does that loophole feel intentional to you?
