Quick review from your resident layman village idiot who takes an interest in law and constitutional matters

Section 1 - seems legit, the facts are factual, fails to note that the transmissions/discussions to, from, with and/or funded by govt depts can be FOIA-ed, from the govt Dept. Worth noting at this point that the transition team seemed to be way behind schedule and missed key deadlines for handover, in some cases not introducing themselves to permanent staffers in depts long after they were expected to.

Section 2 - paragraph 3 fails to draw a distinction between FOIA and law enforcement requests, are they handled similarly? Must *all* requests go through TFA? Seems odd that those two vastly separate routes for accessing documents would both be handled the same way. P4, isn't it true of govt owned machines that requests from LEOs don't require subpoenas due to the nature of their disclaimers, which state that anything and everything can be turned over to law enforcement? P5 doesn't outline the nature of the privilege. It can't be executive privilege during the transition, attorney client adds up with what Jnr was saying but only for emails they sent to/from counsel and why the frick would they have reason to be worried about stuff they voluntarily wrote down? Who writes down stuff about crimes they committed? But again as I said, in P7, "susceptible to privilege claims" I.E. we haven't asserted privilege, but we might in future. P8 - note "unauthorized", not illegal, criminal, unlawful etc. Unauthorized means we didn't authorize it.

Section 3 - let's skip straight to part 2, here's the current Republican messaging. No one with any sort of bias can ever be trusted to do anything in government or justice especially involving the other political team. A couple of paragraphs of citations. This seems weak. It also seems like it's bulwark of a defense for Jared Kushner. Some of these points read like they couldn't think of anything else to say. "Some states don't like grand juries much".


Hmm. Not exactly blown away.
