If agencies can opt out... is the message really clear? Why can agencies opt out?

As long as it also comes with clear compliance and whistleblower avenues I don’t have a problem with this. Every company has NDAs for proprietary information.

If they are leaking classified information then they are already breaking the law. What is an NDA going to do for this, that current laws already don't?

So signing a piece of paper is the solution ?

How did that work out with that porn star?

Easier path to purse them civilly, I guess is the main reason. Much easier to prove that I violated a NDA than I literally broke a law. Fewer due process rights as well.

That’s probably not gonna help when they’re all subject to public records requests.

I would imagine if an agency opts out, it would then not be privy to certain information

People leak in situations where it is already clearly illegal. Not sure how some civil penalty would change things.

Yep. I retired two years ago and still have NDAs that I signed that are still in-effect. Most were in relation to development projects for defense contractors and involve the national laboratories. So, if I have to honor the discreetness of this data, so too should government employees.

I'm a tad confused. If leaking classified information... hell... any personally identifying information of any kind.... is already a violation of federal statute.... what good is an NDA going to do?

Federal Government is a disaster. Only way to fix it is burn it all down to the foundation flush out the rats and termites then rebuild it.

It's hard work but we have the instructions for how to do it.

The billionaires are the deep state. That’s precisely what trump & co are.

It’s trump and the front row vip’s that were at his inauguration.

Think a lot of Federal employees were just removed from categories that put them under union representation.

I may be overthinking this, but could the ultimate goal be to use the refusal to sign NDAs as the next step to purge a significant number of federal employees?

It depends on how it's written. The NDA may have serious consequences if it's violated.

THIS. You can't use a NDA to curtail reporting fraud or other misconduct.

Probably so, just like you can get off on criminal charges for shooting someone in self defense, but can still end up being civilly liable to their estate.
