For this specific chat, what law were they breaking?
(I'm not defending the Trump administration's law-keeping in general. I'm asking about this specific set of communications.)
- ckemere 2y agoRecord keeping rules.
- jeffbee 2y agohttps://www.archives.gov/about/laws/presidential-records.html https://www.archives.gov/about/laws/presidential-records.htm... The Vice President of the United States cannot use Signal "disappearing messages" to correspond with anyone for any purpose.
- AnimalMuppet 2y agoAh. Those rules. What you say is true. But if a technique makes it so that 1) they don't preserve a record for the future, and 2) they do leak (or risk leaking) information that can kill service people, I personally care more about #2. (Ironic that, in trying to not leak to future investigators/prosecutors, they increased the risk of leaking to foreign adversaries. Shows which threat they're focused on.)
