There is zero reason for them not to just blatantly avoid keeping legally-required records. They illegally fired the watchdogs put in place after Nixon (practically the only fucking useful thing we did about that—the laughably weak handling of the Watergate affair, and, shortly after, Iran-Contra, sent us well down the path we're possibly seeing the end of now) as one of their first acts, and nothing bad happened. Nothing they've done to evade legally-required scrutiny and oversight has brought them any trouble at all so far. Why would they stop?
