The author(s) and supervisors on this memo/survey have sovereign immunity, IMHO.
They are salting the mine, so the government lawyers will be engaged to defend the government against an obvious violation of employment law.
Money will hemorrhage out the door at the EPA keeping lawyers funded and probably paying a bunch of soon-to-be-unemployed agency staffers a settlement.
The emails and legal opinions will be hidden because of "pending" litigation.
