According to prosecutors, Morens, a former senior adviser at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, used personal email accounts to dodge FOIA, deleted records, and sought to circumvent federal records requirements. In one message about communications about Covid research, he allegedly wrote: “I learned from our FOIA lady here how to make emails disappear after I’m FOIA’d but before the search starts. … Plus I deleted most of those earlier emails after sending them to my Gmail.”
If true, his actions were egregious and wrong, and accountability should be both proportional and consistent with previous cases of records destruction and FOIA evasion.
But the Justice Department has, for decades, largely taken a hands-off approach to enforcing FOIA. When it has enforced the law, it’s usually landed in civil rather than criminal court. The DOJ has almost never treated FOIA evasion behavior as a crime — at least until now.
That’s the real danger: making it so FOIA evasion is only a crime if the administration has a score to settle.

Rush Limbaugh was correct. With the SWAMP (leftist in general) it is always: How can we fool’em today?
In their view, the general public has to be fooled because they are stupid and cannot be trusted to do the right thing.
It is thinking straight out of an absolute monarchy. Sort of Egyptian Pharoh thinking...
I miss Rush. I am certainly not the only one. Sadly, there will never be another like him.
This is done heavily in Washington. Both sides use outside email to avoid accountability.

Email is forever, if the NSA or FBI is intent on finding it.
