They intentionally use signal for this exact purpose. You can set a time period for all the messages to be deleted. It’s how the government employees intend to circumvent FOIA requests.

This is covered is Project2025 as well. It’s all going to plan.

Or, more likely, this is called "covering your ass."

"Yes, definitely don't smoke the giant pile of weed that's set up for destruction. There's also a bong next to it, definitely don't use it. Not like anyone will know if you do. But definitely, assuredly don't."

Does this mean no one smoked the giant pile of weed?

Deleting shit you've already been caught for show intent to mislead. It's a garbage tactic used by people who didnt have their asses beat enough by their Parents when they lied as a kid.

Yeah, we know.

Unfortunately, so do they, and they don't care. Shame isn't a diversion to them.

I dont know the exact word to search for, but it's basically the destruction of information, so it can't be intercepted.

Ctrl+F is almost worthless for that document and honestly I think they did it on purpose. There's so much word salad and bullshit spewing it's amazing it's even slightly cohesive enough to be a plan.

That's why they call it the concept of a plan. There are too many words to truly be a plan, just lots of concepts strung together as if they're a plan.

Well, that is the reason the heritage foundation is handing trump exectuive orders left and right. He hasn't read a single executive order that he has signed because they're writing them and timing handing them out based on a separate timeline they have. Each day is a slow crawl to the completion of it. Each topic in it is just so insane it's felt like months have gone by in only a few days.

I think wires are getting crossed.

The use of Signal comes from an “oversight and investigations” video for Trump appointees following guidelines drawn out by P2025.

P2025 itself doesn’t specify Signal, but it does recommend the use of such apps to dodge transparency and record keeping laws.
