    "No, Project 2025 doesn't advise government officials to use Signal to avoid recordkeeping laws

    "Project 2025 does not recommend government officials use Signal or other chat applications. In fact, the 'Project 2025 training videos' referenced by some social media users actually show a Project 2025 contributor, who spoke in the footage, explicitly warning future political appointees to be careful *not* to violate recordkeeping laws if they use encrypted chat platforms with auto-delete functions like Signal. Therefore, we have rated this claim as *false*.

    "However, these videos do offer strategies for avoiding public-record request disclosures, including by having conversations in person rather than through a texting chain. The Heritage Foundation, the group behind Project 2025, did not immediately respond to a request for comment."

    I downloaded the Project 2025 manifesto and couldn't find any specific reference to Signal. The disingenuousness of republicans complaining so
    much about Hillary's email server but not making a peep out of this leak
    is telling. It wasn't about the email.

    I am one who still believes she should have been in a lot of trouble... I worked in government and that would have got me fired and possibly
    prosecuted. I also believe that this group should be in similar trouble,
    and believe that both Trump and Biden should have been in serious trouble
    for mishandling documents (something else that would have got me fired and likely prosecuted).

    As is, I look at it all and understand that, like celebrities, politicians
    are held to a different level of accountability than the rest of us.
