Particularly ironic given that DOGE is reported to be using Signal as its comms platform. [1]
The FBI investigation https://www.fbi.gov/news/press-releases/statement-by-fbi-dir... is at odds with your description. It appears nothing was as anywhere as severe as the recent intelligence breach of when DOGE posted NOFORN material publicly (https://abcnews.go.com/US/agency-data-shared-doge-online-spa...)

Sometimes, the simplest explanation is the right one: they're fascists and the rules are not applicable to them.
which is pretty absurd and you would need to have a really corrupt court IMHO for this to hold up
I don't think it's actually hopeless - they have constrained him at times. But I would also avoid getting my hopes up.
During Trump 1 there was quite a habit of ripping up papers by the president. So there were some dudes hired to go take the ripped up papers and tape them back together. Really looking forwards to seeing some of those next year! https://www.politico.com/story/2018/06/10/trump-papers-filin...
I suspect that what's happening is flagrantly incredibly evil & immoral, is a heinous crime against democracy. The people need to be ae to see what governments do and are, need to have some chance to learn and see what their governments really do. My dear is that the Presidential Records Act is being thrown out the window by these folks, that we will have nearly no record of so much of what this administration & it's "advisors" (Musk) do.
Trump seems to have it out for NARA since they originally reported the missing classified documents that Trump refused to return. I would not expect records to be kept in the manner they have been in previous administrations.
