Jason Leopold#FOIA SCOOP: US Fish & Wildlife Service turned over more than 1K pages of emails, pics & other docs abt the aftermath of the SpaceX rocket that exploded shortly after takeoff in April. Incredible look behind the scenes
Separately, this is how SpaceX, a private company, marks their emails in an attempt to have their communications exempt from the FOIA when they exchange emails with a govt agency. It doesn't work that way. And It's clear Fish and Wildlife Service, agrees.
Dave Spector@JasonLeopold whomever told them to do that gave them spectacularly bad advise. If you misuse markings like that — just like trying to mark all your communications “privileged and confidential” as though you are communicating with legal counsel — risks having ALL protections stripped away during any discovery.
The courts and judges aren’t stupid.
Isho'ye
R@JasonLeopold This is fucking hilarious.
justin ferguson@JasonLeopold I can hardly wait for SpaceX to sue the US government for violating their ... .signature?
