On the topic of on-point emails, this reply from Jezza is pretty darn spot on too - everything he says, well, all playing out. [shared file(s): Screen Shot 2021-08-16 at 5.07.59 PM.png]

In context

A single line often inverts meaning once you see what it answers, so neighbouring messages are always shown.

    On the topic of emails. My institution (via our outside council) will produce a written response to the two congressmen that requested to see BossMan. I have attached the draft letter - please keep confidential. One question pertains to emails we would like to include (confidentially) - specifically "Ron's" notes and also Andrew's emails (see attached). These are confidential, but with the likes of Jordan, nothing is every fully certain -so with that in mind, any concerns about us including this email chain? Of course, it's available already, but(unhelpfully) heavily redacted. I'm sure litigation is ongoing though, so the whole thing will probably be public atsome point. Please let me know if you have any concerns about any of this. [shared file(s): Email 2.pdf, Scripps Research Submission to RMs Comer and Jordan 8 16 21 CLEAN.DOCX]

    I don't think we should release ANY emails unless we absolutely have to. The problem is that if an email is releasedto one organisation then that acts as a precedent for others to ask. So, I'm strongly against.

    This is what my lawyers told me.

    I have no individual problem with my email going in there - it is exactly what I still believe. But I agree with Eddie. However - one request/suggestion. If you do send emails it is better not to have them as a nested thread so you can see who responded to who. Just have them as individual emails with their own headers. Also remove my signaturefrom the bottom.
