Recipients on this medium are inferred from channel membership, not per-message addressing.

That's what I mean.

In context

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

    Yes, but I've had 3 FOIAs directly asking for this correspondence. There's one at the moment that will likely go tocourt. My University would also object to an FOIA on the grounds that the presumption is that this correspondence was meant to be confidential. Which of course it was. Plus the emails don't get into the fact that the intelligence services were informed throughout.

    I am in the same position. We have been asked for huge tranches of emails and we are refusing to say what exists even.

    I will check with our lawyer but it only requires one of us to say no.
  4. 2021-10-13 14:06 Edward C. Holmes open
    I have to say no

    That's what I mean.

    I don't know what happens if we get overruled - I guess we just have to redact them in the same way they are already redacted

    Ron's is the most interesting

    I also suspect a release would not help SAGO
  9. 2021-10-13 14:12 Kristian G. Andersen open
    I suggest you both just say "no" to Jeremy - or have the lawyers say "no". He/they will then have to figure out what todo next.
