3) This Order shall expire on Apr 10, 2025, in the event that Defendants' measures are satisfactory to the Court.

@Nonilex "All?" That's a wide net and based on news that Signal's been promoted by the WH for principals, going to be interesting to see if anything else surfaces.
I know it is a specific case, related to a specific event, but I do think such a limited retention timeframe order seems ill-advised, short-sighted and unwise.
Oh, and that it’s only a temporary order.
@Nonilex
Shittttt.....they already deleted them
I get the feeling that Boasberg is going to be in no mood for the regime to pull any of the bullshit they've been pulling in prior cases and if they do there will be costly civil contempt orders followed by criminal contempt if the bullshit doesn't end in short order.
