    An actual honest to God mistake. I’m surprised.
    I was fully expecting this to be malicious on the part of the current administration.

    Tldr: She requested her records a few years ago, and those were the same files released recently by mistake. Clerk messed up, thats all.

          what exactly in the article do you think proves it was an honest mistake and not a deliberate act?

          Yeah, it helps understand how it happened. They submitted the request and there was a typo, then they called

          And I’m sure the call started with an introduction that tipped off the fact that he was helping with a Republican political campaign, and the “very helpful” clerk gave out privileged information gleefully.

          This is the environment created by Trump and doge. This is why they do the loyalty tests and fire people illegally through emails.

          This is what it looks like when you politically weaponise the state

          Bullshit it was an accident - it was one person breaking procedure after months of the president calling for exactly this

      People in those departments deal with classified info where they can’t make those types of ‘mistakes’.
