A former senior DOJ official said that the email in question was "generated by a third-party vendor that utilizes keyword searches to produce news clippings for staff. It is not reviewed or approved by staff before it is transmitted."
That sounds like a complete waste of time and money, not to mention high risk for transmitting offensive material in a professional communication. I'm sure the judges can find their own relevant news content.
Thanks, it was a little perplexing that this would happen even in the Trump administration. It would still be interesting to hear what the keywords were that the vendor used and why those words were chosen.
I'd like to know what 3rd party they use to format it into a newsletter.
I work with several companies that use similar services, but they receive the clippings in a random lump. Every day or week, someone copies the content from an email message or website, selects which articles to include, and then plugs the selections into a template for an email blast. The boss always gives it a cursory review before the message goes out. In each case, there'd be humans in the mix to catch something like this.
