The federal government has some pretty extensive requirements for keeping records of all of its activities. In the past, they simply didn't allow the public to see those records, but in 2007 and 2016 significant changes were made to the Freedom of Information Act which required disclosure of virtually all unclassified documents and records upon request. The government and the "Deep State," not wishing to let the public know what they were doing, then started the practice of sloppy record keeping... or simply not keeping required records at all.
And we're letting them get away with it.
