Even in private businesses it's always these guys who are above the law / exceptions and too stupid to know otherwise that are the biggest risk...
This should be a job disqualifying act.

Currently dealing with this at work myself. Boss has the attitude of "I have the right to run MY company however the hell I want, the Bible says so". Job searching sucks.

Wilhoit's Law applies.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”
I had heard this before but didn't know it by name. According to Slate (https://slate.com/business/2022/06/wilhoits-law-conservative...) Frank Wilhoit is an Ohioan classical-music composer and first expressed the statement in a 2018 blog comment.

Wilhoit is essentially claiming conservatives are all narcissist, which I don’t think is the case. “Rules for thee, but not for me.” People with NPD have a sense of entitlement, which is a result of the in-group/out-group framework of themselves and others that their minds create to hide their damaged sense of self worth.
Wilhoit is kind of participating in the same in-group/out-group behavior, intellectually, by dismissing conservatism as just a bunch of narcissists, which itself is a very narcissistic thing to do.

I agree, but in modern USA, unthinking loyalty is valued far ahead of basic competence

It's worse. They are using off-the-books communications to skirt the Presidential Records act, so they can delete their communications. They don't want incriminating evidence.

In a country that respected the rule of law, evidence of destroying evidence would be punished. However, it seems that the laws only apply to certain people.

Lock her up? This would be a firable offense even at some private copmanies. The level of employee performance here is just unacceptablly poor.
