practically speaking, this debate has been made moot by the recent rise of Signal.
But even before that reporters always knew that their work email accounts were highly vulnerable to subpoenas, so not sure this argument full holds.

Trump refusing to use the old system of vetting by DOJ of pardon requests means that the most deserving who used to make the cut out of 1000s - decades old smaller cases of people who turned their lives around - get ignored. Now the pardons go to rich connected Republican felons.

The International Criminal Court is ditching Microsoft Office, saying it’s too dependent on US tech, in favor of Open Desk, a German open source alternative.
The move comes after Microsoft revoked ICC head Karim Khan’s email access when he was sanctioned by the US for the warrant against Netanyahu.

Whenever Ken Starr returns to the news, it's fun to remember that one deputy investigating Bill Clinton (and Vice Foster) was ... Brett Kavanaugh!
Extra fun to remember that GWBush FL Recount team in 2000 included Brett K, J Roberts, AC Barrett.
Plus help from FL gov Jeb Bush. Good times!

Instead, on day one, they should turn it into a secure facility containing:
