The Vice President of the United States cannot use Signal "disappearing messages" to correspond with anyone for any purpose.

Ah. Those rules.

What you say is true. But if a technique makes it so that 1) they don't preserve a record for the future, and 2) they do leak (or risk leaking) information that can kill service people, I personally care more about #2.

(Ironic that, in trying to not leak to future investigators/prosecutors, they increased the risk of leaking to foreign adversaries. Shows which threat they're focused on.)
