I’d go farther than this. The actions of so-called “public servants” (who have much stronger privacy protections than “public” citizens have when acting in official capacity) properly belong to the public, and should be available for public review. “The just powers of a representative government derive from the informed consent of the governed.” So those actions which were taken on the public’s behalf where the tapes can not be found, or where the emails can’t be located, should be presumed nefarious, and those responsible for the acts or for the destruction or loss of tapes or emails should face criminal penalties in the event of wrongdoing, without the benefit of the doubt - a benefit that could have been established by the tapes or emails.
