IIRC, some folks in "Intelligence" got fired shortly after this admin took
over because they had been using a "third party" communication avenue
(maybe Signal or another) to discuss government business -- and other
things.

Very ironic.

I also wonder all of this.  What have they been using it for, and who was
in the "large group"?

I have heard this but not bothered to verify myself.  While that could be
proof that they are following the project, it could also be that they've
picked out some ideas from it.  Either way, it is not a good thing.
