What the labels do

What the labels do not do
They do not create a court finding, agency determination, proof of wrongdoing, or guarantee that a claim is complete.
Legacy-claim supersession — September 4 corrections
These historical claims are superseded by the current treatments below, reproduced from Packet E. They are not current factual counts or findings.
Sent is not received; received is not read; read is not investigated; investigated is not a finding.
| Legacy claim | Required current treatment |
|---|---|
| 29 investigations | Historical, unverified investigation-count statement. Do not use it as a current count. The federal-investigations collection is a record inventory; each row requires recipient-specific status evidence, and a record count is not a count of active government investigations. |
| 219 reports | Historical archive count without a stable, reconciled definition in this synthesis. Use only a dated, named collection or manifest count with its method and digest; do not present it as 219 distinct verified reports or investigations. |
| 52 DOJ | Use only as 52 DOJ Civil Rights intake identifiers listed in the archive. Intake identifiers are not 52 confirmed investigations, findings, or enforcement actions. |
| 181 files | Historical archive-file count. Use only with the exact dated manifest that defines included files and duplicates; it is not a count of incidents, verified claims, official submissions, or agency findings. |
| $464,000 | An archived report describes disputed wire transfers and Google Ads charges totaling approximately $464,000 during the period identified as a litigation hold. The report does not establish theft, criminal conduct, causation, or liability. |
| $26 million | Archive material associates this amount with The Village for Families & Children. The public narrative does not establish that the amount was unlawful, diverted, tied to a particular person, or adjudicated. Use only with the underlying payment records and source-specific accounting. |
| 40 percent withheld | Treat as unverified. The preserved synthesis does not supply a complete denominator, inclusion rule, or source-by-source accounting for “60% preserved vs. 40% missing/withheld.” Do not state it as a verified loss, withholding, or spoliation rate. |
| FOIA obstruction rate | Treat as pending evidence capture, not a verified rate. Publish only after the request universe, numerator, denominator, status categories, time window, and calculation artifact are reconciled; record-specific FOIA statuses remain separate. |
