4. NOT a Department, name notwithstanding.

I have been calling them an advisory group as that seems to be the only thing that fits. It had not occurred to me that there would be various transparency laws that would apply to them. They have to fit within some official framework, or they should have only the access to federal offices and agencies that any US citizens would have, which is relatively limited.

Or they could claim to be consultants the President has hired to conduct an efficiency review of the Executive branch, but that likely has regulatory and legal implications as well.

I hope the case goes before a reasonable judge.
