Hello Christopher,
If your real question is " asking what sort of pro-active steps you'd take
to hold to policy and professional
standards if you were asked to bend or break rules (either out of intent,
​
ignorance, or even as part of formal changes to policy). How would you
​
document your position?
​" has nothing to do with the change of our government administration.
However, I hope it is not ​"
business-as-usual
​" and that there will improvements in following the "rule of law".

So the answer to your question has noting to do with government, but rather
how a Records and Information Manager should act if they believe the law is
being broken/bent.  I would document my concerns in writing and forward to
the appropriate official.  If you believe that the organization continues
to operate in an illegal manner then I believe you have to make decision -
do you continue to work with an organization that behaves outside the known
law or do you resign and find a more responsible employer?

​That should not be a difficult decision.
Sincerely,
Mary​
