(2) Any communication related to the report, including electronic mails or telephone logs.
(B) A self-assessment report, any portion or contents of the report, and any documents, data, compilations, analyses, or other information and material generated, created, produced, developed, or prepared as part of the self-assessment process, are privileged and not admissible or subject to discovery in any civil or administrative litigation, action, proceeding, or investigation.
(C) The self-assessment privilege granted by this section to a bank and its affiliates applies regardless of whether a bank regulator or any other governmental authority in possession of a self-assessment report or any portion or contents of it subsequently discloses it or any portion or contents of it to a third party as required or permitted by any state or federal law.
