The only type of discourse I can think of that would not follow
the Cooperative Principle to any appreciable extent would be
schizophrenic discourse -- but I don't know if you'd consider
that a 'genre' or 'text type'.

If you think trials or political interviews do not follow Grice,
I suggest you give him another read.
