some epstein files can be unredacted...The Trump administration is so bloody stupid they just highlighted the text in black in the pdfs, leaving all the text available underneath.

Possibly some people at the DOJ did it on purpose to leak the documents out.

I'm not going to hold my breath until something substantial comes from this. The vast majority of the files are boring. It's not like there are 300,000 documents that all say "This list of people were fucking children:". It's flight logs and emails and receipts and photos of the most boring shit imaginable. Only a small percentage of the overall files contain anything of substance to people on the outside looking in.

The fact that this knowledge of ineffective censorship didn't come right on the heels of some big, juicy, reveal tells me that the documents censored in that way all fall into the "boring" category.

Welcome to the real world of data analysis. It's almost all boring, and it's not even the needle in the haystack you are actually looking for.

It's how the haystacks connect and fit together that forms an easy to digest narrative. Takes time.

Fairly certain that's what's happening.

I was certainly expecting malicious compliance.

I had my fingers crossed for this as soon as I heard that the FBI was spending millions one million in overtime to redact them all in a mad rush.

I didn’t want to say it out loud lest I jinx it.

It's a good thing we don't get all the government we pay for.

The same Will Rogers that had a piece in the New York Times where he mocked Smedley Butler and volunteered to lead the fascist revolt (business plot) himself?

Brings that quote into a different light a bit.

…if Smedley Butler don't take that job of marching down Pennsylvania at the head of wall Street's fighting Brigade I would like to get my application in.

I don't see how the truth can suddenly become not-the -truth just because someone you don't like said it.

We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.
