      At first, I thought you meant so many black boxes on a page, that there was little information. Each entire page is a black box. There’s no information at all. It’s like they’re mocking Congress and daring them to do something.

      That is fucking ridiculous. This is NOT national security shit it is a pedophile ring of rich people who used airplanes and islands to molest children without getting caught.

        It kind of is national security shit, if the people whose mentions were redacted have any bearing on national security. Keeping them redacted means they are vulnerable to extortion.

        This is NOT national security shit

        That definitely affects the security of the Republicans’ hold on power.

      The only thing to remember is that they only blacked out sections where trump’s name was mentioned. That’s pretty damning.

        Look, it’s pretty damning but let’s not just make stuff up. We don’t need to. We can’t know what was blacked out because… its blacked out. Surely Trump is in some of it, and notably isn’t in the rest. We don’t know who else is being protected though. I’m sure there are plenty of others.

      I asked ___ if she knew what being circumcised meant and she stated no. ____ then said that she thought Epstein was in steroids because he was a “really built guy and his wee wee was very tiny.” Gonzalez would explain that when she stated “wee wee” she meant penis.

      I shouldn’t laugh…the situation is terrible…but damn, that’s gold.

      Not from your doc. From volume 4, doc 7157, page 15.

      Edit to add: some of this is just straight up teasing. I just opened a few that were just scanned pictures of microcasette tapes. Wtf am I supposed to do with that? Can I print it out and play it on a fax machine?

      I wish so badly it was one of those times they just changed the font background color thinking that would do the trick and we could all really see what they were hiding

      Has anyone tried datamining around the black boxes? Because this DoJ is so unbelievably incompetent I wouldn’t be surprised if you could just delete a black layer to find the fun stuff underneath.

        They copied and pasted the same black box. Each page is literally the same nothing burger, you can open it in a text editor and see the repeating chunks. The interesting part is that page is identical across files. They didn’t even bother redacting individual parts, just replaced the whole thing.

        I think people took a look and just saw empty pages. Would not be surprised to find out something later though.

      They are bundling all of the trump documents into these single file pdfs and just completely blacking out the whole page. There’s just too much shit to figure out what’s incriminating and redact line by line.
