Honestly wondering if this was done deliberately by DOJ tech folks who weren’t on board with the cover-up.
CosmicTurtle0 [he/him]Given the sheer ineptitude of this administration, this was likely stupidity.
When I worked for DOD, I worked on a FOIA request and was trained on using the declassification software. The software worked by highlighting the appropriate text and then “flattened” the highlight so you couldn’t do this.
The software was REQUIRED to be used because it would also perform the validation.
These people probably used regular Adobe acrobat. Because they are that dumb. And they don’t know about proper FOIA procedures.
Because they are stupid.
It might be likely that DOGE thought it was frivilous government spending the license for that software, because it’s the government and they’d use licensed software, so axed it out.
