Their criminal obstruction is matched only by their incompetence.
@georgetakei
Those who fail to learn from history something something.
@georgetakei there's some damning stuff in there as well, not only is most of the redacted stuff protecting co-conspirators and the like, which is explicitly illegal and shows clear perjury from patel, but there's stuff in there which is on the level of most of the people in power should be getting some new striped pajamas for christmas, to wear permanently.

@georgetakei
Maybe some people in administration do their work according to the »CIA Simple Sabotage Field Manual« and actively make fools of themselves by blacking out important information.

@georgetakei

😬 Long live the complexity of modern text processing!

@georgetakei In an optimistic take, perhaps there are persons left in the apparatus who did this on purpose?
@frank @georgetakei nah, people from inside would have leaked everything in a pirate website in the deep web

@epistomai @frank @georgetakei

Leaking the material is riskier for the whistleblower, it also risks rumors about it being fake, a "hoax", chinese hackers or whatever diversion they could come up with.

When it's published and announced officially and it later turns out the anonymization was just shoddy, there is not much they can do to spin it.

DOGE to DOJ, probably
@georgetakei
Has anyone unredacted the 100+ page grand jury testimony yet?
@georgetakei
I wish people didn't point that out.
I suspect the workers of doing exactly what they were told to.
@georgetakei the real question is why was this redacted in the first place.

@georgetakei

oh, but now Bondi has been told to open up a NEW investigation into the Epstein files. They think that will be the authority to stop the further release of the files. They have no Bottom.

@georgetakei just wait, they'll be calling this "a sophisticated hacking procedure" soon.
