Their criminal obstruction is matched only by their incompetence.
@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.
