My main takeaway from the Jack Smith testimony: we should push our presidential candidate to make him Attorney General in 2029.

Oh the absolute irony of the failed redactions are partly due to DOGE
Heard tell Eloon's DOGE cut the Adobe licenses.

This guy is right. We’re nearing a point where declaring the executive branch as having been unoccupied, along with several Supreme Court seats, for a period of time, is the more constitutionally valid position than treating their acts as legitimate.
“Sorry there was no president from 2025-2029, as the office was legally vacant your pardon wasn’t signed by POTUS but just some guy, as such it is invalid. Get in the fucking cell.”

So, regarding redactions:

It used to be a very common thing that lawyers (or others) would badly redact text, in ways that the text was trivialy recoverable.

That still happens, but it's nowhere near as common.

That said, it absolutely will not surprise me if Bondi's team screws this up.

So apparently there are many Epstein files on the DOJ website where you can highlight the redacted text, copy it, and paste it onto another document to read the redactions

It’s finally starting to feel
Like Christmas
Ok. Now had a chance to check and, well, at least some docs do appear to be straight up classic redaction fail. And there are some *interesting* bits here.

I'm going to say it again b/c some folks on here seem confused...

if you were eligible to vote in the US in 2024 and you didn't vote for Harris/Walz...you are to blame for all of the horrors happening.
