    I think it depends on how much the implicated billionaires and some of the smarter Republicans are involved in editing the files.

    If the Trump admin is doing it alone, I bet that this redaction will be completed so sloppily and incompetently, there will be enough crumbs and hints leftover that we’ll be able to paint a picture to see more on how Trump and Republicans are involved.

      With any luck, some ethical career agents have done their job sloppily with purpose.

        So like just turn the text background to black…it looks redacted.

        Some of it may just be due to circumstances too. They were working nights and weekends tracking in an excel spreadsheet that was accidentally available to other agents.

        So yeah like this wasn’t done slowly and methodically.

      I’m guessing the web of people involved is becoming difficult to manage. Like Bill Gates calls up and says hey don’t forget to remove my name. And then Bezos calls. And so on. If the billionaires start to become unhappy, I predict it won’t be another kid who couldn’t make the high school rifle club that takes the next shot. It won’t be maxipad on the ear week. But unless they redact like 99% of it, yeah it will be sloppy and fully of fuckups.
