    I expected incompetence would end up releasing some of what wasn’t intended to be released. Now we have this, and the poorly “redacted” PDF files.

    I wonder how much more will come from this.

    I also wonder if it was a mistake at all.

      Trump isn’t referenced by name. The AI scanner probably missed it. This letter almost appears as if it was expressly written to implicate Trump.

        The AI scanner

        Oh boy. Does this mean that one or more of our favorite tech sociopaths might have full unredacted versions of the kompromat that they totally promised the AI system would not save?

        So it was a plant by Biden to both implicate trump AND cover up the murder of friend of the president Jeffrey Epstein. How diabolical!

      It is written in cursive. Their automated system probably couldn’t read it

      I’ve been somewhat avoiding the news (for my sanity), but I have heard that some of the PDFs turned out to be badly redacted and the original text is accessible programmatically. Do you happen to have a link to one? I’m a developer and have worked with PDFs extensively in the past. I’d love to delve into one and un-redacted it.

        Example I found on Reddit: https://www.justice.gov/multimedia/Court Records/Matter of the Estate of Jeffrey E. Epstein, Deceased, No. ST-21-RV-00005 (V.I. Super. Ct. 2021)/2022.03.17-1 Exhibit 1.pdf

        Just a black highlighter.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
