    It feels like they’re selecting names and hiding others. If they are just going to say the names why redact them for the public in the files?

      If you listen to what he says, the FBI redacted all the files before passing them to the DOJ. The DOJ was only able to release the versions of what they actually had.

      Ro went to the FBI to see the originals, but it’s not like he could comprehensively hunt through the 3 million files. It sounds like he just pulled out names of people that he found that were mentioned in particularly damaging documents that were redacted only to keep their own names clean.

      It’ll take a much larger effort to comprehensively go through with proper redactions of victim info, without hiding perps.

        Thanks for the common sense perspective. I didn’t see it. I hope we get more and more until everything crumbles.

        He also said in an earlier video that the files were setup like a SCIF which means no writing things down to remember them later. At some point I would start forgetting names as I found new ones.

        Oh hey now don’t go being reasonable. Didn’t you get the memo? We’re all just supposed to throw up our hands and say nothing is going to happen and then just sit here being angry but not active. /s
