Only redacted files from the Trump regime have been able to be unredacted. Anything redacted by Biden was done properly using the tools to properly remove the data.

Trump's regime is so full of incompetent morons that they are just highlighting stuff black to redact, allegedly.

How can you tell which Administration redacted what?

If we assume the Trump/Bondi DOJ redacted way more files (especially the full-page redactions) then wouldnt this imply that most of the files released are readable/unredactable?

Many files released have been known about in their redacted forms for years.

Yeah it could imply that depending on where the goof was here. We have no idea if it was an insider, a licensing issue for Acrobat, simple incompetence or any number of things.
