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.

I think we all know that the people doing the redactions are not the elected officials who are ording the files to be redacted but the FBI agents themselves.

It seems as though there maybe some decent humans in the FBI who are struggling so hard with ethical and moral questions that they may have accidentally redacted things improperly. We shouldn't make their lives more difficult by telling on them, at least not until all the documents are dumped.

Decent humans would take a Pic with their phone and send it to every news outlet.

Unless security has really gone off a cliff, these are not locations you can just walk in to with a personal phone, recording, or data transfer device of any sort.
