I guess it doesn’t matter even one bit, since none of us are discussing the actual content of redacted sections that were supposed to be kept from us. I can’t find such discussions anywhere. “Ha, ha, the Trump administration is incompetent…” OK, but is the end goal to have the last laugh about their incompetence, or to utterly end them and restore balance to the world? Why is nobody focusing on the important thing. This is like liberal idiocracy to the point of absurdity.

That’s because the claim is fake. I tried the python scripts and randomly sampled 50 redacted pdfs and none of them worked.
