Possibly some people at the DOJ did it on purpose to leak the documents out.
Malicious compliance, almost certainly. You can do a whole lot of sabotage by just being bad at your job.
I’m not going to hold my breath until something substantial comes from this. The vast majority of the files are boring. It’s not like there are 300,000 documents that all say “This list of people were fucking children:”. It’s flight logs and emails and receipts and photos of the most boring shit imaginable. Only a small percentage of the overall files contain anything of substance to people on the outside looking in.
The fact that this knowledge of ineffective censorship didn’t come right on the heels of some big, juicy, reveal tells me that the documents censored in that way all fall into the “boring” category.
Welcome to the real world of data analysis. It’s almost all boring, and it’s not even the needle in the haystack you are actually looking for.
It’s how the haystacks connect and fit together that forms an easy to digest narrative. Takes time.
I was certainly expecting malicious compliance.
Fairly certain that’s what’s happening.
I had my fingers crossed for this as soon as I heard that the FBI was spending
millionsone million in overtime to redact them all in a mad rush.I didn’t want to say it out loud lest I jinx it.
If you happen to be looking for bad redactions in a large set of data files today for some reason, there’s an open source tool for that.
At least one person at the doj is actually not a traitor
It’s a good thing we don’t get all the government we pay for.
Will Rogers 1879 - 1935
That’s been going on a looooong time.
The same Will Rogers that had a piece in the New York Times where he mocked Smedley Butler and volunteered to lead the fascist revolt (business plot) himself?
Brings that quote into a different light a bit.
…if Smedley Butler don’t take that job of marching down Pennsylvania at the head of wall Street’s fighting Brigade I would like to get my application in.
“When you hear the truth does the source truly matter”
SeeMarkFly 2025
Actually yeah, it does.
I don’t see how the truth can suddenly become not-the -truth just because someone you don’t like said it.
Kind of. The source may influence if you recognize it as the truth or trust that it is the truth, or how close to the whole truth it is.
Also, the source is affecting their reputation (in some way) by providing the truth. So it matters to the source that they are the source.
So…2+2=4 is true when Albert Einstein says it but false when Adolf Hitler says it?
I’m not buying that.
Then you didn’t hear the truth.
Because it isn’t really the truth it’s just a quip
Way to move the goalpost.
I never agreed it was the truth I’m someone else
Well, don’t say it out loud!!!
