Un-redacted text from released documents began circulating on social media on Monday evening

People examining documents released by the Department of Justice in the Jeffrey Epstein case discovered that some of the file redaction can be undone with Photoshop techniques, or by simply highlighting text to paste into a word processing file.

Un-redacted text from these documents began circulating through social media on Monday evening. An exhibit in a civil case in the Virgin Islands against Darren K Indyke and Richard D Kahn, two executors of Epstein’s estate, contains redacted allegations explaining how Epstein and his associates had facilitated the sexual abuse of children. The exhibit was part of the second amended complaint in the state case against Indyke and Kahn.

    It makes sense. They didn’t flush the entirety of the FBI and we know Patel isn’t doing all this himself, so I too believe that there are people just doing some good ol’ malicious compliance. Apparently documents from previous administrations didn’t have this issue so they could do it correctly, they just aren’t.
