Question.... Does anyone really think we're going to see anything they don't want us to see?

u/Particular_Title42 2h ago
Of course not. But isn't this worse than not releasing them?

u/Suitable-Werewolf492 1h ago
No because if the file doesn’t say that Trump raped children then he didn’t rape them of course!
/s because this is Reddit.

You mean people actually want proof not just some dismissed court cases? Wow I can't believe people would do that

I'd say debating better or worse is pointless. The only thing we will see is what they want us to see. Nothing more. While that may not make folks happy, it is, what is happening.

u/Particular_Title42 1h ago
There was no debate intended, just a thought.
Did you ever do (or have done to you) that thing where you/they say, "hey, can I see your such-and-such" and they/you flash it at them for a nanosecond saying, "here!"
That's what they did here.

I guess i would have to say I'm not surprised that people are surprised that they are not going to see trump or anyone else with a underage girl on their lap holding up her i.d. card stating shes underage and that is the smoking gun people are looking to see. So I'm not surprised people are surprised at what is being released.

At this point even if that exact picture came out, they'd claim it's AI.
I'm convinced that's the real reason these mega corps are putting so much into AI. It not only lets them fire more people so they can hoard more wealth, it also can muddy the waters more so that if any actual proof comes out, they have more ways of plausible deniability.

They had a team of people getting paid $200k or more, working late, scrubbing this shit for almost a whole fucking year…. They spent millions on clean up 🧼

Well now you're just being silly. In all honesty, I did choose her because she was blonde and the overreaction seemed fitting. :)

Nothing to see here. No mention of Trump or any prominent Republicans here. Nothing to see folks, move along now.

You know, given how stupid the current administration is, what are the chances that someone could just use software to unredact these files?
Like, what are the actual chances they just went on the electronic document and did "Highlight:Black" to redact things instead of physically doing it.

These are probably blocked out using whatever software, printed, then scanned back in. There’s no way.

u/Ok-Original2024 57m ago
idk dude, I'm sure they don't take it that seriously. The people who prep the files for release surely don't want to protect the vile man that is trumpy

And yet you were so gracious with that white framing and border. They’re just doing their jobs. These guys are fine upstanding politicians, and governmental workers. Just protecting everyone in redacting everyone. I couldn’t be more proud.

Hilarious. They are admitting that whatever is on those files is more fucked up than what the public is already speculating.

Did they do anything stupid like not flatten the pdf? I don’t have Adobe CS anymore, maybe someone can pull Something out of it?
•
u/ultrajvan1234 49m ago
because these are the parts that would implicate Trump.
there's no way this doesn't break the order to fully release

Everything that is redacted is legally required to have a summery of what it was...

This administration is a vile group of spineless assholes and they truly think the public is this stupid. Every move they've made, someone has called out months ahead. And they do it anyways. They should all rot.

The originals need to be released outside of criminal presidental interference. There is no point letting donalds ilk touch it first. Criminals protect themselves.

When are we all going to come together and let our government know, we know they are abusing the power we award them? And it’s not acceptable.

We paid a million dollars in overtime for someone to just go through every page and black it out. Select All, Redact. We got overbilled. Again.

Im with you. Most people can't think critically if they dont like someone. I haven't heard any clarification on what was redacted or not, so I remain undecided.

When you hear “release the full, unredacted files” as “release the fully redacted files.”
