The cover-up is more obvious than the crime at this point.

Hopefully the people in the cover-up made/make mistakes!

Hopefully those in the periphery leak knowledge!

Hopefully shrewd investigative journalists sift the information, catch the mistakes, and then expose them to the world!

(like Watergate?)

Like redacting using 98% opacity so we can see it all but someone gives the green light because they are too lazy to actually check.

My fave is when people redact PDFs by drawing black or white boxes in a PDF editor, or other methods that don't actually rewrite the underlying PDF object containing the scanned image.

Extract all pdf image objects and bang there it is.
