It is the government, incompetence is the rule of law there.

The goal of the game is to spend as much money as possible as quickly as possible, while working hard to accomplish as little as possible as slowly as possible.

Thanks for tweet with source. Can confirm. Copy and paste reveals the whole text. lol

Now don't say we never get a win as far as leaks go. This is a win.

Edit: What a bunch of incompetent fucks, lol. I feel like this was accidental and some dumbass secretary who thinks changing font to Wingdings is good encryption.

I remember when the Obama birth certificate was posted on White House .gov. pdf that was supposed to be a scan, and they forgot (or didn't know they had to) to flatten the document before exporting. Left layers showing it as a fake.

That was intentional. They knew they'd get away with it, and they wanted to rub our faces in it. They wanted to get us to shriek "fake birth certificate!" so they could put it all over the news and call us idiots. If that weren't the case, they'd have pulled it and reuploaded it when they'd realized that happened.

Truth doesn't matter. Just optics.

I agree it was an intentional fuck you.

But they did replace the layered one pretty quickly.

It's because the most popular PDF software has a highlighter function where you can pick any color. A lot of clueless people use black highlighter because it visually resembles a redaction blackout.

Except it's still a highlighter, and just as highlighting text still lets you copy/read the underlying text, black highlighter is no different.

Also, separate from the visual images, nearly every PDF creator embeds a separate plain text copy in the PDF file in order to aid search and indexing functions. So even if the images were properly redacted, you can often still extract the original text.

The only way to truly produce a redacted PDF is to strip the plain text embed (uncheck "make text searchable" etc) then overlay the black bars, and then recompress or export the PDF so that the pages all flatten down to bitmap images only.

This document was filed in 2016, but you can copy and paste to a text editor to read the entire unredacted contents.

Only certain pages

Virginia whole testimony (143) Can be copy and pasted

UnidentifiedWhiteMan 4 points ago +4 / -0

143 is the only one I found that can be uncovered.

All the other ones are properly redacted.

At least on the 1st page.
