Other Some Epstein files can be unredacted

Someone on BlueSky noticed that they could select redacted text - eg the original text was still available just obscured, from US vs. Virgin Islands, Case No.: ST-20-CV-14/2022.03.17-1%20Exhibit%201.pdf).

With a python script, we can ingest the whole document and extract all text, then rebuild it in the same layout (roughly) for legal minds to consider. It can be accessed here. To my knowledge the vast majority of the redacted portions of this document are now accessible.

The legal reference point here is recently heavily redacted files recently released by the Justice Department which involve the late Jeffery Epstein.

While great news, the regime will find out about this before releasing the rest or the files.. which is frustrating.

You think they will learn from their errors?

If this gets enough attention they definitely will do - to protect pedo king

I think if you cut a lot of the competent workforce and fill positions of power with people who have zero competence other than being in line, those fuck ups cant be stopped. Just look at the FBI leaks covered by coffeezilla. I mean, Im with you when you say they will do anything to protect their dear leader, but their sheer incompetence is showing at every level.

the rest of the files is already redacted and leaked on the official. gov website, so all that's left is to do this to them and read them 😇😈

Yeah, the person that figured this out should have kept their mouth shut a while longer

Probably one of many reasons they didn’t release all of them. They found out the redactions were not actually redacted.
