Jake Broe: Anyone can read the redactions of the Epstein Files

by just copying and pasting them into a word doc. The people at Trump's Justice Department are so stupid they used Adobe Acrobat to black out the documents.

If the latter, someone should try to figure out if the "some that can" could be logically supposed to be the one's Trump wouldn't give a shit about people reading the whole thing, and the one's that cannot are the ones more likely to incriminate Trump himself (to the extent that's possible to determine while still redacted).

It's *probably* just incompetence, but I think one should allow for the possibility that it's actually not (or not entirely). These fuckers are all about deception, that's pretty well proven. If this trick is not universal, we should consider the possibility that the REAL incriminating ones were redacted by professionals a long time time ago, and these ones that can be "hacked" ... were not.
