protecting every single victim.


"Victim" to them does not mean any of the girls or boys trafficked for sex. Victim to this administration means those oligarchs who got caught with their pants down. Can't have THEIR names drug through the gutters, you know...

Three passes by thousands of government employees each time wasn't enough to finish the redactions? Anyone with any common sense knows with this action the administration is admitting there's so much trump in this files, as well as leaders from other countries, banks, hedge funds, tech bro outfits, and other high muckety mucks who get all the tax breaks, that there's no way to ensure everyone is protected.

But the estate has released unredacted files, correct? It'd be very interesting to do a compare and contrast between same documents between trump and the estate. See just exactly what trump was trying to keep redacted and away from public knowledge.

I do believe the words "National Security" should be banished from our language after we get back the government. No more "protecting National Security" by keeping Americans in the dark about what their government is doing. Especially after living through this decade of trump, and Bush/Cheney prior to that, I think we can see we are all big boys and girls now. We can't face whatever this government has done and demand accountability for it.
