General Discussion

I can figure I know just what happened... third time through, there were still too many names, including trumps, to completely redact. So, the underlings took the easy way out. Whether or not they were told to is of no consequence. The easy way was to just black out everything; that way, everybody trump was concerned about was protected and covered up (literally), and their own asses were covered (they figured). If the bosses told them to do it, well, all I can say is I wouldn't rob a bank if my boss told me to do it!

Everyone who works for government, especially at the White House, Justice, etc., knows the Constitution or has it right there to consult. There is no excuse an underling could make that would excuse him, IMO. "Just following orders" hasn't worked for a LONG time!

This isn't going to fly. Even the magas are likely to come unglued, as attached to this conspiracy as they are!
