This screams malicious compliance to me. A lot of the staffers who would actually be doing this work are not elected officials doing this kind of work for the first time, and there would absolutely be strong guidelines on how to properly redact something.
There’s also the possibility of the bosses asking why they’re taking so long when they can just highlight it in black. A sufficiently rude boss rarely is spared from their own foolishness
Incompetence or malicious compliance from some FBI officers?

I’m opting for malice. Lemmy acting like they’re smarter, yet not realizing this isn’t Trumps cabinet members personally editing this shit.
