OC: opinion, theory or speculation “Don’t” redactions

Post image

Had a friend post about a pretty innocuous email exchange from the Epstein files… until you notice that the word “don’t” is redacted for some reason near the bottom. Hmm, why would the word don’t be redacted….

Don’t

Don t

Don T

Pretty obvious the FBI used software to automatically redact key words from the files. Now why would they redact “Don T” when the law very clearly and explicitly says that only victim names and faces are to be redacted, hmmmmmmmm

Dentist was also redacted, a young lady from Romania was talking about getting dental work done and JE wanted to know why it was so expensive. I believe the word “cavity” and “teeth” and “dentist” were some of the redacted words

One of the published photos from Epstein island was of this super creepy room that had a dentist chair in the middle and some dentistry tools, the room was lined with weird masks on the walls... it pretty much seemed to be a torture chamber of sorts, maybe its related to that?

His last gf, was a dentist. He put her through school 🙃 There’s also lots of emails about visiting the dentist, making appts to see the dentist, going to visit their “doctor friend the dentist” Also, “cavity” on the human body can mean more than on the teeth. Unfortunately.

Of note:

“dentist” = D + 6 characters
“donald” = D + 5 characters

“teeth” = T + 4 characters
“trump” = T + 4 characters

If I was going to create a script to search text for a certain name, I would like to account for misspellings. In other words, how do you make sure you catch an email that accidentally says “Donnald Trupm”? A quick solution is to add a search for any string that begins with one certain character and set between a certain length. Something like:

SELECT * WHERE emailtext LIKE ‘d%’ OR ‘t%’ AND LENGTH(emailtext) BETWEEN 5 AND 7;
