I haven't made up my mind as to whether or not it was intentional or a fuckup.
Either way it serves to muddy the waters around the veracity of what we info is released.
Even if the Epstein files were released unredacted in their entirety, there simply too much information there for any one person to grasp without devoting to it the same effort as a PhD thesis. The way things are being released is compounding this.
It's made worse by:
The Piecemeal Release.
Redacted portions.
Redacted portions that can be unredacted.
Those same portions properly redacted in later releases.
Documents first being released then taken off the DOJ website.
Documents released by different entities. (DOJ, Congress, Estate)
It all just makes it more difficult to gather the information coherently, know what is relevant, and trust what you're reading. Huge portions of the population will not trust this source, or that source. Some will refuse to believe the unredacted bits aren't just made up. It'll be nearly impossible to get the information together before another bit is released, or another bit disappears again and hard to verify it even existed in the first place.
Intentional or not dragging it out like this acts like a pressure release valve for the public's furor. By the time it's "all" released it will have been so long and the process of vetting any tidbit of info will be so convoluted that anyone who still cares will be seen as a kook and a crank.
RIP bozos.
