It's extremely telling that I still think nothing is going to come of this or happen to Trump.

What's all this stuff about people copy & pasting redacted text into notepad (or something) to reveal the full contents of the redacted files?

The article links to an example document with this defect. For example go to page 20, #90, it looks like this:

But if you select the text and copy/paste it you get the following:

  1. JSC Interiors, LLC is a New York Limited Liability Company, the Articles of Organization of which were filed in November 2014. The Articles list JSC, who was forced and coerced to have sex with Epstein, as the company’s sole owner. JSC was manipulated, exploited, and controlled by the Epstein Enterprise.

(I just opened the PDF in Firefox and pasted into the hexbear comment box; no external tools needed.)

But if you open the PDF the OP is from, you will find that document was properly redacted, and you can't get the hidden info that way.
