There is no way the feds that I thought could remotely spawn a hobgoblin in my room are this incompetent at putting black bars on text.

I doubt they didn't know how to use the correct tool.
I think its on purpose. There are actual documents with significantly more evidence and shocking content. Those have been hidden or destroyed.
Then they plant an "oopsie, we used the wrong redaction tool" on documents that are bad enough to satisfy us, but not terrible enough to lose their voters, and we are now distracted with them.
It's the oldest trick in the book: make the person feel smart because they're outmaneuvering you. We feel like geniuses for finding the loophole around the redactions, that's likely what they wanted from the start.
