Why is this a scan?
- jessaustin 8y agoThey don't want this bullshit living forever in search engines.
- Tomte 8y agoBecause surprisingly, the real indictment is on real paper. With a real signature and a real stamping on it.
- jessaustin 8y agoWas it typed on a "real" typewriter? Because otherwise, this pretext is bullshit. If it's not searchable it's not really available to the public.
- Tomte 8y agoProbably not. But still, I don't understand your view. It's six pages, double-spaced, for God's sake! And you can run OCR on it (and republish it). There are many other things I'd be concerned about first, when it comes to "available to the public".
- weaklearner 8y agoIt is bullshit PACER isn't free or significantly cheaper
- jessaustin 8y agoLots of people will do that. Wikileaks included, probably. It is still the case that DoJ went to extra effort to print out and rescan an electronic file they already had in electronic form. They did that for an obvious reason; this document falls embarrassingly short of even DoJ's already low standards. Most DoJ personnel are not rabid centrist Democrats. The sooner everyone forgets about this tawdry episode, the happier they'll be.
- mrguyorama 8y agoI'm pretty sure this is just SOP at the DoJ. Where any of Muller's indictments released digitally?
