I really hoped the entire collection of documents would have been disseminated by now.
Surely it's been long enough that anything in them that might compromise the security of undercover people or irrelevant personal information or whatever could have been redacted.
It's so frustrating.

You could steal all the emails of any HN user and cherry pick a few dozen to make them look like a monster, where I believe on the whole most users of this site are good people.
- asynchronous 3y agoThe feds are extremely unwilling to declassify documents that have been leaked. They usually continue to deny details or the entire existence of them even decades after it’s “public knowledge”

That's how you win wars, be more persistent, more capable, and surprise your enemies with your capabilities. There are undercover intelligence assets that have been undercover for 10-20 years.
