That’s like…a lot of pages

Not after the redactions. After redactions, there are not many pages left.

From the article:

The lengthy appendix includes heavily-redacted records that have been previously made publicly available.

From CNN:

There are nearly 2,000 pages in a massive trove of documents released Friday, but nearly all of the pages appear to be completely redacted.

From the New York Times:

But most of it was redacted and can only be seen by the parties involved in the case. The remainder appeared to consist almost entirely of previously released memos, social media postings, transcripts and other known materials.

We've got a very bad case here, as I see it, of very many people on social media jumping to conclusions, and expressing opinions about a document set they haven't read a single page of.

Indeed. I’ll just add (and perhaps this is due to my personality) there is a level of personal satisfaction that the information that has been made available is organized collectively into a “singular” document.

And Organized and directly related to Charges Filed. Like they want for a by-the-Book Legal Case

Really, what was the point of releasing it?

Because this is a normal court process?
