So Mods merged my thread on ths into another one and then closed that.
That's why I'm bringing this back up with a new OP.
Apparently the review process was long, involved, and chaotic, Actually keep hundreds of agents locked down in the building for days on end and with fluctuating parameters. There is an actual spreadsheet of instances trump was named in the files, and video instruction on what to put in it. And if they need a spreadsheet, I can only assume there were many, because you don't put 5 or 10 things in a spreadsheet.
At first, the analysts were told to mark nothing. This was roundly rejected by the analysts, who were then told to not think about it as releasing the information - including victims names - to the public, but to think about it as releasing it to the Attorney General. It was assumed that Bondi and Patel wanted all the information, including the victim’s names and information. Analysts were told that what would be released would be solely up to Pam Bondi. Many feared that the victim’s information would be released or used for nefarious purposes. Eventually, lawyers from the Department of Justice were assigned to the project to oversee what was being flagged for redaction.
That changed pretty quickly and the analysts were next told to mark the victim’s names for redaction. Then soon after that, they were told to mark all other Personal Identifiable Information (PII) such as social security numbers and addresses. Then they were told to mark all descriptions of illicit acts for redaction. Then finally, they were instructed to keep a spreadsheet of instances when Trump was mentioned. After the spreadsheets of mentions of Trump were handed in, they were stitched together in one master list. I was not able to learn how many mentions of Donald Trump were on that master list.
