So far, it appears that the DOJ and FBI have been spending more time redacting information that is embarrassing than information that is otherwise classified. You have to wonder who becomes the ultimate arbitrator here?

Trump orders declassification of FICA Warrants
DOJ and FBI are working diligently behind the scenes to redact the information anyways? Apparently they still don't believe that declassification is declassification. Obviously there is still much to hide, or they wouldn't still be frantically working to keep things under the black marker.
So far, it appears that the DOJ and FBI have been spending more time redacting information that is embarrassing than information that is otherwise classified. You have to wonder who becomes the ultimate arbitrator here?

You are a shameless man.

Actually Roger - there have been multiple previously redacted information that was unredacted, and none of those redactions had anything to do with anyone's life or death.
What it had to do with was protecting the reputations of Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr, Linda Page, Andrew McCabe, and James Comey.
But then again... the actual truth doesn't conform well with your own unrealistic belief that a bunch of fired and demoted people facing possible charges were all actually pillars of law enforcement doing everything with integrity and dignity.
When will you realize that it's not a coincidence that independent internal investigations has shown all of these players were corrupt and that they were all involved in both the Hillary and Trump investigatios?
Exposing their doings would never been known IF not for the Trump Win.
"What it had to do with was protecting the reputations of Peter Strzok, Bruce Ohr, Linda Page, Andrew McCabe, and James Comey."
And Brannon.
Nothing to see here
"Former FBI deputy director Andrew McCabe, who was fired for lying under oath, spent $70,000 in taxpayer dollars on a conference table. The FBI also redacted the conference table’s steep price tag from documents that members of the Senate Judiciary Committee requested, in an apparent attempt to hide it from Congress."
Whoever redacted this should have been fired, right?
Dianne Feinstein could have called her as a witness during the actual hearing. She should show and tell her story in public under oath.
Senate probes FBI's heavy-handed use of redactions to obstruct congressional investigators
When it comes to questionable behavior by some inside our intel agencies, there are endless termite tunnels to crawl through and not enough investigative bandwidth — or will — to examine each one.
For the first time in my memory, a member of Congress is exploring one of these relatively uncharted tunnels: improper redactions of government documents. The head of the Senate Homeland Security Committee, Sen. Ron Johnson(R-Wis.), is not only seeking redacted material but also is trying to find out who is responsible for withholding it.
Improper redactions are when federal reviewers — in consultation with their political masters — block out parts of documents that the public or Congress is entitled to see. Under policy and law, redactions are only permitted in limited, carefully defined circumstances, such as to protect national security. After all, government officials do not lord over us; they work for us, on our behalf. They own neither the documents they generate nor the information they collect; we do.
Yet, too often, the feds have redacted information in an apparent attempt to obstruct efforts to investigate their actions, or to prevent release of material that implicates them in embarrassing behavior or wrongdoing.
In a letter to FBI Director Christopher Wray, Johnson accuses the FBI of providing a “slow-walked, inadequate response” to his queries. “Moving forward, I expect more complete and expeditious responses to my oversight requests,” writes Johnson.
He includes some seemingly outrageous examples found among text messages written by FBI agent Peter Strzok to his reported then-lover, FBI attorney Lisa Page. One of them reads, "Currently fighting with Stu for this FISA," where "Stu for this FISA" was redacted in a version turned over to Congress.
“FISA” refers to the secretive Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which dictates limited terms under which the FBI can wiretap U.S. citizens. It’s not known who “Stu” is but a man named Stuart Evans is National Security Division deputy assistant attorney general at the Justice Department. And the date of the text coincides with the timeframe in which FBI agents successfully convinced a FISA judge to let them wiretap Trump campaign adviser Carter Page.
Other redactions included: "Went well, best we could have expected. Other than L.C.'s quote, 'the White house is running this'” (the initials “L.C.” had been redacted); and "Jesus. More BO leaks in the NYT" ("BO" had been redacted).
An additional redaction included this entire section: "Clinton, Mills, and Abedin all said they felt the server was permitted and did not receive information that it was not. To the extent there was objection down the line in IRM, we did not pursue that as State OIG did, because it was not a key question behind our investigation. There are going to be many avenues we might have pursued if we had unlimited time and resources, but this is one of those categories of wouldn't have changed our fundamental understanding of the gravamen of the case."
According to Johnson, “None of the above redactions are clearly justified” under criteria outlined in Justice Department communications. “The FBI and the Justice Department have not explained the basis for redactions to these text messages, or any other document produced to date.”

there are no lives at stake here, drama queenie. careers perhaps, and maybe some freedoms that succumb to prison sentences in a federal pen. but no lives.
one things for sure - a whole lot of democrat asses are puckered though i can't imagine why. i mean, we're trying to get at the truth here, aren't we?

Depends - with Brett Kavanaugh, having a long drawn out process with no hope of getting to the truth seems to be the goal.
With the FBI it's all about allowing them to provide what they want to provide and hide what they don't... and of course trusting that they are honest about it.
Mueller investigation has nothing to do with the truth about Russia. If it was, then you wouldn't see them spending millions prosecuting people over old charges that are irrelevant to Russia.

and those of us who are paying attention have noticed the pattern here. in every case democrats have no interest in determining the truth. not with kavanaugh, not with russia, not with the paki IT cabal empowered by debbie shitforbrains schultz.
in literally* every case you can think of, not only is the truth not the priority, but the exact opposite - the suppression of the truth is paramount. so one can conclude that while hypocrisy is the bedrock of liberalism, the end product of liberalism is one big pack of fucking LIES.
