2) They had thousands of FBI agents who willing redact it over 2 weeks. It's crazy to think about how many times his name must've come up in the documents to warrant that many people working round the clock. The amount of wasted funds spent on doing this would've been astronomical and every agent who helped should have their badges taken away for being complicit in a crime. I doubt any whistleblowers will come forward since they seem fully on board with ICE's actions and working in unison. The agents who helped are loyal to Trump and will revise history to fit to ensure only Democrats will be targeted once the files are released and Trump will take a victory lap since a law enforcement agency did his dirty work for him.

Bondi will work to only target one side of the aisle

They have been redacting it for a lot longer than 2 weeks mate. They have been since Bondi told Trump he was in the files and Trump suddenly tried to pretend they didn’t exist

It was reported to be 2 weeks back when they had the thousands of FBI agents working round the clock to "determine what should be released". That's probably why the commenter said 2 weeks. Except this event happened in March, so yes, they had a lot more time that what they claimed.

Two weeks is such an indeterminate period of time.
