First time? The files are absolutely chock full of this stuff. Including one email that said something along the lines of "I had a nice time with your little girls, they were very naughty".

I'm not familiar with everything at the federal level, but I fullfill a lot of Open Records in my state (Texas), and it's illegal to release certain private information about living people in an open records request. Things like social security numbers, DL#s etc, and email addresses are specifically prohibited from release.

Lots of my responses look similar to this if the person's identity in the header is just the email address.

For instance, if the header says John Doe johndoe@domain.com the redaction would black out the email address and leave the name. But if Outlook doesn't have the name saved in the header it would black out everything.

Interesting point. I hadn't thought about that. We can all say he's implicated in sex trafficking, who cares? But due process for all, or due process for none, can't go doxxing people.

However, that being said. There's a small black or above, and a long one below. They can't both be the same email address. Could be a different similar situation as you described, but I bet there's a plain name in there somewhere.

Sometimes Outlook will list an email address in the proper name field in the header too.

For instance their email address may be "suspectedpedophile26@maga.com" and the header will sometimes say:

suspectedpedohile26@maga.com suspectedpedophile26@maga.com

We keep track of the release of the files, but also to explore what’s already available, and why – with enough exposure – this could bring the man down, and who knows even his regime or the empire.
