Ridiculous classification practices remain ridiculous.
Why on earth is the FBI redacting text from an 8-year-old Washington Post article?. It was published in a large newspaper. Everyone read it. And even if it that basic nugget of common sense and reality weren’t enough, the Flynn phone call transcript it references, which
