There are color coded &#8220;redactions&#8221; with explanations on why the material is redacted.<\/p>\n<p>The document, as released by the Department of Justice, is available below, unedited. The only change is the addition of &#8220;The Black Vault&#8221; header, which accompanies every .pdf file downloaded from this website. I also included a SEARCHABLE .pdf, which was created by myself. As with most government document drops, they release it without a search capability. You can find that version below, as well, as created by The Black Vault. Other than a searchable conversion (OCR process), there are no changes to the document, accept the addition of the header.<\/p>\n<p>Have comments?
