They're on display in the bottom drawer of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard".
I don't think so. This was on the news just a few days ago. I think the files are quite accessible, but only to high-level officials. The point is that it would take many days of full-time work to sift through everything, and they cannot offload it to other people working for them.
You need more HHGTTG in your life.
What do you mean? They are only available to members of congress, not their staffs, which do all the work, and only available in a secure scif whatever, they can't bring in electronics, it's read only, and taking notes.
Lawmakers don't do anything themselves their staff does stuff. Disallowing their staffs, and electronic devices to be used, guarentees they won't be able to uncover virturally everything being hidden from us here.
So no, the files aren't accessible, there is zero way to get an honest accounting of even these 3 million of 8 million total pages that were illegally redacted before the justice department got to redacting them.
