I was listening to the radio while running an errand when I heard the Mueller Report had been released. The above link was the first that came up when I did a search. I quickly posted the story using my mobile phone to get it to the community as quickly as possible. Here are additional sources as well as the MD5SUM and resultant file sizes from downloading each. The CNN file has a different size from the others. A quick inspection suggests that it contains searchable text (presumably through OCR (Optical Character Recognition) processing) whereas the others contain images of each of the pages in the report.

On page 12 or so, there is an individual who was targeted for investigation whose name is redacted, but has either a 2-letter last name or a 2-letter suffix on their name. My guess is "Donald Trump Jr", which both fits the space and the issues under discussion. From that, it's reasonable to guess that the other redacted names nearby were "Ivanka Trump", "Eric Trump", and/or "Jared Kushner". Because the don's kin always has to be protected in a crime family.

Are you talking about the paragraph that begins;
So we got two blacked out names. Looks like standard Microsoft Word with Times New Roman and 12pt font gets you to correct line spacing for
If we, for the sake of argument, plug Donald J Trump Jr into the second box, we can test names that fit the first to see when the Jr overflows to the next line. Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, Eric Trump, Donald J Trump, don't push it to the next line when you put them in. Mean that the first redaction is probably two names. Jared + Ivanka are too long and push "Trump Jr" to the second line, not just the Jr. Same with Jared/Eric. Ivanka/Eric fits.
Would be kind of odd to break them up like that, but who knows. It is also interesting because that means that they are not being charged with anything collusion related, because personal privileged redactions are done to avoid people not being charged from being mentioned out of context. I am not sure those names are correct though. In word it puts the second line using those names as longer than the first line, which is not the case in the actual document.

That was the paragraph I'm speculating about, yes. And I'll admit the evidence is thin for my guesses. Thank you for doing a more thorough investigation than I did.
