Yesterday the FBI released heavily redacted documents related to the Steele dossier:

Because of heavy redaction, it is not possible to tell when payments to former British spy Christopher Steele began, but it has previously been reported that he assisted the FBI with past investigations. https://t.co/9XzbpoyNVG

More:
The FBI on Friday released dozens of documents related to the bureau’s relationship with former British intelligence officer Christopher Steele, who compiled the infamous Trump dossier.
The 71 pages are heavily redacted and contain mostly payment requests and receipts. The documents also confirm the FBI terminated its relationship with Steele after he leaked information to the press about the dossier on President Trump.
The documents are redacted to the point of near uselessness:

Buck Sexton took the FBI to the woodshed over the documents and the timing of their release:
Oh wow, it must be just a coincidence that the FBI puts this out at 8pm on a Friday night in August
They really think we are morons.
Maybe because the anti-Trumpers who believe this isn’t intentional actually are morons https://t.co/JhZxUEKadC

The time-honored Friday doc dump, with a twist.
71 pages fully redacted. They could release it at high noon on a Monday and it wouldn’t make a difference.

That’s the point. The redactions are absurd. They are dumping the absurdity late on a summer Friday night.

Blank pages. All of them.

The FBI’s redaction department sure was working overtime on that project.
Typical Friday release. https://t.co/qtn45yZiQv

I'm laughing that they redacted his name, but retained the file name … using HIS NAME. That's a special level of stupid.
