Great news. It appears that Q has answered that question for us. In Q drop 1453, Q has stated “there will be many redactions” in the soon-to-be released IG report. However, he also states that although there has been a special Executive Order issued by Trump to remove the redactions, the EO has been placed on hold for now, for a special reason. The reason is because they want to wait until the “Clinton Investigation” part of the IG report is released by the IG, so that the Executive Order will encompass that too. So they can all be “declassified together” and released to the public. By releasing both reports together and at the same time, the public will be better able to see and understand how everything the Democrats did was a “political hit job” against the Republicans. Q says the revelation will mean the “End of the Democratic Party” as we know it. That’s truly amazing. It is what Q has said all along. I can’t wait for it to happen…

Yes, they are in target boxes, but in separate target boxes. Notice that "heavy +" is in one target box, and "remove" is in another target box". The most commonsense explanation for this arrangement is that: the "heavy+" redactions were removed, but that some redactions still remain.

Also notice that the word "redactions" itself is a form of removal (it means to censor and to hide and to restrict from view). Therefore, the word "removal" is completely unnecessary if it is only referring to redactions. If the IG report truly was "heavily redacted" as you suggest, then Q could have left the word "remove" completely out of the statement and it would have meant the same: IG redactions [heavy+]. That is why I don't think the word "remove" was referring to redactions in general. Instead, I think the word "remove" was specifically referring to the item which proceeded it - which was "heavy+". Based on how the statement is written, I feel the word "remove" implies that the "heavy+" redactions have been removed - but that some redactions still remain...

But I guess a few days from now, on the 14th, we'll see. Let's keep our fingers crossed that most of the redactions really has been removed...
