You may also be aware that the expression "At this point in time" became an
instant cliche thanks to John Dean and the Watergate hearings.

Well, the expression may have been used when language was redacted in a
transcript, but it was the Watergate transcripts that made it a popular
colloquialism.

Funny, just yesterday, while conferring with opposing counsel in a lawsuit

lawyers ever use the word "redact."  And today, we have an answer.
