Friend –
The Justice Department missed its legal deadline to release the Epstein
files, and Republicans on the House Oversight Committee are watching it
happen and choosing not to intervene.
The Department of Justice missed a legal deadline to release the files.
That happened weeks ago. What has followed has been silence from the
Republican-led House Oversight Committee, the very body that exists to
confront failures like this.
Attorney General Pam Bondi is presiding over a Justice Department that is
ignoring its legal responsibilities. House Republicans could have demanded
answers immediately. They could have forced the issue into the open.
They've done neither.
That silence is ominous. Who and what are they protecting?
Instead of pressing the DOJ, Republicans have chosen distractions that may
generate headlines but don’t provide any accountability. Contempt votes.
Partisan score settling. A constant churn of activity that never quite
lands on the one question that matters: why the Epstein files are still
being withheld. Democrats on the committee are calling this out directly
and demanding the DOJ be held accountable for breaking the law.

way and force the release of the Epstein files! >>
What makes this so infuriating is to see how Epstein’s survivors are
treated in the process. Their suffering is invoked whenever it is
politically useful for Republicans, but when it comes time to release the
records that could expose failures, enablers, and misconduct, the urgency
evaporates. Accountability becomes meaningless.
Delay serves the Republicans’ interests. Each week that passes dulls
outrage. Missed deadlines start to be normalized. And the truth stays
buried.
This is how power avoids consequences: by waiting it out and trusting that
attention will drift.
[ [link removed] ]This only changes if Republicans are put under real pressure. Add your
name and help create the pressure. >>
House Republicans know exactly what is happening. They know the DOJ missed
its deadline. They know the files remain hidden. And they are choosing not
to force the issue because doing so would create accountability they would
rather avoid.
That choice must be challenged loudly and publicly. Because if Congress
will not enforce the law when it matters most, then the law becomes
optional for the people at the top.
And that is something worth refusing to accept.
