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.
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.
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.
