CHICAGO — December 25, 2025

It’s Christmas Day, and the Justice Department says it has over a million more documents potentially related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Discovered.

As if they were hiding behind a filing cabinet. As if prosecutors just stumbled over them while the office was closed for the holidays.

Let’s stop insulting the public. Epstein was investigated, charged, jailed, and silenced years ago. His partner was tried and convicted. You do not prosecute cases like that without documents — thousands of them, reviewed, cataloged, and relied upon in court. These materials did not suddenly materialize. They have existed the entire time.

So when the DOJ says releasing them may take “a few more weeks,” it doesn’t sound like diligence. It sounds like delay.

This Is Not a Paperwork Problem

Courts handle sensitive disclosures every day. Names are redacted. Victims are protected. Deadlines are enforced. The process is routine.

What’s missing here is not capacity. It’s intent.

Every additional week shields someone. Every vague update lowers public pressure. Delay is not neutral — it is a choice, and it consistently favors the powerful over the public.

Why Is Justice Being Announced on X?

The Justice Department did not announce this through a press conference.
Not through court filings.
Not through the DOJ briefing room.

It announced it on X — a privately owned social media platform controlled by a billionaire.

Since when does justice come with engagement metrics? When did “posted on X” replace formal disclosure? And how much public authority is being handed to a private company every time the federal government uses it as an official channel?

This is not modernization. It is abdication.

Justice is not content, and accountability is not a branding exercise.

Holiday Timing Is Not an Accident

Dropping this news on Christmas Day is a tactic as old as politics itself: release it when attention is scattered and outrage is inconvenient.

But Chicago recognizes a stall when it sees one. “A few more weeks” becomes a few more months. Months become silence. Silence becomes the plan.

Under the current Justice Department, seriousness is performed while answers are avoided. Transparency is promised while deadlines slide.

Rudolph gets ignored until the fog rolls in. Then suddenly he’s indispensable. Accountability works the same way in Washington — mocked until it’s useful, invisible until demanded.

Release the Files

If the DOJ can prosecute Epstein, it can release the records tied to him.
If it can convict his accomplice, it can face the public.
If it can post on X, it can answer questions on the record.

Release the documents.
Use the courts.
Brief the press.

Justice delayed isn’t just injustice — it’s complicity.
