DOJ Delays Epstein Docs to 'Protect Survivors,' Not 'Powerful Associates,' Obviously
Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche recently defended the partial release of Jeffrey Epstein files, citing the need to 'protect survivors.' This, according to the AP's reporting on December 21, 2025, from West Palm Beach, is why the Trump administration missed a congressionally mandated deadline. Democrats, meanwhile, are 'crying foul.' One might almost forget these are the same administrators
who, for four years, seemed less concerned with protecting survivors and more with protecting the 'powerful associates' Epstein once counted among his peers. The irony is rich: a DOJ official, whose administration frequently faced accusations of stonewalling, now insists on 'caution' and 'review' when the names of powerful individuals, including 'political leaders and business titans' (AP's words,
not ours), might see the light of day. It’s almost as if the definition of 'sensitive information' expands dramatically when it approaches the upper echelons of society. How many times have we seen the 'slow drip' strategy turn into a 'we lost the files' strategy?
