Who’s Watching the Watchmen? Calls Grow for an IG Probe Into the DOJ’s Epstein File Delay (1/9/26)

Who’s Watching the Watchmen? Calls Grow for an IG Probe Into the DOJ’s Epstein File Delay (1/9/26)

Calls for the Department of Justice’s Inspector General to step in and investigate the handling of the Epstein files release have intensified as delays, contradictions, and shifting explanations continue to pile up. What began as cautious skepticism has hardened into open frustration from lawmakers, transparency advocates, and legal experts who argue that the DOJ’s conduct no longer passes the smell test. Despite Congress passing legislation mandating disclosure, the DOJ has repeatedly claimed it needs years to review and redact millions of documents—an assertion that critics say directly conflicts with the government’s long-standing position that Epstein was thoroughly investigated years ago. If the material was already reviewed, categorized, and litigated over in past prosecutions and civil cases, the argument goes, then the idea that it suddenly requires a near-decade scrub looks less like due diligence and more like institutional stalling.


As a result, pressure has mounted for the Inspector General to examine whether the DOJ is acting in good faith or deliberately slow-walking compliance to shield itself from embarrassment, exposure, or liability. Lawmakers have raised concerns that the department may be protecting its own past misconduct—failed prosecutions, ignored evidence, sweetheart deals, and inter-agency breakdowns—by burying the record under procedural excuses. Survivor advocates have echoed those demands, warning that endless delays amount to a second betrayal, one that favors bureaucratic self-preservation over transparency and accountability. With every missed deadline and shifting justification, calls for an independent IG probe grow louder, fueled by the belief that the only way the public will ever learn the truth about Epstein’s protection is if the DOJ is investigated by someone who doesn’t have a vested interest in keeping the lid on.

Mega Edition: Gary Ridgway (The Green River Killer) (Part 19-20) (1/11/26)

Gary Leon Ridgway, better known as the Green River Killer, was one of the most prolific serial murderers in American history. Born in 1949 in Salt Lake City, Ridgway terrorized the Seattle-Tacoma area throughout the 1980s and 1990s. His victims were primarily vulnerable women — many of them sex workers or runaways — whom he lured into his truck before strangling them and dumping their bodies in remote wooded areas or near the Green River, which gave him his nickname. Ridgway maintained a steady job at a truck manufacturing plant, lived a seemingly ordinary suburban life, and even volunteered at church — all while carrying out a years-long killing spree that confounded investigators and horrified the nation.In 2003, Ridgway entered a plea deal that spared him the death penalty in exchange for full cooperation with authorities. He confessed to 48 murders but claimed the real number was closer to 70, saying, “I killed so many women I have a hard time keeping them straight.” Ridgway provided grisly details of his crimes — including necrophilia — and helped investigators locate remains of his victims years after their disappearances. His confessions revealed a cold, methodical predator who targeted women he believed would not be missed quickly, often returning to the scenes to relive his crimes. Ridgway was sentenced to 48 consecutive life sentences without parole, ensuring he would die behind bars.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.
