Yup! And every leak that they plan to release will now be fully documented, including exactly who leaked the information, who originally viewed it and passed it along to their mainstream media contacts, who those specific media mouthpieces are, and even the methods they used to relay the details and through which channels they communicated. This creates a powerful deterrent against future leaks or selective obstruction because lawmakers now think twice before aggressively querying to protect allies or tip off contacts, restoring real accountability to the oversight process. It mapped behavioral intent in real time for the DOJ, giving clear intelligence on who prioritizes cover-up over justice and allowing targeted follow-ups based on who panicked most. It has flipped the narrative from congressional pressure on the DOJ to the DOJ holding Congress accountable, turning defense into offense and making opponents look defensive by exposing potential conflicts of interest.
It amplified public awareness and kept pressure on for full transparency, forcing ongoing discussion about redactions, victim handling, and protected names so it becomes harder for anyone to bury the scandal. It has strengthened the perception of executive resolve and competence, portraying the DOJ as unflinching, prepared, and serious about trafficking networks and elite accountability instead of endless delays. It isolated extreme obstructionists, creating a chilling effect where others distance themselves from aggressive pushback to avoid similar exposure and possibly making bipartisan cooperation easier on related issues. This outcome is genuinely impressive and strategic because it would never have been possible if the files had simply been released in fully unredacted form to the public without any controls. The fact they just threw it in their faces shows that while this was a clever move to achieve all the above, they've collected what they needed, the trap has snapped shut, and now it's about deterrence, final pressure, and signaling that the game is wrapping up with the good guys in control. These kinds of calculated moves and countermoves are precisely how the larger game gets won, and exactly how we've been winning. The way this was divulged tells me the DOJ and the plan are ready to close the book. We have arrived!
