When I first looked at the list the DOJ released, one question came up immediately:
What was the goal?
Then the DOJ pulled thousands of the same documents back down because victims’ information had been exposed.
That told me everything I needed to know.
If this information “doesn’t mean anything,” why release it?
And if it does mean something, why release it this carelessly?
You don’t get to say:
These are unverified and don’t warrant investigation.
After you drop them on the public and walk away.
When an institution releases explosive material and refuses to explain it, chaos fills the gap. People speculate. Victims get blamed. Innocent people get dragged. No one knows what’s real anymore.
That’s not transparency. That’s confusion.
And the harm wasn’t theoretical.
Victims were exposed. Survivors were retraumatized. Reputations were damaged just by association.
This isn’t about proving who’s guilty.
It’s about responsibility.
If an institution releases sensitive information, it has a duty of care.
Transparency doesn’t erase that duty.
It increases it.
When institutions are forced to show but refuse to act, they choose chaos over clarity, because chaos carries less accountability.
And that’s the part we should all be paying attention to.
By handling this so carelessly, the DOJ didn’t just release documents , it released confusion. It created chaos, fueled distrust, and caused real harm to real people. And when any organization, especially one with this level of power, causes that kind of damage, it shouldn’t get to hide behind the word “transparency.” Like any other institution, it should be held accountable for the harm it caused.
