Co-conspirators are prosecuted in parallel or semi-parallel all the time, without waiting for the core prosecution to conclude.
There was no reason for why the administration had to wait for the files to be unsealed to go after anyone it wanted to. Unsealing them only makes the records available to the public at large, not the rest of the DOJ.

And to be fair, it seems to have worked: Maxwell seems to be the only person anywhere to be tried, convicted, and incarcerated for the sex trafficking portion of Epstein's operation. The UK has only indicted Andrew and Peter Mandelson for their mishandling of state secrets. 2) The people mentioned as co-conspirators do have the resources to make this "go away" in the realest terms. This is a KGB-like circle of accountability. They don't have to rely on lone wolves with questionable mental state to make their problems disappear. They've got the connections and resources to get a professional to do it, through bribery, intimidation, or worse.
