Because they didn't think it through, as usual.
They banked on being able to allude endlessly to the existence of a "list" beyond what was already released knowing full well it's near-impossible to prove something's nonexistence (Russell's teapot), but in their zealous stupidity they forgot Ghislaine Maxwell; the one person who can actually show whether and where the proverbial teapot exists.
So now they have egged Trump on towards another win and are instead fearing for their own as Maxwell now has Trump's blessing to inflict a little payback on the ones that took her love and her freedom.
