🚨AG Blanche BLOWS MAJOR Deadline And BEGS Judge For MORE TIME In MY Lawsuit!!

Well, hello and welcome to today's episode of Unhinged Litigation on the part of Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in my lawsuit to obtain the unredacted Epstein files.It is Thursday, August 6, 2026, and Todd Blanche remains in violation of a federal law.Compliance was due December 19th, 2025.And as we sit here today, months later, Todd Blanche continues to break the law.There's really no other way to couch this.And when you see what they have filed now, it is an incredible admission that they don't know what the fuck they're doing.

So.Let's start with my most recent filing.Yesterday, my incredible lawyers, Brendan Ballew and Sam Ward Packard at the Public Integrity Law Project filed, excuse me, and Emily Gilman, I want to make sure that I give props to Emily Gilman, filed this.

It is plaintiff, Katie Fang, motion to compel answer and other relief.

Let's put this down for a second and let's go to law school.So under the rules of civil procedure, and we're traveling under the federal rules right now because this is a federal lawsuit that I brought, there is a deadline by which the defendant in the lawsuit must respond to the complaint.

I brought my lawsuit at the end of April, April 27th, 2026.Under the rules of civil procedure, Todd Blanche was supposed to respond to my lawsuit no later than June 29th, 2026.Doesn't take a, what is it, stable genius to determine that Todd Blanche is in default.He never responded to my lawsuit.

Now, before any of you take the Todd Blanch route and say, oh, but we've been litigating on the preliminaryand that's the reason why.Here's the thing.You can't say I didn't respond to Katie Fang's complaint because I was too busy doing other shit on our preliminary injunction motion.That doesn't work.Under the rules, if you are served with a complaint, you must respond.

Now, let's be clear.You have a variety of ways you can respond.You can do something called answer, meaning to each paragraph of my complaint, you either admit or deny the allegations, or you can move to dismiss.For example, if you think that there's something defective or flawed about my lawsuit, its allegations and its claims, you can move to dismiss pursuant to the applicable rules of procedure and the case law.In this instance, Todd Blanche sat on his ass and did nothing, did nothing.So let's get back to my filing.

Now I'm moving to compel an answer versus letting them file a motion to dismiss or other pleading.And we'll get into that in a second.

And I am asking the judge to require Blanche to file his answer no later than August 10th, which is this coming Monday.

And I'm also asking the judge to require him to produce the administrative record, in this case, no later than August 17th.And we'll get into the specifics of what I mean by the administrative record in a minute.So, as I mentioned, the relevant dates for your consideration are the following.Defendant was served with a complaint on April 27th, 2026.His answer or response was due by June 29th.He has failed to answer answer or otherwise plead by that deadline.

And more importantly, he never asked for time from the court.He never made a motion for a negation.or enlargement of time by which he could afford himself a little bit of leeway to be able to respond.You can't just ignore court deadlines.You can't just ignore procedural deadlines.If you do, you run the risk of being in default, meaning you run the risk of having admitted all of the allegations that have been set forth in the complaint.

And in this instance, Blanche didn't move the court for an extension of the deadline or otherwise request some type of stay or pause in these proceedings.

There is no question that the defendant is in default.And we cite to not only the applicable federal rule of civil procedure 55 sub a, but we also cite to a case.And I want to read the holding, which is the ruling that is the controlling thing from that case.because it is, as we say in the law, on all fours, meaning it meets it perfectly.Quote, once a defendant fails to file a responsive answer, he is in default and an entry of default may be made by either the clerk or the judge.So as a professional courtesy, because unlike the Trump Department of Justice, we don't litigate by way of sandbagging, meaning we don't try to surprise or do something to like trick people, my lawyers notified Blanche's lawyers, of the default, on July 31st.

Because, you know.June 28th came and went, never did anything, but we're like, hey, maybe they're going to do something.And we say, can you let us know by August 3rd, which is Monday, what you're planning on doing?

And we reference by exhibit the email correspondence that we had with Blanche's lawyers.Now let's look at that.This is an exhibit to my motion to compel answer.

And as we've represented in our motion on Friday, July 31st, we reached out to Stanley Woodward, the numberthree guy in the Department of Justice, and Sayufuddin Qalawalla, the assistant U .S.S.

attorney who had been handling the day -to -day on my case until Stanley Woodward stepped in, as you will recall, after my motion for preliminary injunction was granted.

We say, hey, when are you going to produce the administrative record?And also, your answer was due a month ago, so if you fail to find an answer by Monday, 5 p .m.Eastern, we're going to move for a default.

Okay, so this is what we do.We have the courtesy of this correspondence.

But here's another thing, because, you know, I'm going to make sure that we get what we need.Paragraph one of this email from my lawyers says this.Additionally, will the record contain the SharePoint site, PowerPoint presentations, Excel files, and videos whose existence was reportedly disclosed to journalist Allison Gill?

And we created a hyperlink to that reporting.Maybe this is a good time to talk about the administrative record.So when we talk about the administrative record, we're talking about what What were the documents, what were the policies, what were the rules that the Department of Justice relied upon when it made its decision that was that final agency action that it took, which is what I've referenced on my lawsuit, that declaration by Todd Lanch in January of this year that they were done.that the Department of Justice had complied with the Epstein -Fowles Transparency Act and had turned everything over to the public in compliance with that law.We all know that that's bullshit.There hasn't been compliance.

But the administrative record asks the DOJ, as the federal agency, to turn over to me as the litigant, as well as to the court, to show this is what we relied upon to be able to make our decisions in this country.And you can imagine what this administrative record should look like here, because there was a lot of internal consideration as to what would qualify for purposes of redaction or not.That's why the administrative record is important.It's important in all cases, but especially here in this one, it's important because the violation of this law is the final agency action taken by the Department of Justice.And so I need to see how the DOJ came to that determination.Now, that's part of the reason why, though, I wanted to see, are they going to turn over the training videos that were given to FBI analysts to tell them how to seek out the name of Donald Trump and other VIPs to redact them and to log those redactions.

We know my friend and colleague and fellow Midas touch friend here, Allison Gill, she sued under FOIA to get those training videos and she got them to admit that they exist, but they haven't turned them over to Allison.And that's why I asked, because why not?

Alrighty, so what was the response from the DOJ, though, to my lawyer's email?Well, they didn't respond on 31st of July, because why would you do that?No, they wait until the afternoon of Monday, August 3rd, because I'm sure they were scrambling because they were having that, oh, shit moment over the weekend of we're in default.They say, the government disagrees that default judgment is at issue here.And they say that There has never been a resolution of my motion for preliminary injunction.I mean, the gaslighting is very real here, is it not?

They say here they will seek a scheduling order from the court setting a deadline for Blanche to respond to my lawsuit for 60 days after the resolution of the preliminary injunction.motions.60 days?I sued him in April.It's freaking August.How much more time do you need to answer my complaint?

My lawyers quickly respond and say, uh, no.The federal rules say you got 60 days after service to respond.Your response was due June 29th.You failed to meet the deadline, did not ask for an extension.The government is in default.Additionally, the government must file a certified list of the contents of the administrative record within 30 days following service of the answer.

That should have been due July 29th.Finally, and most importantly, the preliminary relief motions, as in my motion for preliminary injunction, it's been resolved.The court granted my motion for preliminary relief and the government says, yourself, right?The DOJ slash Blanche says these can't be appealed.So your 30 days past due, your responsive deadline.Why would you need another 90 days now to be able to respond?

Again, no response on August 3rd, but at 7 .51 on Tuesday, August 4th, I mean, this is your government tax dollars at work paying for the salaries of these people, the AUSA syphon in Kalawala.We are not prepared to proceed by way of ultimatums.And instead, we intend to file a motion seeking a stay of the proceedings, nunc pro tonc, and requesting the court establish a schedule for dispositive motions beginning 60 days after the final resolution of the motion for preliminary injunction.They want to sit here and say that my motion for preliminary injunction is not final yet because the court has yet to rule on it.I mean, I'm looking at what you're looking at on the screen.That's an order and the memorandum of law on my motion for preliminary injunction.

It didn't say this is subject to some other work that needs to be done.It says I'm granting the motion for preliminary injunction.Do it by this date certain or show cause why you can't.It doesn't mean that my motion wasn't granted.So we respond and we immediately say, look, your deadline has passed.Any motion to relitigate your arguments you've already lost regarding the preliminary injunction is improper.

You're in default.We're going to file a motion to compel an answer.Have a nice day." And that's the correspondence.You can read it for yourself online.And so the bottom line is this.

As I've said, the court has already granted my motion for preliminary injunction.Whether Todd Blanche is in compliance or not is a whole other issue.As you've heard me explain, it's kind of a battle in the midst of the bigger war, which is for me to get the entirety of the unredacted Epstein files.The bottom line is this, the court entered its order granting my preliminary injunction on June 25th, 2026.So the status of Blanche's compliance does not deal with an answer to my complaint.It doesn't deal with the administrative record, and it certainly doesn't deal with the preliminary injunction.

It does only to the extent that it keeps on violating the preliminary injunction.So that's what we put in our motion here.

" Blanche was laying in wait for our motion to compel answer because within minutes of us filing it yesterday, they filed this.Defendant's motion to stay all filing deadlines.NUNC PRO TUNC pending resolution of the motion for preliminary injunction and motion to set briefing schedule.Now, let's talk about what NUNC PRO TUNC means.Well, maybe we'll talk about it in the context of this motion.

Instead of responding in opposition to our motion to compel answer and for other relief, they filed their own motion, as in Blanche filed this own motion.And at the very beginning of this motion, you will see, pursuant to federal rule of civil procedure six subsection B, if you go and you look on your screen right now, what is that?That is the rule that governs extensions of time.We're going to stop right now.Because what do you need an extension of time for if you believe, as these government lawyers have been trying to gaslight it into thinking, if you believe that you never had to respond yet because the motion for preliminary injunctionhad not been resolved.

Why are you citing to the federal rule of civil procedure that deals with extensions of time or enlargements of time?That in and of itself, folks, is an admission by Blanche that he blew the deadline.and then when you add on the latin nunc pro tunc what that means in the context of the law is they want to wind the hands of time back to when it would have been due which is june 29th and they're asking the tort to basically spot them the default period of time which has been months now right a month and some change They want the judge to agree that they not only blew the deadline at the end of June, but that the judge should give them an additional 60 days, not even from now, from, quote, the completion of this litigation on the preliminary injunction, which has already been done and over with June 15th.And the nunk -pro -tunk is an admission again that Blanche fucked up and that he didn't file it timely.This entire filing by the government is an admission that they screwed up.And there's more within it that I want to get into.

Alrighty, so ready?This is what Blanche wants.He wants the court to stay all of the filing deadlines, nunk -pro -tunk, meaning any and all deadlines that he's blown.He wants them to be rewound by the hands of time back to when he blew those deadlines, and he wants them all paused.He wants to stay.He wants to set a schedule requiring him to answer or otherwise respond within 60 days after resolution of my pending motion for preliminary injunction.

These people operate on a different planet.There is no, quote, pending motion for preliminary injunction.It was filed, it was argued, it was briefed, and it was ruled on by the judge, and it's done.Blanche's continued noncompliance with the preliminary injunction is a whole other cup of tea.But these people are whacked.Like, I don't even know how they even practice law.

So they say briefing on the motion for preliminary injunctionis now complete and the matter is before the court for decision.What?It's like they also want to think that you as the American people are too stupid to understand what's happening here.You all have been along for this journey.I have taken you with me every single damn step.

And you know that order granting preliminary injunction was done back in June and that we've been waiting for the production of these documents that were a part of the preliminary injunction being granted.They want to say that my threatened action is untethered from both the facts and the law.You want to talk about untethered?Untethered to reality is Todd Blanche and the Trump DOJ, 100 percent.Blanche goes on to say that the current posture of this case has the preliminary injunction briefing before the court posing several threshold legal questions, including whether the court has subject matter jurisdiction over my claims.We got to stop here for a second.

You don't have to be.a lawyer to understand this.

If the court never had subject matter jurisdiction, meaning it never had the ability to decide my claims, it never would have granted my motion for preliminary injunction in the first instance.As you recall, that order granting my motion for preliminary injunction not only acknowledged that it has jurisdiction as the court, but it also acknowledged that I had standing based upon my harm of informational harm and economic harm to bring this lawsuit.

Again, Blanche doesn't seem to understand the law here.Then it says a final ruling on these issues will impact the trajectory of this litigation.

Well, of course it will, but that's why you were supposed to have answered my complaint back at the end of June.

A stay of all filing deadlines until 60 days after the court's resolution of the motion for preliminary injunction.Again, a lie.The motion for preliminary injunction has been resolved.It would allow the parties to engage in further proceedingswith a full understanding of the court's views on the threshold question.Let me tell you something.

This thing smacks of being written like an A .I.because it's just verbose, wordy, flowery, and it says nothing.OK, now listen to this.This is Roman numeral two on page three of Blanche's motion.

And let me tell you, this is This is the let -me -go -into -the -confessional -booth -and -confess -all -of -my -sins energy because this is where Blanche admits that he blew the deadline and he effed up.

There is good cause to permit the filing of defendant's motion to stay and to set defendant's deadline to respond.Huh?Listen to this.Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6B1B, remember I told you a few minutes ago that Blanche has filed this motion under the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure that governs motions for extension of time.This is when you go to the court before the deadline has passed and you ask with good cause, meaning with a justifiable reason that is recognized under the law and within judicial discretion, to get additional time.Under the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6b1b, this court may extend the time for filing an act after the deadline has passed if the movement demonstrates, quote, good cause, including excusable neglect.

And there, my friends, is the confession by Todd Blanche that he blew the deadline.Excusable neglect.Well, isn't that an admission that you messed up?

But you have a, quote, excusable reason why you did?Let's get into that reasoning, because I'd like to know, too.The determination of whether neglect is excusable is, at bottom, an equitable one, taking account of all relevant circumstances surrounding the party's omission.

There you go.More confessions by Todd Blanch that he blew the deadline.Do you think somebody like that should be the Attorney General of the United States if you can't actually handle a basic deadline like responding to a lawsuit?Makes you wonder, right, how he could adequately and competently represent the people of the United States of America.But we know he doesn't.We know he only represents convicted felon Donald Trump.

Page four, right here, folks.

Quote, to the extent any deadline was missed, that oversight, while regrettable, was not intentional.It was not made in disregard of the court's deadline.Rather, it occurred while the defendant was fully and visibly engaged in defending this action.Additionally, it has not caused plaintiff any undue prejudice, as reflected in their continuous participation in the preliminary injunction litigation.Wait, wait, wait, let me get this straight.You admit that you missed the deadline.

It was an oversight, though.It was regrettable.But you claim it wasn't intentional.Is that the same?It wasn't intentional to disclose all the private confidential information of the victims and survivors.Is that the same energy we're going for here?

And it was not made in disregard of the court's deadline.Honey, it wasn't the court's deadline.It was the rule of civil procedure deadline.So I don't even know what this lawyer is even talking about on behalf of Todd Blanche.The defendant was fully invisibly engaged in defending this action.Well, if that were the case, then you would have filed the appropriate document on or before the deadline.

But you didn't.And now you're being caught with your pants down.And now you're scrambling because you're having a really big, oh, shit moment right now.

I have continuously participated as a plaintiff in the litigation.Of course I have.There's a reason why I brought this lawsuit.There's a reason why I brought the preliminary injunction.There's a reason why I am pushing to be able to get a quick, quick resolution of this.the Department of Justice under acting Attorney General Todd Blanche has been violating the law on the daily since December 19th of 2025.

They keep on asking for 60 days.60 days is like the magic potion for Blanche.and the Department of Justice.They want an extension of time because they don't want to be able to commit further resources to litigation in this court if they don't think it makes sense.And then look, there's a whole lot of other legal bullshit here that none of which makes any sense.But here's what I don't understand.

Check out who actually is on the signature block here.Respectfully submitted Janine Ferris Pirro, United States Attorney.If you go back and you look at the other filings in this case, Janine Pirro's name doesn't show up.Is Janine Pirro now on my lawsuit?Is Janine box of wine joining the party?

would make sense.Janine Box of Wine Party.Why is Janine Pirro's signature on my lawsuit?I haven't seen a notice of appearance filed by Janine Pirro.That'd be interesting if Janine thought she could litigate this.

Is this where felon Trump is sending Janine after she screwed up the Davey Hearn and the other criminal prosecutions for the reflecting pool that was never damaged by them?Where after the abject and ridiculous defamation and other horrific actions taken against these poor people that never did anything wrong?And then she was forced to have to dismiss these indictments and litigation.Is this where Jeannie is going to hang out with me and my incredible legal team?Look, people, I say some of this in jest, but I say this with total gravity.

This is the type of gamesmanship and game playing that goes on with this Department of Justice.In some instances, it results in death.In the instance of my lawsuit, it results in unreasonable delay.And all it does is pour kerosene on the shitshow conflagration, which as they continue to hide.the Epstein files.They won't comply with Judge Sullivan's order on the preliminary injunction.

They won't even comply with the law called the Epstein Files Transparency Act.So are you surprised that they blew a deadline?I don't know.Part of me always remains not surprised.And yet part of me is like, you guys suck.And I would never pull this as a lawyer, but you clearly don't care.

You don't care about what the perception is of your competency as a lawyer or your ethical obligations as a lawyer.You just don't hope you keep your job through every DOJ and government position.

All righty, so that's the latest.Be mad, be outraged, demand accountability.You know who I am.

I'm off to... rattle some more cages.
