Judge Sullivan Receives Epstein Files After DOJ Runs Out the Clock · The Vault: The Epstein Files

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Epstein Chronicles. Over the past few weeks, we've been talking
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: about the battle between Katie Fang and the Department of
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: Justice over some unredacted Epstein files that she claims should
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: have been made public. And after failing to get the
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: information she was looking for using the Freedom of Information process,
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: she decided to escalate things and file a lawsuit. Well,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: the judge ruled in her favor. And after that ruling,
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: the DOJ, led by Todd Baby Billy Blanche, has been
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: slow-walking the process for as long as humanly possible. Unfortunately
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: for Todd Blanche, Judge Emmett Sullivan is not the one.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: And after ruling in favor of Katie Fang, he expected
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: the DOJ to comply. And of course, in typical Todd
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: Blanche DOJ fashion, they tried to have a workaround. They
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: tried to avoid handing over the information that was ordered
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: to be handed over. But after a lot of pressure
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: from the court, those documents have now been handed over
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to Judge Emmett Sullivan. So today, we have an article
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: from Alternet and the headline, Blanche surrenders unredacted Epstein files
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: within minutes of judge's deadline. This article was authored by
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Adam Lynch. President Donald Trump's interim AG, Todd Baby Billy Blanche,
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: appears to have given up the ghost on hiding information
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: That could potentially out cohorts. Of convicted Jeffrey Epstein. Well
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: that would be nice huh? Isn't that the whole entire goal?
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: I thought the whole entire point. Was for some transparency.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: So we could see what happened. Who was involved? Who
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: made the decisions? Have we gotten any of that information?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: Instead we keep getting the run around. Without even getting
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: a reach around. Reporter Katie Fang recently grabbed a huge
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: win against Blanche and his crusade to keep the Epstein
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: files under wraps. After months of stalling by the Trump
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: administration and ignoring the letter of the new law demanding
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: the release of the sex traffickers files, U.S. District Judge
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Emma G. Sullivan demanded insight on Trump's longtime friendship. Sullivan
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: sided with the former MSNOW show host Fang in her
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: lawsuit demanding the Trump administration adhere to the Epstein Transparency Act.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: That seems a bit out of pocket, no? I thought
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: that this administration was the most transparent administration in the
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: history of America. Isn't that what we were told? Well,
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: this administration is the most transparent administration you're ever going
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: to see. Meanwhile, back here in reality, they're fighting tooth
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: and nail to defend the network of a human trafficking
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: child molester. And look, I know the DOJ has been
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: in bed with some very bad people in the past,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: but this is a step too far. If you want
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: to get into bed with some kind of mafia guy, cool.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: And you're going after other mafia dudes, great. You motherfuckers
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: let this dude do what he did for all these years,
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: let all these people get hurt, and now you're acting
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: like you had nothing to do with it? Like nobody
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: knew what Epstein was? Like nobody was running him? Come on.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: It's rather obvious that Jeffrey Epstein was being protected. The
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: only question at this point is by who? And unfortunately,
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: I doubt we're ever going to know. Because if you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: think that the files that the DOJ has are the
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: only Epstein files in existence, you're going to be in
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: for a big surprise. Because the DOJ and the FBI, well,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: they have the crumbs. But Langley and the CIA, they
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: have the cake. Fang predicted on Wednesday that Blanche, Trump's
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: former personal defense attorney, would try to get an appeal
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: to stall the release of the redacted information But she
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: acknowledged that this would be very difficult because Judge Sullivan
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: had already denied on two occasions to get a stay
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: or a delay in having to comply. Like, why would
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: the DOJ need a stay? Why would they need another pause?
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: Don't they have everything they need? Don't they know what
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: they have in their possession? Didn't they spend hours going
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: through it? Isn't that what they told us? Oh, we
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: pulled the lawyers from all different divisions and everybody went
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: through it. And these other 3 million documents, well, they're unresponsive.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: They're duplicative. And around and around we go. And I
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: know that there's like a big stink in the Senate
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: right now about getting Mr. Blanche confirmed. But I think
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: when all is said and done, he's going to get
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: that confirmation. Even if that means that Trump pulls it
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: back for a minute, waits for Tillis and Cornyn to
• 4:37
  Speaker 1: finish their term, and then goes ahead with what he
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: wanted to do. when he gets some senators in there
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: that are willing to play ball. Because we all know
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: that that's what's coming. The reason that Trump went after
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: the people he went after is because they weren't down
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: with his agenda. So he had to purge the party
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: of non-believers. And that's exactly what he did. So you
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: know whoever else comes in is probably going to play ball.
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: But instead Blanche handed over the unredacted information to Sullivan
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: to review, possibly for release to the public. Well, that's nice, huh?
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: Imagine doing what the judge tells you, like the rest
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: of us would have to. Imagine if the judge gave
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: you an order, right, after you did something wrong, or
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: you were, you know, in some kind of legal dispute,
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: and you decided just to do whatever you wanted instead.
• 5:26
  Speaker 1: How do you think the court would react? Do you
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: think they'd just shrug their shoulders and be like, ah,
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: you know, we did the best we could? Aw, shucks,
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: I guess we should just move on. Or, do you think,
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: they'd make your ass comply one way or the other?
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: whether that's you come in under your own compulsion or
• 5:44
  Speaker 1: they drag you in kicking and screaming. But I assure you,
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: you're going to have to answer for your bullshit. Jeffrey
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Epstein and his friends? Well, I guess not. Defendant Todd Blanche,
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: in his official capacity as Acting Attorney General of the
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: United States, respectfully submits the notice of compliance with the
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: order of this court dated July 25th, 2026, requiring defendants
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: submit certain documentation to the court for an in-camera review.
• 6:13
  Speaker 1: And I think that should be the bare minimum. Let
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: the judge look at it. Let him see what's going on,
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: what's up, what it contains, and if it's something that
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: the public should see. And my guess is, the public
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: should see it. When I tell you I want full transparency,
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: that's what I mean. Not partial, not some, not maybe.
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: Full transparency. Besides the names of people who were harmed,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: everybody else should be named. And if that brings you shame, good.
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: Why the fuck were you hanging out with Jeffrey Epstein
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: in the first place? Blanche and critics on social media
• 6:46
  Speaker 1: also noted that Blanche submitted hard copy documents to the
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: court's chambers via hand deliver at 2.28pm on July 30th
• 6:55
  Speaker 1: within close proximity to the day's deadline. Of course, drag
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: it out all the way to the end and hope
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: for the best. That's always been the goal. And I've
• 7:03
  Speaker 1: been telling you that from the very beginning over a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: year now. For the people that just showed up anyway.
• 7:08
  Speaker 1: For those of you who have been here for a while, well,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: I've been telling you that for seven years. But the
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: truth remains. All they want to do is run the
• 7:16
  Speaker 1: clock out. That's always been the goal. No matter the administration,
• 7:20
  Speaker 1: no matter the DOJ, or who's in charge of it,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: that's the goal. This is mutually assured destruction, okay? For
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: all the old school type of politicians, maybe not the
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: new school ones, maybe like these new Democrats that have
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: shown up, you know, DSA or whatever. They don't have
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: any ties to Epstein. And they're willing to watch the
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: whole thing burn. But up until recently, these politicians and
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: these people in power, they all knew that they had
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: friends that would be affected by this. So they weren't
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: going to bring it up. I mean, look, we have
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: Catherine Rumler. She was an advisor to Joe Biden. And
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: not only that, but she was a house counsel to
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: Barack Obama. So let's not act like this is a
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: one-way street. The problem is so deep and the rot
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: is so corrosive that it's affected the whole entire political understructure.
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: Whether that's on the right or the left, the corruption
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: and the rot runs deep. MSNOW senior legal reporter Lisa
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Rubin noted on X that of the 10 documents at issue,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: the DOJ does not identify the redacted information as pertaining
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: to a victim or law enforcement personnel. Instead, it says
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: it's just P2 or personally identifiable information. Which is wholly unacceptable.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Unless it has something to do with survivors. Sorry. And
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: the whole law enforcement personnel. How are we supposed to
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: hold anybody accountable. If we don't know who's working on
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: these cases. Like how many of these FBI agents. Went
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: on to do other things. And fuck those other things up.
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: My guess is a lot. How many of these jerk
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: off CIA agents. Running around on the internet. Had something
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: to do with Epstein. My guess is. At least some
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: of them. So the whole entire point of the EFTA.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: was so that we could find out what happened, who
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: was involved, who made decisions, who signed this, who signed that.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: But of course, we got none of that. And now
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: the DOJ wants us to believe that there is somebody
• 9:21
  Speaker 1: we can trust, that we can trust their investigation methods,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: that we can trust what they're telling us. But we don't. So,
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: once again, I'll call for it. It's time for a
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: special counsel. After Epstein, After Epstein's 2008 conviction, Trump publicly
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: distanced himself claiming he barely knew him. However, Trump's DOJ
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: has resisted transparency regarding their relationship and potential knowledge of
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: Epstein's crimes. The forced release of Epstein documents could expose communications,
• 10:17
  Speaker 1: financial records, or witness accounts implicating Trump or his associates.
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: Legal experts argue the Epstein Transparency Act mandates public disclosure,
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: and Judge Sullivan's ruling suggests courts will ultimately compel release,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: regardless of administration resistance, potentially revealing uncomfortable details about Trump's
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: decade-long association. Not just Trump, a whole lot of people. Remember,
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: Trump's not just protecting his own reputation here. He's protecting
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: the reputation of of other well-to-do people. People that might
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: be donors, people that might be friends, people that might have,
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: you know, compromise on Trump or somebody in the administration.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: And that's what they're trying to protect. And they're also
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: trying to protect the institutions. Because if they let everybody
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: know the truth about what happened with the DOJ over
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the years and Jeffrey Epstein, I think people would be
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: in the streets. That's how bad it is. That's how
• 11:13
  Speaker 1: disgusting it is. And that's how heavy these implications are.
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: And that's why the administration and the DOJ is willing
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: to fight tooth and nail to make sure you never
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: see this stuff. Unfortunately for them, we're going to keep pressing.
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: And when I say we, I mean all of us.
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: Because at some point, enough is enough. And hopefully Judge
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: Sullivan's ruling will light a fire under these dudes and
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: make them do the right thing. So we'll see what
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: he turns over. And we'll see what Judge Sullivan releases
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: to the public, if anything. And like usual, when we
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: have some more information, we'll get it added to the catalog.
• 11:47
  Speaker 1: All the information that goes with this episode can be
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: found in the description box.
