Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin is under fire for his claims that no one has ever raised the issue of retrieving the flight logs from the late Jeffrey Epstein’s private plane. Dubbed the “Lolita Express” by the media, the jet was allegedly used by Epstein to traffic young girls.
During a 2021 trial of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell on sex trafficking charges, pilot Larry Visoski said that during the years he flew Epstein’s private jet, Bill Clinton was a passenger.
At a Nov. 9 hearing of the Senate Judiciary Committee, Republican Sen. Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee said the Senate panel should subpoena the flight logs.
On Tuesday, she publicly accused Durbin of lying by declaring on her website, “Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) falsely claimed he was not aware of Senator Marsha Blackburn’s (R-Tenn.) amendment to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs during today’s hearing with FBI Director Christopher Wray.”
To clear up the confusion, Durbin was asked by a Fox News reporter, “Why won’t you subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs?” Durbin replied, “I don’t know anything about his flight logs.” He also stated, “That’s never been raised by anyone.” and “She hasn’t said a word to me. Not a word.” Durbin then demonstrated why he didn’t seem too eager to investigate as he explained his concern of “the predators who may have flown with Epstein.”

Fox News host Jesse Watters commented, “When Sen. Marsha Blackburn, from the great state of Tennessee, tried to subpoena the flight logs of Jeffrey Epstein, we were surprised that Sen. Dick Durbin, from the great state of Illinois, was making it difficult. And why hadn’t Dick Durbin subpoenaed the flight logs himself?” Watters continued, “Why hasn’t any politician until Marsha Blackburn tried to find out who flew on the world’s most notorious child sex traffickers plane?” He questioned the shiftiness of the situation, asking, “Are these flight logs being used as blackmail?” He directly asked Durbin, “And why would Sen. Dick Durbin be running interference for a dead pedophile?”
I'm not saying tricky Dick Durbin is listed on Epstein's flight logs. But we know for a fact some friends of his are.pic.twitter.com/gHTCJ4kikn

Durbin’s unwillingness to even address Blackburn’s amendment sparked suspicion that he is actively running interference for Epstein, leaving the American public to ponder the same questions Watters asked. Was Epstein running an intelligence operation? What kind of powerful people flew on his private plane? Are the flight logs being used for blackmail? Why did Dick Durbin not bring up Blackburn’s amendment in the two hearings he presided over?
These questions remain unanswered for now, but one is certain – the pressure to figure out the truth is growing with each passing minute.
Dick wasnt named “Dick” by accident, people fit their names
