Jesse Watters Nails Dick Durbin In Epstein Cover-Up
The Democratic desire to keep deceased pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs out of the public eye is on full display. Fox News’ Jesse Watters recently scolded Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) for repeated inconsistencies over the explosive issue.
The impetus came from Sen. Marsha Blackburn’s (R-TN) quest to reveal the secrets of the “Lolita Express.” Her request last month for a subpoena for the flight logs was soundly rejected by Durbin, leading to a second attempt that was likewise derailed.
Enter Watters, who pointedly asked why Durbin would blockade Blackburn’s efforts. His office lamely replied that they did not have time to consider her question.
On Tuesday, Blackburn used a Judiciary Committee hearing to question FBI Director Christopher Wray on why the bureau did not pursue cases related to Epstein’s misdeeds. All that was revealed during Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial was a heavily redacted flight log.
When confronted, Wray gave what the senator described as a “non-answer.” She rightly declared that the American people need to see every name associated with that list.
Watters also persisted, sending reporter Hillary Vaughn to question Durbin on why he protected the logs. Incredibly, the senator answered that this was the first time the issue had been raised to him.
When Vaughn noted that Blackburn led the Senate crusade to put the logs into the public eye, Durbin doubled down. “It’s the first time anyone has raised it. Thank you, Fox.”
Watters further pointed out that Blackburn directly addressed Wray about the hidden flight logs in the Nov. 9 hearing. So much for plausible deniability — the FBI director simply did not tell the truth.
As for Durbin, he dug in his heels and denied being exposed to questions over Epstein and his well-connected friends. During a recent Judiciary Committee hearing, Blackburn rebuked him for refusing to admit that he presided over a meeting where the subject was addressed.
Blackburn described subpoenas she filed “to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate to provide the flight logs for his private plane. Given the number of allegations of human trafficking…surrounding Mr. Epstein, we’ve got to identify everyone who could have participated in his horrific conduct.”
One thing is proven by such disparate incidents as the Nashville elementary school shooting and Epstein’s grotesque private island. Authorities regularly decide to block access to details the public has every right to know.
In Epstein’s case, someone is clearly being protected.
