(NewsInsights.org) – Senate Judiciary Chair Dick Durbin (D-IL) has issued a call for subpoenas to two witnesses in the committee’s ethics inquiry into Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito. Senator Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) presented him with an interesting demand in protest. Blackburn told Durbin she had a long list if the committee wanted to issue subpoenas instead of dealing with more critical issues. Near the top, she included the flight logs for Jeffrey Epstein’s plane, salaciously known as the “Lolita Express.”
Blackburn tweeted, “The American people deserve to know the names” of those involved in Epstein’s crimes. She suggested reviewing the flight logs might assist in that investigation.
Media outlets and gossip columnists have speculated for years about all those who might have flown on Epstein’s plane. Epstein’s pilot of 26 years, Larry Visoski, revealed the names of several passengers when he testified during Ghislaine Maxwell’s trial in 2021. In fact, the flight logs became part of the public record in December 2021 when prosecutors entered the documents into evidence during the Maxwell trial. David Rodgers, another Epstein pilot, also testified and provided the logs.
Epstein, a billionaire who lived a jet-setting lifestyle among the rich, powerful, and famous, often hosted others on his plane to shared destinations, including Robert F Kennedy (RFK) Jr, Bill Gates, Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Itzhak Perlman, Kevin Spacey, former Senator John Glenn (D-OH), and former President Bill Clinton.
Clinton admitted to flying with Epstein four times but said he knew nothing about his host’s crimes. Similarly, RFK Jr recently confessed to sharing a flight in 1993 from New York to Palm Beach with his soon-to-be second wife, Mary Richardson, and his two children from his first marriage to visit his mother, Ethel Kennedy, for Easter. Yet, he had no idea that Epstein and Maxwell were committing unspeakable crimes.
