Dick Durbin \u200bfor Refusing to Subpoena Epstein&#8217;s Flight Logs<\/h2>\n<p>During an \u200bepisode \u2062of his engaging and informative \u201cVerdict\u201d podcast,\u200d Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) did not hold\u2064 back in criticizing Senate Judiciary \u2063Committee Chairman \u200bDick \u2064Durbin (D-IL) for \u200dhis \u2062refusal to subpoena convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s \u200bflight logs.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz&#8217;s remarks came after Durbin made the false claim that no one wanted to subpoena \u2062Epstein\u2019s flight logs. Cruz, along with co-host Ben Ferguson, expressed their frustration with Durbin&#8217;s statement.<\/p>\n<p>The\u200d senator \u2064went on to explain that the subpoenas targeting Harlan Crowe and Leonard Leo were part of a larger effort to harass and de-legitimize the Supreme Court, with a specific focus on Justice Clarence Thomas, \u2062whom they despise.<\/p>\n<p>Republicans, in response\u200c to \u2063this, had proposed \u2064different amendments to counter the \u2063subpoenas. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) suggested subpoenaing Epstein&#8217;s estate for the flight\u2062 logs, particularly those related to the infamous &#8220;Lolita Express&#8221; private jet that allegedly transported numerous politicians, mostly Democrats, to Epstein&#8217;s island.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz \u2064emphasized the importance of resolving this issue by subpoenaing Epstein&#8217;s flight records, stating that if any politicians, regardless of party \u2062affiliation, were involved in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/oc-sheriff-refuses-to-release-1800-dangerous-inmates-including-murderers-and-child-molesters-after-judges-order\/\" title=\"OC Sheriff Refuses to Release 1,800 Dangerous Inmates \u2013 Including Murderers and Child Molesters \u2013 After Judge\u2019s Order\">child molestation<\/a> and sexual assault, the public deserves to\u2064 know their identities.<\/p>\n<p>He further criticized \u200bthe Democrats\u2062 for their apparent panic and reluctance to vote on the matter, suggesting\u200c that Durbin could easily dispel any doubts by \u200dbringing it up for a vote and \u2064issuing the subpoena.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" aria-describedby=\"sk-tooltip-9096\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/onelink.to\/dwapp&#038;source=gmail&#038;ust=1700760801843000&#038;usg=AOvVaw2PQrVSrJfhxNb4LcARqniG\">CLICK HERE TO GET THE\u200d DAILYWIRE+ APP<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\ud83d\udea8Wow:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe only way <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SenatorDurbin?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@SenatorDurbin<\/a> \u2064could\u2062 get his votes\u2062 for the Harlan Crow and Leonard Leo subpoenas was to stop a vote on the Jeffrey Epstein subpoena.\u201d\u200c \u2013 Senator <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/tedcruz?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@TedCruz<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/JwmdDoHoxb\">pic.twitter.com\/JwmdDoHoxb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Carrie Severino (@JCNSeverino) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JCNSeverino\/status\/1734617445044764934?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 12, 2023<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Related: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/democrat-chairman-dick-durbin-claims-no-one-wants-to-subpoena-jeffrey-epsteins-flight-logs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Democrat Chairman Dick Durbin Claims No One Wants To Subpoena Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s Flight Logs<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> Should victims of sanctuary city crimes be allowed to sue those cities for \u2063damages?<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2064Lackburn\u200c (R-TN) introduced an amendment that \u2063would have required the Department \u2064of Justice \u2062to investigate the origins of funding \u200bfor left-wing \u2062organizations\u200c involved \u2062in the violence \u200bduring the \u2064protests last summer. Sen. Ted Cruz \u200d(R-TX) introduced an amendment that would have allowed victims of sanctuary\u2064 city crimes to sue \u200cthose\u2062 cities for\u2063 damages. Despite these efforts, Durbin and his Democratic colleagues \u2063refused to support any amendments\u2063 proposed by Republicans.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz&#8217;s criticism of Durbin is justified, as the subpoenaing of Epstein&#8217;s flight logs is crucial to uncovering the \u200bextent of his illegal activities and potentially bringing justice for his victims.\u200c Epstein was a\u2064 wealthy and well-connected individual who allegedly operated a massive sex \u200dtrafficking ring involving underage girls. His flights \u2063logs could potentially reveal the \u2064names of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-trips-on-air-force-one-just-hours-after-report-says-his-team-was-trying-to-prevent-just-that\/\" title=\"Biden stumbles on Air Force One despite efforts to avoid it.\">powerful\u2064 individuals<\/a> who were involved in his criminal activities.<\/p>\n<p>By \u2064refusing to subpoena the flight logs,\u200b Durbin is\u200b hindering the investigation into\u200d Epstein&#8217;s crimes and protecting those \u200dwho\u2062 may\u200c have been complicit in\u2062 his\u2064 illegal activities. This is\u200c not \u2063only a disservice to the victims\u200c of \u2063Epstein&#8217;s abuse\u200c but also to the American \u2064public, who deserve to know the truth about who was \u200dinvolved\u200b in this\u2062 heinous operation.<\/p>\n<p>Cruz and Ferguson&#8217;s frustration \u200dwith Durbin&#8217;s statement is understandable. It is disappointing to see a Senate\u2063 Judiciary\u200b Committee Chairman\u2063 dismiss the importance of investigating such a high-profile \u2063and disturbing case. It raises questions about Durbin&#8217;s commitment to justice \u2063and\u2063 his willingness to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/questions-raised-over-whether-pres-biden-would-pardon-son\/\" title=\"Is President Biden considering pardoning his son?\">hold powerful individuals accountable<\/a> for their actions.<\/p>\n<p>The Epstein case is not one that should be swept under the rug or ignored. It is an opportunity to\u200d expose corruption and bring justice \u200cto\u200c the victims. The flight \u2062logs are a crucial piece of\u200d evidence that\u200c could shed light on the extent of Epstein&#8217;s\u200d network and potentially implicate others who \u200cwere involved\u2064 in\u200c his\u2064 crimes.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. Ted Cruz should be commended for \u200bcalling out Durbin&#8217;s refusal to subpoena Epstein&#8217;s flight logs. \u2062It \u200ctakes courage\u2062 to speak \u2064out \u200cagainst fellow\u200d colleagues, \u200cparticularly in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/speaker-johnsons-honeymoon-phase-comes-to-an-end-as-spending-bill-progress-hits-a-snag\/\" title=\"Speaker Johnson's honeymoon ends as spending bill progress stalls.\">highly polarized \u2064political climate<\/a>. Cruz&#8217;s \u200bdetermination to seek the truth and \u200dhold those responsible accountable is commendable.<\/p>\n<p>This incident\u2064 highlights \u2064the need for transparency and accountability in our justice system. It is crucial that investigations into <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/supreme-court-will-hear-boston-marathon-bomber-execution-case\/\" title=\"Supreme Court Will Hear Boston Marathon Bomber Execution Case\">high-profile cases<\/a> like Epstein&#8217;s \u2062are handled with the utmost seriousness and integrity. The American people deserve to have confidence in their elected officials\u200d and trust that justice will be served.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, it is essential that Durbin and \u2062his\u2063 Democratic colleagues \u2062recognize the significance of \u2063subpoenaing Epstein&#8217;s\u2064 flight logs and take the necessary steps to facilitate\u200c a thorough\u2063 investigation.
