U.S. Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) recently called on the Senate Judiciary Committee to issue a subpoena against the estate of Jeffrey Epstein, targeting the flight logs and passenger information of the convicted sex offender’s private airplane, known as the “Lolita Express.”
“Since we’re in the business of issuing subpoenas now, here are a few more that I filed a subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein’s estate to provide the flight logs for his private plane,” the Republican senator said at a Nov. 9 committee hearing. “Given the numerous allegations of human trafficking and sexual abuse surrounding Mr. Epstein, I think it is very important that we identify everybody that was on that plane and how many trips they took on that plane and the destinations to which they arrived.”
Blackburn insisted in a tweet that same day the American people “deserve to know the names of every person who participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s human trafficking ring.” But Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) doesn’t feel the same way, it would appear.
Taking to X on Thursday, Blackburn said that Durbin blocked her subpoena request, asking: “What are Democrats trying to hide?”
.@SenatorDurbin BLOCKED my request to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs.
What are Democrats trying to hide?

“This is a sad day in the history of the prestigious Judiciary Committee and further underscores the Left’s two tiers of justice crusade,” Blackburn said in a statement.
“Senate Democrats have long been trying to undermine the Supreme Court and Justice Clarence Thomas, but want to ignore Justice Sotomayor allegedly using her taxpayer-funded staff to coordinate speaking engagements in exchange for selling and promoting thousands of her books,” she added. “They also don’t want to have a conversation about the estate of Jeffrey Epstein to find out the names of every person who participated in Jeffrey Epstein’s human trafficking ring.”
Turns out, in the eyes of social media users, Democrats have plenty to hide… here’s a quick sampling of responses to the story, as seen on X:

What names are on this flight logs that they don’t want the populace to see? Why would anyone protect a convicted pedo’s contacts? https://t.co/7RHnPY0Q4Z

The same reason the FBI is not releasing Epstein’s client list because it would destroy the careers and lives of rich and powerful men and expose them as the pedophiles that they are.
