Sen. Durbin Slams Todd Blanche Over the Epstein Files: It Is Clear That Justice Is Secondary to Loyalty to the President

EXCERPT:

DURBIN: “With Mr. Blanche, it is clear that justice is secondary to loyalty to the president. Under Blanche, hundreds of FBI personnel were directed to troll through those Epstein files to find any mention of the president, but could not exercise the same level of care to ensure victims' information remained protected. When pressed in an interview why more Epstein accomplices had not been charged, Blanche insisted, quote, 'it isn't a crime to party with Mr. Epstein,' close quote. Mr. President, survivors deserve more than that type of flip comment. They deserve a DOJ committed to ensuring that it'll never happen again. They deserve an attorney general who treats them with respect and compassion. Mr. Blanche's behavior surrounding the Epstein investigation is just one of the many reasons he should not lead the Department of Justice.”
