How much more money goes to Ukraine Senator, How Much More?
Have the House get it then
Because there are very prominent dems on that flight log ya think if there were republicans on the list the dems would want to hide it of course not
I bet there are plenty of deep state R’s there too. Blackburn is safe making a stink about it because she knows the Senate committee will never issue that subpoena.
The Democrats are protecting the child rapists amongst them. They are SCUM!!!
“””@SenatorDurbin BLOCKED my request to subpoena Jeffrey Epstein’s flight logs.””

Well well.
Turban Durbin.
Now we know one more name in the logs.
.
Durbin looks like a pedophile.
Limpdick Durbin is a fool.....his claim to being a great legislator is drafting legislation to make children get a license before setting up a lemonade stand.............
why does congress have a say in this and not the court which was trying him?

They convicted a lady of procuring underage girls for Epstein’s clients without releasing the names of the clients.
Why can’t Speaker Johnson subpoena these records and just RELEASE THEM?
They are all on the list!
More of that democrat transparency going on.
