Burchett criticizes Newsmax’s coverage of Epstein probe as “trash can” shallow

Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., told Newsmax on Monday that “Congress has been compromised” in the pursuit to obtain the flight logs of dead pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s infamous “Lolita Express.” He mentioned that even some of his GOP colleagues are involved in something that’s forcing them to remain silent.

Burchett told “The Chris Salcedo Show.” that “The trash can is very deep.”

Burchett mentioned that he got involved in the effort to get the flight logs turned over when his “dear friend” Sen. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., got “snubbed” by the Senate Judiciary Committee. The chair of the committee, Illinois Democrat Dick Durbin, blocked Blackburn’s bid at issuing subpoenas for those logs.

Burchett said, “That’s why I got involved with it. [Blackburn] can handle her own. But when the Democrat-controlled Senate did that, I went to Chairman [James] Comer in the Republican-controlled House, and I said we need to fix this. This is wrong. And too many of my colleagues, I’m afraid, are compromised in this area. For whatever reason, somebody’s whispered in their ear and said, ‘Hey, you don’t want something to come out on something else, you better keep your mouth shut on this.’ And that’s exactly what they’ve done.

His comments suggest that Congress has been compromised in this area and the issue continues from the White House to the Justice Department. He commented, “The trash can is very deep. It’s not a swamp, it’s an open sewer.”
