A fired DOJ pardon attorney will also appear on the outside witness panel Thursday.

Senate Judiciary Democrats have invited Danielle Bensky, a survivor of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, to testify against acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in his quest to lead the Justice Department permanently.

Bensky will sit on a panel of outside witnesses to be convened Thursday, the day after Blanche sits for his confirmation hearing before the panel.

      They really can’t. The Dems have to resist this with EVERYTHING they have, and shame enough MAGAs to come over.

      This will be time to make some serious threats to MAGA about what is coming for them when the Dems claw back power. None of this whiney “Like the last time” bullshit, MAGAs need to hear from Democratic LEADERSHIP that the next Dem administration is going to be playing serious Hard Ball the next time. That’s not going to happen with the MAGA comedy duo of Schmuck & Jeffries, so the first thing to be done after the Midterms is to replace those two repulsively cowardly DINOs with Pitbulls.

      MAGAs with a self-preservation streak, like MTG, need to start singing from a different hymnal, if they hope to remain free in post-MAGA America. They’ll need to demonstrate some attempt at redemption BEFORE things get ugly, and not voting to approve obviously corrupt nominees is good start.

    The minority witness list will also include Liz Oyer, a former DOJ pardon attorney,

    Everybody should subscribe to her YouTube/Insta/TT/ Whatever it is, because it’s great. She highlights the most important DoJ/ Court Atrocities, including quiet but important cases that the MSM isn’t covering.

    She’s always way ahead of the curve, and she really knows what she’s talking about. I’m really glad to see her testify (she has a really cool, mellow demeanor), and I can’t wait to watch her updates.

      I stumbled upon her channel a few months ago and she has kept me updated and informed on all the legal battles, upcoming, in progress, won and lost. She is a communicator and I’m really happy to see her getting a chance to use her expertise as a witness for the hearing.
