Only the most die-hard Donald Trump loyalist could watch Dani Bensky’s testimony at Todd Blanche’s confirmation hearing and still think Trump’s lawyer should be confirmed as attorney general for all Americans.
Blanche “has been at the helm of the release of nude images of survivors, the outing of Jane Does, and the exposure of more than 100 victims’ identifying information and documents describing horrific acts of abuse, including my own,” Bensky said. Bensky, a teacher, said that if a student in her school had released such material, they would almost certainly face expulsion.
Blanche, now the acting attorney general, was the person completely in charge of the release of the Epstein files, according to Pam Bondi, the previous attorney general.
Apparently, Blanche was so preoccupied with protecting and redacting the names of potential defendants and co-conspirators that he could not be bothered with protecting the victims. Or worse.
Bensky testified that victims’ attorneys asked the DOJ to redact 350 victims’ names before the first document release. Yet she said she found her name in two places in that December release.
