Blaine Mayer

Blaine Mayer was a Senator who, during Day 7, conducted an investigation of human rights violations committed by the disbanded Counter Terrorist Unit in Washington, DC.

Day 7
On the third day of his televised investigation, Senator Mayer called Jack Bauer as a witness to address the issue of torture committed at CTU. He advised Bauer to find legal representation for his own benefit, but Bauer refused. When Jack prompted him to begin with the questions, Senator Mayer began to grill him about Ibrahim Haddad, a terrorist whom Jack had tortured in 2002. Jack defended his actions, and skirted the question of the law by noting it was his duty to adapt to the terrorists' methods. Senator Mayer was surprised when Jack called his investigation an "agenda" and later pointed out the smug grin on his face. The questioning was interrupted by FBI Special Agent Renee Walker, who had a more urgent subpoena for Bauer. Senator Mayer excused Jack to the FBI, but ordered that he return the following day to fulfill the senatorial subpoena.

Among the others on the eight-senator panel were James Gilbert and Richard Horton.
