Blanche says DOJ unable to investigate tips about Trump's involvement with Epstein

Source: The Hill

Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche said Sunday that federal investigators are unable to investigate various tips the FBI received about President Trump’s alleged involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

Blanche told host Dana Bash on CNN’s “State of the Union” that some tips were anonymous and relied on second-hand information, which he said is “not something that can be really investigated.”

Among the nearly 3 million additional documents related to the convicted sex offender the Department of Justice (DOJ) released on Friday are allegations about Trump and Epstein the FBI received as tips through its National Threat Operations Center.

Emails between DOJ staffers show that the tips were compiled as information from “Trump accusers” in August. Parts of the document show the FBI contacted many, but not all, of the initial callers, with some tipsters not leaving their information.

... or not? He tried to use that story to get a pardon or at least get an early release from prison. Is her story real or not?

You don't have to tell us her real name, just confirm that she's really a real person.

I believe Cohen met her back when Chump was running for President 1.0 because it was Cohen's job to seek out women that Chump had relations with, and make them sign NDAs. That's how he met up with Stormy Daniels, plus several others. Was "Katie Johnson" one of them? Yes or no?

investigate, make their case and prosecute. Trumps tiny thumbs would be worn down to nubs tweeting about it non stop. Once again, Trump will escape and accountability.
