CALLER: I was interested in the takeover of the DC police department issue. You remember when Donald Trump sent over 1,000 FBI agents to coulter the Epstein files to make sure that his name wasn’t in there? Now, what do you suppose Donald Trump could do with the evidence locker in DC's police department?

JIMMY FAILLA: So, you’re saying he’s raiding DC to get rid of Epstein evidence?

CALLER: Well, not just that. I mean --
...
FAILLA: I guess I just want to understand your argument. You’re saying he’s sending in cops to destroy the evidence. Is that the purpose of this?

CALLER: I would smell it. I smell it right there. You know, while everybody is looking at some small town crime that he’s claiming that he’s going to stop, what’s going on behind the scenes in the evidence safes -– let's call it something even stronger than a lock-up or a locker. I mean, this whole thing stinks because imagine if Donald Trump has got every congressman in the GOP blackmailed -- well, if he's able to find out that they got 46 parking tickets or that they have a strange relationship with the neighbors. Yeah, no, who knows what crimes are going on in Washington, DC that the Washington, DC police have got evidence on. And, zip, all of the sudden it's either all gone or it becomes blackmail fodder.
