[QUOTE="ThxOne, post: 8921104, member: 675210"] Weird that it was being "investigated" for five+ years until the right brought it up. So you are telling us the left knew of the Somali fraud for 5+ years as they "investigated" it all the while still feeding money into the fraud. If there was ANYTHING they left could have used against Trump with the Epstein files they would have already tried it... But... In 2007, Jeffrey Epstein was primarily "called out" through local law enforcement investigations and a lawsuit that highlighted his abuse of minors in Florida, despite subsequently securing a lenient plea deal that year . Key parties involved in investigating or calling out Epstein in 2007 included: [LIST] [*][B]Palm Beach Police Department (PBPD):[/B] The PBPD continued to pursue the case throughout 2007 after bringing the initial case to the State Attorney's office in 2005-2006.
