'A special place in hell': New taskforce to hunt down 'scouts' who sent girls to Epstein

London: A special taskforce will be set up in Poland to investigate a network of “scouts” who recruited girls for Jeffrey Epstein from across Europe, including one contact who told him of a dancer who had come from Queensland.

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said the investigation would also examine potential ties between Epstein and Russian spy agencies amid claims the convicted sex offender gathered compromising material on people he could blackmail.

The move comes after former British cabinet minister Peter Mandelson stepped down from the House of Lords ahead of a police inquiry into documents that suggest he sent confidential government information to Epstein.

While the British scandal has highlighted Epstein’s ties with powerful business and political figures, the Polish investigation focuses on the young women who were drawn into the network and suffered abuse.

In the meantime, the EU, UK and US better be looking into possible copycat operations going on today...the criminals will be working to disguise what they are still doing in my opinion...

Just hear me out, what if he's not just in the Epstein files
But actually a part of the trafficking ring. He ran the Rump Modeling Agency and owned the Miss Teen America Pagent.
That might explain why the Pharisee Speaker of the House is trying so hard to stop information from coming out.
And we all know he’ll do anything for a buck!

Ah, yes. The Trump Modeling Agency and the Miss Teen America Pageant.
Recruiting grounds.

But here in the US the pedophiles remain in charge. Our country is rotting away.

It's for our ex-allies to step in and dig in the treasure trove of information, which one or more of them will figure out how to use against Trump.
