Surrey Police find no evidence that alleged rape outside a church in Epsom took place as reported (CCTV doesn't corroborate etc), but are sill investigating. share.google/kBAkS68MAspN...

1) Who made up & spread false information?

Also, hoping the lady who says Obama is guilty of treason, the guy who thinks Trump is Jesus, the lady sleeping with her security detail and who drinks on the job, and the guy who harvests raccoon penises will vote the president mentally unfit for office doesn't seem like the soundest strategy.
