"Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office by police investigating the former prince’s dealings with the convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

"It also underscored a striking contrast in the official responses to the Epstein files. The British authorities have moved aggressively to investigate the possibility of crimes emerging from the three million pages of correspondence with Mr. Epstein, while police in the United States have not."

"Striking contrast indeed. The US 'Justice' Department can’t even be bothered to take a meeting with Epstein victims, and the leader of the FBI apparently hasn’t met an investigation he can’t fuck up, he’s so incompetent.

Meanwhile, King Charles is committed to accountability for this star of the Epstein Files who happens to be his brother."

Why did ABC and FOX News both bury evidence they got back in 2020 from Epstein's Manhatten housekeeper?

"The arrest of the former Prince Andrew raises an issue that goes way beyond protesting and marching. King Trump was evidently involved in Jeffrey Epstein’s nefarious doings. We don’t know exactly how because there’s been no criminal investigation. But shouldn’t there be? ...

If the U.K. can arrest the former Prince Andrew on evidence of such wrongdoing, why shouldn’t America arrest King Trump?"

I'm glad Prince Andrew has been charged. But it's all smoke & mirrors; he'll never do time let alone be found guilty and once he's been declared innocent it'll be official and any media that says otherwise will get sued into perdition. But it may make harder for the Far Right to raise the next three generations of monarchists, so that's good news.

@Kruku We'll see, won't we?

@wdlindsy
I'll be crossing my fingers. To be honest I'd be happy with the Judge "discharging the jury" after a "hung jury" or even better decides to "drop the case" would be good. At least that way journalists will still be able to talk about him without getting sued.

@wdlindsy This is also an excellent post from him:

As the Epstein files continue to trickle out, we see that the depravity of the ruling class—the same sort of men of power and wealth who populate Justine—is no less depraved for happening two centuries later, during the fall of the United States rather than the fall of France.

@CdnCurmudgeon Thank you. I love his commentary.

Wow !

"misconduct in public office carries a maximum sentence of life imprisonment."

UK don't try to evade the scandal. They seem to want to *drain the swamp*, and really take it seriously

rainbowfrog@mastodon.top

@wdlindsy

Seems more and more that Epstein's sexual crimes were only the tip of the iceberg, and that he engaged in much more financial, blackmail, information, spying and influence and trafficking, that could shatter the whole world

Which would certainly explain why DJT is ready to do anything to cover it up

"While courts in other nations act decisively against leaders accused of undermining democratic norms, American institutions have been held hostage by protection rackets keeping those involved in criminality free from accountability. We must keep fighting to change that."

@wdlindsy To be sure, that is missing in the UK also. Andrew was arrested for passing on government documents. Amazing how governments spring into action when they have been wronged, vs. young women... Sigh.
