Prince Andrew

[Psamathe]

There are calls from the US for Andrew to reveal all.

He's done enough of that, surely?

Not a lot of point in him "giving evidence" - he's already shown on multiple occasions he lies to try and vindicate himself and/or protect others so could the believe anything he says?

He's already demonstrated his attitude to the victims so will he tell all about people who he regards friends or would he actually start helping uncover the extent of the abuse? Where does his self-interest lie as that is all he'll consider (and "truth" seems irrelevant to him).

 

[Psamathe]

And we need to remember, after Epstein had pleaded and been found guilty in court for "soliciting prostitution from someone under the age of 18" and served a prison sentence (then Prince) Andrew was still looking forward to “We’ll play some more soon!!!!”

Could the US offer him some sort of plea deal to start naming names?

More likely a plea deal to not name names.

I think the thing to remember is that it is the Democrats, (and a handful of Republicans), who are pushing for full release of the Epstein papers. But it is the MAGA Republicans, or those who are prepared to bend the knee to the orange rapist, who are (currently) holding the; Presidency, House, Senate, Supreme Court and of course the Epstein papers.
And as recent events with 'Tish James, Jim Comey and John Bolton have shown, the Department of Justice has now been weaponised.

Oh, the DoJ would just love a foreign scapegoat!
Don't hold your breath though.

They probably don't want to go prosecuting a (former) royal, given they've now got their own royal family, which they have elevated above the law.

Meh, I think they’d be quite happy to point the finger at someone not them and say there you go, finished. Especially one outcast by Kingy.

So, he’s Andrew Mountbatten Windsor now is he?

Bit of a mouthful that.

As Virginia used to say.

You realise you're talking about a woman who killed herself, right?

So; the (expected) drip-drip-drip of stories over Randy Andy's finances begins.

Further proof, if any were needed, that Fergie was/is little more than a money grabbing parasite.

It's quite interesting how people like Andrew, Fergie, and Peter Mandelson continue to seek money and status long after they are comfortably off. You could just live quietly and enjoy your money but they chase dodgy deals and famous friends, and cling like limpets to the likes of Epstein who I guess could give them the next level up of what they already had. It's never enough for some people.

Gotta keep up with the Jones's.

But that seems to be the case with most people with more wealth than they could spend in hundreds of lifetimes: despite their wealth, they still want more... for what?

Ultimately they are hollow, sad people, who will never be contented, as accumulating unspendable wealth is their only goal, and they will never have enough. If they weren't the cause of penury and misery of so many people, they might almost deserve our pity.

Some people seem to have a gaping hole in their psyche that can never be filled. Trump's another one. They can do enormous damage.

I'm glad I'm not made that way. All I need is a roof over my head, a few good people, good food and loads of bikes. Perfectly normal.

He (Andrew) is still 8th inline to the throne even after the events of the last few days. They haven't taken that from him (still trying to avoid complete action).

And he will still be living under the protection (financial, security, etc.) of the King.

"All our lives the system all decides
The institution's old
But still in control
Nothing in the chambers
Worth nothing at all
All the wealth is hidden
Diamonds a-glisten
And solid gold, we'll have it all
It's worthless"
