What's up everyone? And welcome to another episode of the Epstein Chronicles. Well, I know this is going to shock a lot of people out there, but the Trump Justice Department is running roadblocks when it comes to the UK getting information about Prince Andrew and Jeffrey Epstein. And according to new reports coming out of the uk, due to this roadblock, they might not be able to bring their case or charges or even decide on those charges before 2027. And in my opinion, the whole entire point is to obfuscate to keep this going long enough that Trump's out of office. And that's the plan of the administration to kick the can down the road and make it somebody else's problem. Because if they think this is going away because Donald Trump and his supporters, who are here temporarily, by the way, you know, elections happen all the time. If they think that this is going to go away because they wanted to, they're wrong. Eventually there's going to be new leadership and there's going to be a fresh look and I hope at that time a special counsel's appointed and every single person that was part of this cover up gets exactly what's coming to them, legally speaking, because that's what everybody deserves. You want to cover up this bullshit? Cool. You might not have been involved with Epstein, but you're certainly involved in covering up the crimes now. And just like in Watergate, it's the COVID up, stupid, not the actual crime. Today's article is from the Daily Mail and the headline andrew Detective probing his links with Jeffrey Epstein are being frustrated by the U.S. department of justice and won't be able to decide on charges before 2027. This article was authored by Elizabeth Hay. Detectives probing Andrew Mountbatten Windsor's links to Jeffrey Epstein are being frustrated by the U.S. department of justice and won't be able to send the case to the CPS to decide on any charges. Before 2027. All by design. I hate to say it, but it's true. If the Justice Department wanted to help out, they would. But they know that Prince Andrew has the goods. And I have a funny feeling that if Prince Andrew is facing decades in prison, buddy's gonna have a lot to say. And who the knows that? What kind of wild is going to come out of his mouth? So I'm sure there's people over here in the DOJ that want to protect their guys, you know, the Epstein administration. So they don't want to turn this information over to the UK because then it's out of their control, out of their hands. Once they give the information to the uk, it's not up to them anymore. And God forbid they cede power. Police are said to be struggling following his arrest in February on suspicion of misconduct in public office, in part because they're not yet to receive any help from American investigators. So pathetic. But expected, especially after what happened in Iran. I mean, you had Keira Starmer thumbing his nose at Donald Trump. You thought that Donald Trump wasn't going to get some get back. Mr. Petty himself, of course he's going to get some get back. And if that means smothering the Epstein story a little bit more at the same time, all the better. Andrew was detained after details about his friendship with pedophile Epstein were revealed in documents released by the US Government. Emails appear to show that the former Duke of York passed reports of official visits to countries including Singapore and Vietnam as part of his role as UK trade envoy to Epstein. But Thames Valley police this week confirmed it's holding a wider probe into other allegations against Andrew and appealing for anyone with information to come forward. And I've heard that plenty of people are coming forward now. I don't know what kind of tangible evidence they're going to provide, but the fact that people are coming forward is a big deal. And once the dam breaks, then that's when we usually get a bunch of allegations come tumbling in. And I think we're getting close to that point when it comes to Andrew. The force is said to be concerned about a public perception that only the alleged sharing of official information with Epstein is being investigated and only misconduct involving the state rather than individuals. As part of this, it stressed it's also looking into a claim that a woman was brought to the UK to have sex with Andrew. Virginia. And we also know about the massage therapists that were sneaked into Buckingham Palace. With such a wide scope, the investigation could take up to two years. The CPS is not expected to be able to bring any charges before 2027. And look, that's to be expected. Do your due diligence, look for evidence, make sure you have all your ducks in a row and make sure you have the right people on the job. That's what they should be doing. This isn't the kind of investigation that you put a rush on, right? You have to be very meticulous, you're dealing with very powerful people and you know that they're going to find a way or try to find a way to wiggle off the hook. So you have to come correct and you have to make sure you have all the evidence that you could possibly have. And I hope that's what's going on in the uk, but it's going to be hard for that to occur if America doesn't play ball. Misconduct in public office is a notoriously difficult charge to prove, but can encompass anything from sexual misconduct to corruption, dishonesty and improper influence. And it carries a maximum life sentence in prison. I don't think that's going to happen. Life sentence, doubtful. But I think Prince Andrew is in the most serious jeopardy he's ever been in. And I think that if the UK authorities do their due diligence, we might see Prince Andrew behind bars. And if you would have told me that five years ago, I would have told you that you were smoking dope, but here we are. And it's the persistence of people like you that have led us to this place. Investigators must find evidence that Andrew deliberately acted in a way that he knew was wrong while holding public office or that he acted with willful neglect. I don't think that's difficult. I mean, we saw in those emails it was obviously neglectful and he knew what he was doing. Question is, can they prove it? A key part of detectives investigation rest on obtaining unredacted copies of the emails released in the Epstein files from the Department of Justice. They have had to make a formal request to access the emails with the originals needed to launch any prosecution. Under a legal agreement between Britain and the United States, the process used to try and obtain the documents takes around a year and there's no guarantee that they will be released. So far it's understood no such files have been shared with the Thames Valley Police. Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic. Tell me there's not a cover up going on and tell me that that cover up isn't being directed from the White House. Earlier this year, the head of Met Police, Sir Mark Raleigh, traveled to Washington himself to press for the release of unredacted exchanges between Epstein and Peter Mandelson. Mandelson was also previously arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office for his contact with the pedophile while in government. Both Andrew and Mandelson deny any wrongdoing. It comes as the force issued a major update in their investigation this week and said officers were broadening the probe to, amongst other matters, look into sexual misconduct and corruption. And that's how it works. This is what I speculated when the case was first brought, that they'd broaden it. They always do. And if he gets indicted, look for a superseded indictment. Because once they have you, they have you. And once they start digging into your life, they're going to find a bunch of that they can charge you with, especially when you're as corrupt as Prince Andrew. Police seized evidence and raids of Andrew's former home at Royal Lodge Windsor and his new property on the Sandringham Estate in Norfolk, which officers are now said to be carefully working through. And who the fuck knows what kind of evidence they grabbed? I mean, videos, phones, books, who knows? Officers have already conducted interviews with multiple witnesses and have appealed for victim survivors to come forward. They've already been in touch with the Crown Prosecution Service for early investigative advice, a practice common and complex and serious investigations. The force said it was still assessing reports that a woman in her 20s was sent by Epstein to the UK to have sex with Andrew in 2010. That's human trafficking. Even if she's over age. Do people not understand that you had all these women and girls from all these different countries being trafficked, being sent to people like Andrew? And I don't think there's any doubt about that at this point. Plenty of evidence backing it up

She is said to have spent the night with the then Prince at Royal Lodge before later having tea and being given a tour of Buckingham Palace. She's the only Epstein accuser who who says she slept with Andrew at a Royal residence. Detectives have spoken to lawyer Brad Edwards for the alleged victim who has not been identified, but officers are yet to carry out interviews because she has not made a formal complaint to the police. In an interview with the Daily Mail earlier this year, Mr. Edwards said of his client, she was severely exploited by Jeffrey Epstein. An extension of that was the exploitation of of her by Prince Andrew. She's a strong person. She wants to believe in justice but it's very difficult in light of what she knows. We need some cooperation and we need somebody with a conscience and a real desire to make things right. Yeah, good luck, good luck finding that. We're in short supply of that. Mr. Edwards represents more than 200 victims of Epstein and previously called for the palace to sit down with his clients to discuss her allegations. Meanwhile, the family of Virginia Roberts, who was also alleged that to been trafficked to the UK by Epstein for sex with Andrew, said the police update is huge and it gives them hope. Speaking to Sky News on Friday, Ms. Roberts sister in law Amanda Roberts said, I think initially it's very encouraging. You know, initially it was only we were hearing that it was going to be investigations of conduct like sharing government information and to hear that potential of investigating sexual crimes, that that's huge. It's more than we're seeing here in this country and that actually gives us hope. That's true and it's pathetic, but it's true and that's why I'm calling for these states to get more active. New York, Florida, New Mexico, everywhere that Epstein was needs to get active at a local level and if crimes were committed in your state, you can go after these people. Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said the force had assembled A dedicated team of its most experienced specialist investigators, which include detectives experienced in investigating serious sexual attacks and financial experts. He confirmed that they had spoken to a number of witnesses, but said he hopes others will come forward to shed light on Andrew's relationship with the pedophile. I really want to stress that our door is open whenever a victim survivor is ready to engage with us. We're ready for you at whatever point that may be, the Assistant Chief Constable said. In terms of Epstein's victims and survivors, we hope that anyone with relevant information will come forward. Describing progress in the investigation, he said, we have been working really closely with the Department of Justice office in the U. S, seeking further information that may be related to this investigation. We have also been working really closely with cps. There's a number of aspects of alleged misconduct, the that the investigation is examining, so we're speaking with a range of witnesses. We do really want to get the message across that we're encouraging anyone with information to get in touch with us. He warned that the inquiry could take months before detectives are ready to submit a file of evidence to the CPS to consider whether to bring criminal charges. The senior officer added, the investigation is by necessity hugely thorough and. And will take time. We're proceeding with real care and caution. The update came just days after the release of new documents on Thursday relating to Andrew's appointment as trade envoy. They revealed that the Queen was very keen for her son to take a prominent role in the promotion of national interest when her cousin, the Duke of Kent, stepped down from the role. The Queen was right in the mix when it comes to defending Prince Andrew and making sure that he was enabled this whole entire time. Now, I'm not willing to say that she knew exactly what he was up to, but I'm not going to say she didn't know either, because it would be very difficult for me to believe that the Queen's people, her council, everyone around her isn't going to tell her, look, there's some smoke here. And not only is there some smoke, there's some fire. So I think the Queen had a blind spot for Andrew and I think that she was willing to overlook everything he was up to, even though it brought great shame to the family. Andrew had a preference for missions to sophisticated countries, but should not be burdened with the meetings and paperwork associated with the role the files released by the government showed. So, in other words, I'm not coming to any of these third world countries. I only want to go where I can pick pilfer money from rich people basically what he's saying. The 15 page document was published following pressure from MPs. Detectives are also speaking to officials in the Cabinet Office and Buckingham palace, which has previously released a statement confirming staff stand ready to support the police. So look, the investigation into Andrew continues and not only that, but it's growing. And right now the one thing holding it back is, is the Trump administration and their refusal to play ball. So now we wait, we wait for the process to make its way through the courts and then we wait to see, even if ordered to do so, if the Trump administration provides the UK authorities with what they're looking for. I mean, considering how they've treated the Epstein files release here in America, you know, they're going to drag their feet. So we'll have to see what's what and we'll have to see what the court says. Now that the court looks like they're going to get involved.
