Epstein/Maxwell/Prin ce Andrew

So who to believe, the FBI or PA? The truth probably lies, as always, somewhere in the middle, but I can't see PA flying out to the USA anytime soon to settle it once and for all.

I thought that as well Riverwalk No way to wriggle out of that.

And further in the interest of accuracy

The FBI are denying that to be the case

In the interests of accuracy:
'In June, the Duke's lawyers said he had offered to speak to the investigators "on at last three occasions this year", accusing them of "seeking publicity rather than accepting the assistance proffered". A source close to the Duke last night said: " the Duke's team remains bewildered given that we have twice communicated with the Department of Justice in the last month and to date, we have had no response."

Two bags for me please WW

Directly involved as in, not having sex with young girls?

Or just happened to be staying in Epstein’s house with young girls in it?

Funny that!

It's unfortunate for Andrew that these past few years he's emphasised that he was close friends with Maxwell rather than Epstein!

Having watched the program on Netflix a few weeks ago we both felt Maxwell was far from innocent in the whole disturbing saga so not surprising she's finally been charged. Also wondered about the convenient 'suicide' too.

It remains to be seen whether Prince Andrew is made to testify - he can't possibly have been totally ignorant about what was going on even if he wasn't directly involved!

? this is going to run and run isn’t it?

I bet they are frantically trying to put as many obstacles and lids on it as they can possibly think of.

Anyone seen the Windsor bod lately?

I doubt it takes much to bewilder this not very bright mummy’s boy does it?

Just said on the breakfast news that Prince Andrew is ‘bewildered’ about claims he hasn’t co-operated with the FBI or whoever over all this.

Lovely word ‘bewildered’.

Popcorn anyone?

I reckon she'll be prepared to drag anyone and everyone in if she thinks it will lighten her sentence. Wouldn't mind betting that there are a few other people who are feeling very nervous tonight.

Oh I see, I was thinking of a lighter sentence if she spilled the beans.

Plea bargain? Do they do that in USA

Yes, they do WWMK2; there are 3 types of plea bargaining in the USA.

In charge bargaining, the defendant agrees to plead guilty to reduced charges (e.g., aggravated assault rather than attempted murder).

Sentence bargaining involves assurances of lighter or alternative sentences in return for a defendant’s pleading guilty. One of the most visible forms of sentence bargaining occurs when defendants plead guilty to murder in order to avoid the death penalty. Sentence bargains also occur in less-serious cases, such as pleading guilty to a charge in exchange for a sentence of “time served,” which generally means that the defendant will be immediately released.

The third type of plea negotiation is count bargaining, in which defendants who face multiple charges may be allowed to plead guilty to fewer counts. The charges need not be identical: the prosecutor may drop any charge or charges in exchange for a guilty plea on the remaining charges. Because count bargaining applies only to defendants who face multiple charges, it is the least common form of bargaining.

There some sick people in this world!

Charged with grooming young girls for Epstein and friends.

Plea bargain? Do they do that in USA?

She may spill the beans in exchange for a lighter sentence
A lot of people will be shaking in their boots including Prince Andrew
Or she may commit a very convenient suicide?

Could have been suicide but on the other hand he could have been made to shut up. I've always been in two minds about his death.

It’s politics, UK, France, Australia, America and perhaps other
countries.

What do you mean ?

It is very unlikely that Epstein’s close friends , Andrew and Maxwell knew nothing at all about his personal life.
Or perhaps they just played board games when they socialised with him.

It’s politics, UK, France, Australia, America and perhaps other
countries.

I haven't read anything in great detail but I'd say it was suicide.

The alleged falsification of records and broken cameras are likely to be the staff on duty not performing regular checks on him, so trying to cover their tracks. Rather like here when we have medical staff re-writing notes after someone has died due to neglect.

Sounds like it happened in the early hours, when people are at their lowest, and night staff at their sleepiest.

Bet Andrew is really sweating this time?

Finally she has been apprehended. Not little miss innocence. Let’s hope they get plenty of info out of her.
