Andrew arrested for a treasonable offense. Time to arrest Trump.
Sexual abuse charges still to come for former prince, but life in prison is possible on these offenses alone.
The announcement on the Thames Valley Police website is terse and to the point.
Thames Valley Police has opened an investigation into the offence of misconduct in public office. As part of the investigation, we have today (19/2), at approximately 8am, arrested a man in his sixties from Norfolk on suspicion of misconduct in public office and are carrying out searches at addresses in Berkshire and Norfolk. …
Assistant Chief Constable Oliver Wright said: “Following a thorough assessment, we have now opened an investigation into this allegation of misconduct in public office.”
Notes to Editors
In UK law, an arrest requires police to have reasonable grounds to suspect an offence has taken place and reasonable grounds for believing that it is necessary to arrest the person in question. … Thames Valley Police will not be making any further statement at this time and will not be holding a press conference or conducting any media interviews in relation to this investigation.
This is not an arrest in response to the endless accusations against Andrew for the sexual abuse of minors and participation in a known sexual-trafficking cult run by Jeffrey Epstein. Neither it is an attribution of suspicion of involvement in Epstein’s use of trafficking pedophilia in the control of powerful international figures by threats of extortion.
Instead, this is about how Andrew misused his position as trade envoy for the UK, from 2001 - 2011, in a way that is, in fact, treason.
Found in the tranche of Epstein records we have had to squeeze out of Pam Bondi by sheer force of public will, is a damning series of emails showing Andrew forwarding privileged UK state information to Epstein.
CBS News summarizes the information in the Epstein files in relation to this crime as follows:
One email thread shows that after he traveled to Asia, on Nov. 30, 2010, Mountbatten-Windsor forwarded official reports on his visits, sent to him by his then-special adviser Amit Patel, to Epstein, just minutes after he received them. There was no message from the then-prince to Epstein accompanying the forwarded message.
Another email exchange between the men the following month appears to show Mountbatten-Windsor sharing files he describes as “a confidential brief” on potential investment opportunities in southern Afghanistan, where British forces were based at the time.
If Andrew is found guilty of having done this, the penalty is life in prison, and King Charles—who’s been furious over this stuff for a decade while Queen Elizabeth II covered for her favorite son with the rest of the family until she was forced to limit his activities in 2019—is now openly throwing his brother to the wolves, which, in fact, Andrew richly deserves.
NBC New reports:
[King] Charles [III] said there must be a “full, fair and proper” investigation into Mountbatten-Windsor. …
“Let me state clearly: the law must take its course,” Charles said, adding that the investigation would have “our full and wholehearted support and co-operation.” Meanwhile, he added, “my family and I will continue in our duty and service to you all. Charles R.”
Charles may try to distance the royal family from this disaster, but it could mean the end of the 1,000-year Windsor dynasty if not the monarchy altogether. In 1983, 85% of Britons felt the royal family was integral to British identity. Last year the percentage had dropped to just over half, at 51%.
Note above that the Thames Valley Police do NOT make an arrest in these matters unless they’re virtually certain they can get a conviction.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor has been released on bail.
Still to come, possibly, will be charges against Mandelson, who lied to British Prime Minister Kier Starmer about his involvement with Epstein, and Starmer believed him, only to be proved wrong by the Epstein files. Meanwhile, Starmer has called on the crown to force Andrew to testify in the United States against Epstein associates.
And that brings us to …
In the Epstein files, Trump is mentioned 1,100 times more frequently than Andrew …
P.S. Ghislaine sent a message to Trump last week telling him to hose down Pam Bondi before she destroys everyone.
‘Nuff said.
Thank you.
