Andrew Declined to Cooperate With FBI Probe While UK Government Feared Legal Fallout · The Epstein Chronicles

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: What's up everyone, and welcome to another episode of the
• 0:03
  Epstein Chronicles. Imagine being the UK government and scared that
• 0:09
  Prince Andrew's bitch ass is going to sue you if
• 0:11
  you assist the FBI in getting him to sit down
• 0:15
  for some questions. Talk about embarrassing, and talk about an embarrassment.
• 0:20
  And this was all done because the Queen was so
• 0:23
  adamant on protecting Prince Andrew, and she went to great
• 0:26
  lengths to do so, even putting the whole monarchy in jeopardy.
• 0:31
  And when you talk about the Queen, there's no doubt
• 0:34
  that she has a legacy right, a legacy to be
• 0:35
  proud of for the Brits. A lot of people love
• 0:38
  her over there. But when you look at it with
• 0:41
  an hdview, for me anyway, the thing that stands out
• 0:45
  is how she protected Andrew to the very end and
• 0:48
  how that could end up being the straw that breaks
• 0:51
  the proverbial camel's back when it comes to the monarchy. Now, look,
• 0:55
  I understand wanting to defend your kid. I'd want to
• 0:58
  do the same thing just about any crime, to be
• 1:01
  honest with you, any crime, But this if my son
• 1:05
  got in trouble for doing what Prince Andrew was accused
• 1:09
  of doing. You wouldn't have to worry about the cops,
• 1:12
  even if you were a grown ass man. It would
• 1:14
  be belt to ask time and then I'll take you
• 1:17
  to the police station and turn you over myself. There
• 1:21
  are some things you can't come back from. Some crimes
• 1:24
  are not redeemable. And for me, when you hurt children,
• 1:28
  when you hurt the defenseless, when you hurt the vulnerable,
• 1:31
  those are the crimes that you cannot come back from.
• 1:35
  Somebody committed fraud, somebody was a drug dealer. Look, I
• 1:38
  get it, man, People make bad decisions. Shit happens. I'm
• 1:42
  not somebody that holds someone's past against them. But when
• 1:45
  we're talking about the shit that these pieces of garbage
• 1:48
  were up to, and the fact that they were treating
• 1:50
  vulnerable girls like Chattel, it's non negotiable. People like that
• 1:54
  need to go to prison forever. And you're lucky. I'm
• 1:58
  just saying prison because if I had mine and you
• 2:00
  were convicted a shit like this, helicopters, volcanoes go pro
• 2:06
  attached to you, live on pay per view, all the
• 2:08
  money to the victim's family, The thought of my tax
• 2:11
  dollars going to make Laine Maxwell have a better life
• 2:14
  while she's in prison literally sickens me. And the fact
• 2:17
  that the UK government who didn't have the stones to
• 2:20
  go after Andrew, well, I'm pretty sure that there's a
• 2:23
  lot of people in the UK who are pretty sick
• 2:26
  right now as well. Today's article is from the Irish
• 2:30
  Son and the headline Andrew turning down FBI's Epstein interview
• 2:34
  request sparked government fears he would sue if he was questioned.
• 2:38
  New doc show. Imagine having that kind of power. The
• 2:41
  government fears that you're going to sue them, so they
• 2:43
  don't even question you about a crime. Talk about a dream,
• 2:46
  come Drew. This article was authored by Julia Atherlee. Officials
• 2:53
  at the Home Office voice concerns that the former Prints
• 2:56
  could launch legal action at the High Court if they
• 2:58
  helped the FBI to summon them to testify. According to
• 3:01
  emails in the Epstein files, I don't even know what
• 3:05
  to say about that, Honestly, I want to have a
• 3:07
  bunch of smart ass comments for it, but it's just
• 3:10
  gross and it really just shines a light on this
• 3:14
  two tiered system that we live in. People like Prince
• 3:16
  Andrew whore afforded great rights, they're given everything, they're provided
• 3:22
  in education, they're provided money, they're provided a future, all
• 3:25
  on the back of the taxpayer. And it's not good enough.
• 3:28
  He needs more. I'm still greedy. I need a little
• 3:31
  bit more. Let me see what Epstein's up to. Maybe
• 3:33
  I can get a little bit more from him. And
• 3:35
  on and on it goes, and there's never accountability. Even now. Oh,
• 3:39
  sure Prince Andrew's embarrassed, he's exiled quote unquote, but are
• 3:46
  there any real ramifications. Is he going to sit in
• 3:49
  a jail cell for any extended period of time. I
• 3:53
  have my doubts now. I hope that the UK turns
• 3:56
  things around and they do the right thing here and
• 3:58
  they're an example to everybody. But let's not get carried away.
• 4:03
  Don't act like the UK system isn't corrupt. It most
• 4:05
  certainly is. I mean, they'll arrest you for a social
• 4:09
  media post, but if you're part of a grooming gang,
• 4:11
  forget it. It's all good. Mister mount Batten, Windsor repeatedly
• 4:17
  turned down request to attend a voluntary interview to reveal
• 4:20
  what he knew about the pedophile financier during the US
• 4:23
  investigation in twenty twenty pro tip. Most guilty people don't
• 4:28
  want to talk to the FBI. Instead, his lawyers insisted
• 4:32
  that he would only give a sign written statement and
• 4:34
  I'll fly to the States or appear via video link.
• 4:38
  And that's because he didn't want to be challenged. He
• 4:40
  didn't want to get tripped up, and he didn't want
• 4:42
  to get caught in a lie. So he'd give you
• 4:44
  a written document that somebody else wrote for him, and
• 4:49
  then he just called it his own. I mean, take
• 4:51
  a look at how he dealt with Emily Maitliss. Can
• 4:53
  you imagine a seasoned interrogator like we've talked about previously. Now,
• 4:58
  for those of you who read books, and I know
• 5:00
  some of you out there still do, you might be
• 5:03
  familiar with Joe Abercrombie, the author, and he has a
• 5:06
  character named Sandan Glocta in his books, and the guy's
• 5:09
  an inquisitor and his job is to get information from
• 5:12
  people who have crossed the state. And boy, do I
• 5:16
  wish that that dude was real and that he'd have
• 5:18
  a few minutes with Prince Andrew's bitch ass. The refusal
• 5:24
  led to the DOJ submitting a formal demand known as
• 5:27
  a mutual legal assistant request to the UK Home Office
• 5:31
  asking them to compel him to speak to him. But
• 5:34
  the transatlantic summons came to nothing, and mister mount Batten
• 5:37
  Winsor never spoke to prosecutors and has still never assisted
• 5:41
  the FBI Epstein probe. Well, that's because he's part of
• 5:44
  the probe, as I've proven to you time and time again.
• 5:47
  Now he's not a witness, he's a person of interest,
• 5:50
  a suspect, somebody that allegedly was involved, and that's why
• 5:54
  he doesn't want to speak to the FBI. They can
• 5:57
  color it however they want, they can tell you whatever
• 5:59
  kind of bullshit story they want, but the truth is
• 6:02
  what the truth is. Explosive emails uncovered by the Sun
• 6:07
  could shed some light on why the efforts ultimately failed.
• 6:10
  Civil servants in Whitehall feared that Blackford's, the law firm
• 6:14
  used by mister mount Batt and Windsor, would challenge any
• 6:17
  help they provided to the Yanks in the British court system.
• 6:21
  How pathetic, How absolutely and utterly pathetic. Imagine being a
• 6:26
  UK official and getting this request and not doing anything
• 6:29
  with it. Ah, you know what, We're just gonna sit
• 6:31
  on it. Who cares about Virginia, who cares about the
• 6:34
  other girls that were abused. As long as Prince Andrew's safe,
• 6:37
  as flow as the Queen isn't mad at us, we
• 6:39
  won't do our jobs. And if you're wondering why we
• 6:42
  were going so crazy back then, this is why we
• 6:44
  knew it was bullshit and we knew that they were
• 6:46
  covering it up. So there's not only a cover up
• 6:49
  in America, there is a cover up in the UK
• 6:52
  and both of them are happening right now in real time.
• 6:58
  In email, states that the UK Home Office expect that
• 7:01
  once they approve the MLA and refer to the police,
• 7:04
  that Blackfords will file a judicial review action. In that action,
• 7:09
  they believe Blackfords will claim that the Home Office failed
• 7:12
  the follow its internal guidelines on reserving MLA assistance to
• 7:16
  those instances in which voluntary cooperation is not possible. Loopholes
• 7:21
  and technicalities the weapons of the rich. You don't have
• 7:26
  the money to pursue that in court, but they do,
• 7:28
  and I promise you that's how a lot of these
• 7:30
  people get off. The loopholes and technicality strategy, that is
• 7:36
  the strategy of the guilty folks, always has been always
• 7:39
  will be. Now, Look, I'm not saying you shouldn't use it.
• 7:42
  When you're battling for your freedom. You got to do
• 7:44
  whatever you gotta do, and whatever strategy pops up, as
• 7:48
  long as it doesn't cross the line. Hey, came on.
• 7:52
  But for those of us who actually follow court cases
• 7:56
  and follow them religiously, we know exactly what it means
• 7:59
  when you use loopholes and technicalities, and we know exactly
• 8:03
  what it means when Prince Andrew's team is threatening to
• 8:06
  use that strategy. Blackfirds will argue that since they have
• 8:12
  offered voluntary cooperation as recently as early June, the Home
• 8:16
  Office failed to properly apply its internal guidelines and the
• 8:19
  Court should direct the Home Office to vacate its approval
• 8:23
  of the MLA request and send it back to the
• 8:25
  US to engage on a voluntary basis with the Prince's team. Yeah,
• 8:29
  because that's exactly what he was going to do, voluntarily
• 8:32
  talk to people. Remember, they think you're stupid. Always keep
• 8:38
  that in mind. When we read these articles, or you
• 8:41
  read articles or talk about the story, keep in mind
• 8:43
  that they think you're stupid and they think you're going
• 8:45
  to buy all the bullshit sihoup nonsense that they're dumping
• 8:49
  into the arena. They think that the more information that
• 8:51
  they don't, the more confused people are going to be.
• 8:55
  And that worked in the old days. It's not going
• 8:57
  to work anymore because the information is all there now
• 9:01
  and the people that want to find it, and the
• 9:02
  people that want to look for it, they have a
• 9:04
  resource to do so, and it's the Epstein files. And
• 9:08
  there's a lot of good stuff in there now. Nothing
• 9:11
  that is going to point directly to what they were
• 9:14
  up to, but a lot of inference, a lot of
• 9:18
  wink wink, nudge nudge, and when you put all the
• 9:20
  pieces together, well, the puzzle that it reveals is really disturbing.
• 9:27
  The legal fears expressed by the British authorities appear to
• 9:31
  baffle the American side, who fumed, all we want to
• 9:33
  do is ask some questions. God forbid, God forbid you
• 9:38
  bring in the queen's son. That's what this is all about.
• 9:40
  Keep that in mind. This is about the queen stepping
• 9:43
  in and telling them the answer is no. The US
• 9:48
  attorney who led the investigation into Epstein in New York
• 9:51
  has since claimed that British authorities protected the former Prince
• 9:54
  during his probe, Jeffrey Berman wrote in his twenty twenty
• 9:58
  two book, we got absolutely nowhere were they protecting him?
• 10:02
  I presume someone was, Yeah, Mommy dearest, this epic coward
• 10:06
  was hiding behind his mother's skirt his whole life. Emails
• 10:10
  uncovered by the Sun also show mister mount Batton, Windsor's
• 10:13
  lawyer Gary Bloxam, blasting US prosecutors after they accused the
• 10:16
  royal of providing zero cooperation. Mister Bloxam, known as good
• 10:22
  News Gary due to his optimistic outlook, told the DJ
• 10:25
  that the probe into the former Duke of York was
• 10:28
  being used only to gather publicity for mister Jeffrey Berman,
• 10:31
  the US attorney for the Southern District of New York.
• 10:35
  Oh yeah, I'm sure that mister Berman was just trying
• 10:37
  to build his cred to do what exactly. He didn't
• 10:41
  run for public office. He faded away into private life.
• 10:47
  So mister Bloxam was talking a bunch of bullocks. I
• 10:50
  think that's what they say across the pond. In a
• 10:55
  scathing email sent amid the battle to get Andrew to
• 10:58
  testify in February two, twenty twenty, mister Bloxam said there
• 11:02
  was no purpose in engaging any further with the legal time.
• 11:06
  He wrote, in England, prosecutors and investigators try to make
• 11:09
  sure that the investigation and trial of serious criminal cases
• 11:13
  takes place in court and non press conferences or publicity battles. Well,
• 11:18
  you're not in the UK, buddy, This case is going
• 11:20
  on in America, American rules. When we complained about the
• 11:26
  way the Duke and we have had been treated by
• 11:29
  the DOJ, you refuse to apologize, and you have now
• 11:32
  also gone back on your promise that any arrangement for
• 11:36
  the interview will be confidential. We cannot advise the Duke
• 11:39
  to speak to prosecutors who cannot be trusted to deal
• 11:42
  with them fairly, nor to treat what he says or
• 11:44
  does confidentially. Sorry, we don't need it confidential. No more
• 11:49
  of that behind the curtain bullshit. Guess what. We don't
• 11:52
  trust you, mister Bloxham. We don't trust Andrew, and we
• 11:55
  don't trust the DOJ full transparency. He reluctantly accepted our
• 12:01
  advice that in those circumstances there's no purpose to be
• 12:05
  served in continuing to try to assist further. Finally, we
• 12:11
  have no wish to engage in any further publicity battle
• 12:14
  about the DJ's conduct, and for that reason we ask
• 12:17
  that you treat this email as private and confidential. Further
• 12:21
  published emails revealed that mister Bloxham feared his client was
• 12:25
  being treated as a suspect in the proceedings rather than
• 12:28
  a witness. After his disastrous Newsnight interview in November of
• 12:33
  twenty nineteen, Andrew stepped back from public duties and in
• 12:37
  twenty twenty five relinquished the title of Prince had it
• 12:40
  taken from him? Not relinquished, had it snatched. In February,
• 12:44
  Andrew was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office
• 12:48
  over Epstein. He has not been charged. A Home Office
• 12:52
  spokesperson said, our thoughts from man with the victims of
• 12:55
  Epstein who have lived with unimaginable trauma, and this government
• 12:59
  will do everything in its power to ensure accountability is delivered.
• 13:03
  Oh yeah, I'm sure you will. We have a lot
• 13:05
  of faith in you. Does anyone really believe the authorities
• 13:09
  in the UK are going to handle their business or
• 13:12
  do you think that we're just getting the old reach around.
• 13:14
  I'm gonna say we're getting the old reach around and
• 13:16
  when all of a sudden done, Prince Andrew is gonna skate. Now, mandelsshon,
• 13:21
  he might end up in jail, But Prince Andrew, I
• 13:24
  have my doubts. But I'll tell you what, I'd love
• 13:27
  to be wrong, and I'd love to show up here
• 13:29
  and eat a bunch of crow with Prince Andrew's bitch
• 13:32
  ass sitting in prison. That would be great. I just
• 13:34
  don't see it happening, But like usual, we'll keep an
• 13:37
  eye on things and when we have more information, we'll
• 13:40
  get it added to the catalog. All the information that
• 13:43
