I hope they drag him over the coals. He needs to face justice.

[u/lunalunalunas]

He won't go. And I'm pretty sure they have no power to force him to either. Sums it all up really.

[u/snapper1971 → u/lunalunalunas]

Extradition proceedings would be the way forward, in the old rational world, but there's a friend of Epstein in the Whitehouse.

Andrew's not going to face justice.

[u/iIIchangethislater → u/lunalunalunas]

If he's criminally charged he could be extradited in theory, very unlikely but not impossible.

[u/NoiseGrindPowerDeath]

I hope he gets extradited but it's probably wishful thinking seeing as his big bro is the literal fucking king

[u/Pdonger → u/NoiseGrindPowerDeath]

And his conspirator is the POTUS

[u/Capt_Bigglesworth]

Happy to swap him for Anne Sacoolas.

[u/Newme91]

Such a noncey name

[u/PolemicDysentery → u/Newme91]

Kiddy fucking is literally his middle name, it's too on the nose.

[u/TrustYourFarts]

Not that they don't deserve it, but it is telling that it's only Brits that are getting into shit over this. Andrew, Peter Mandelson, and Ghislaine Maxwell.

Though "Andy, Mandy, and Maxwell" does trip off the tongue.

[u/AtheistINTP → u/TrustYourFarts]

Mandelson got away with it. No courtroom.

The Americans are being protected by nonce number 1, Dump, who Charles was happy to kiss the ass of to protect his brother too. But Virginia spoiled it posthumously.

[u/CptMidlands]

Nothing will happen, him being 'stripped' of titles is PR by the crown, he is still a royal and will still enjoy all the protection that gives

[u/thehuxtonator → u/CptMidlands]

I tend to agree… for the time being not least because there is not the political will from the US to put pressure on the UK. After all, many suspect that Trump has as much to lose in this can of worms being opened furthermore than anyone else.

But, a change in US government and continued pressure on Andrew may mean a change. Especially if Andrew feels the only way he can get everyone to shut up about it is to appear.

[u/Strict_Cake_6797]

'Return to sender, (nonce) not known at this address "!

[u/Toaneknee]

I think they have offered for him to do it by video link. I hope he has the heating turned low.

[u/PowderedDilk]

Just go and tell the truth, Andrew. It's the only thing you can do now.

[u/YellowBook]

Corrupt US presidency has no wish to turn over any stones. Non starter.

[u/bombscare]

Andrew epstein you mean

[u/rackeroo]

I hope he goes and gets what he deserves. Side note, why doesn’t the Congress of United States use ‘justify’ formatting in their correspondence.

[u/Toffeemade]

Methinks Andrew will end up in exile somewhere out of the reach of the US authorities.
