Also a lot of chatter on the internet today that Andrew is going to spill the beans on very rich men who raped children in the US... I wouldn't be to hopeful that he will - unlike in that BBC interview he will have had a lawyer there to keep the interview on topic "misconduct in a public office"... So not sure he will be squealing unless there is some plea dealings going on... which a high profile case like this they would be very very careful to offer him anything, or have an inkling of bigger fish to go after and just needing the inside details.

Chatter on the internet, is just that, meaningless.

People putting 2 and 2 together and making 500.

I’m not defending Andrew at all, but if you are going after people for ‘misconduct during public office’ wouldn’t you have to build a really massive courtroom first?

[NJA]

He needs investigating and dealing with 100% but do we need to know every detail, fed up of hearing about it.  Let the police do their thing and let us know once sorted.

Headline the other day;  'Andrew gets waitrose delivery to his new house'.  Couldn't give a crap tbh.  Obviously he still going to buy food from somewhere.

[Mark Bolam]

Totally agree.

I wouldn’t care if I never heard him mentioned again.

He'll walk away, just like all the others, mandelson, just like blair,

raynor,  and every other tentacle of sleaze, corruption, and fraud in the system that reaches far beyond the passing of a few documents and misconduct in a public office.

It makes little difference what sections of the public think, or demand, the corrupt system will protect itself at all costs, and it's relatively easy when the rot is so deeply embedded in every part of society worldwide , political,judicial, police, religion.

every now and again it throws one of its kind under the bus,just to appease a few,  but it will continue, and with even more determination and stealth.

misconduct in a public office - misconduct in a private office. It's the monkey in us - there's no hope

 

Sir Philip Green, former owner of the BHS retail chain, was central to a major 2016 corporate scandal involving the collapse of the11,000-employee company and a £571 million pension deficit. While no direct criminal fraud charges were filed against him, he was accused of extracting hundreds of millions in dividends while leaving the pension fund severely underfunded.

I reckon so, there will be no charges related to Epsteins more infamous crimes, no charges to any co-conspirators to the same crimes from what this interview throws up, no rich (US based?) billionaires issued with arrest warrants, 2 plus 2 making 500 and probably wrong.

 

My thought, he will get a slap on the wrist punishment, probably finding that the information passed to Epstein didn't harm anything, a big fine, perhaps his passport confiscated.

 

The criminal charges will be enough to bar him from getting a visa to many countries including the US I think quite conveniently, UK 'house arrest'. (Unlike say, Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, welcomed by Trump to the US despite his criminal past including entering the US on false documents)

[Mick Dempsey]

What’s in it for Andrew to spill the beans? If there are any beans to spill.

Theres no way back to any kind of public life.

 

As you say, a slap on the wrist, complete disappearance from public life.

 

Live out the remainder in relative comfort.
