1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,520
Speaker 1: What's up, everyone, and welcome to another episode of the

2
00:00:03,560 --> 00:00:08,240
Epstein Chronicles. In the wake of former Prince Andrew being arrested,

3
00:00:08,560 --> 00:00:11,599
I told you that it was just the first step

4
00:00:12,160 --> 00:00:15,839
for the investigators when it comes to their overall look

5
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,039
at what Andrew might have been up to. And well

6
00:00:19,480 --> 00:00:24,000
we're certainly hearing that now because according to the Met Police,

7
00:00:24,399 --> 00:00:28,920
they're probing a whole range of sexual allegations against Andrew

8
00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:33,600
and says that Peter Mandelsson is being investigated over a

9
00:00:33,679 --> 00:00:36,280
five hundred billion dollar bell out email that he sent

10
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:41,159
to Jeffrey Epstein. So Prince Andrew got himself caught up

11
00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,759
in this by the emails, right, procedural emails sending things

12
00:00:45,759 --> 00:00:49,880
to Epstein that Epstein wasn't supposed to receive, and that

13
00:00:49,960 --> 00:00:53,960
opened the door. And once the door's opened, well who

14
00:00:54,000 --> 00:00:57,159
knows where the investigators are going to go. And when

15
00:00:57,159 --> 00:00:59,840
it comes to somebody like Andrew with all these skeletons

16
00:00:59,840 --> 00:01:04,079
in his closet, not exactly a very comfortable situation to

17
00:01:04,120 --> 00:01:08,959
be in. And for me, this was always going to

18
00:01:08,959 --> 00:01:12,200
be the result. Once you have an investigation kicked off

19
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:14,879
into you, do you really think that they just stop

20
00:01:15,400 --> 00:01:19,040
at the initial allegation or do you think they flip

21
00:01:19,040 --> 00:01:21,599
your life upside down as they look for anything that

22
00:01:21,719 --> 00:01:25,680
might be considered criminal. And the former Prince Andrew is

23
00:01:25,719 --> 00:01:28,640
now finding that out. And that's why I'm so adamant

24
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,439
about arresting people who have committed crimes here in America,

25
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:35,439
even if it's just procedural, even if it just has

26
00:01:35,480 --> 00:01:38,959
to do with finances, whatever it might be, because it

27
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
opens that door. Now. Look, I'm not going to sit

28
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,799
here and tell you that it's going to end up

29
00:01:43,319 --> 00:01:47,840
with Andrew being charged. I don't know, but he's completely

30
00:01:47,879 --> 00:01:52,000
exposed now and it's not just for emails. They're looking

31
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:56,400
into everything. So it's going to be real interesting to

32
00:01:56,400 --> 00:01:59,439
see how this ends up. Today's article is from the

33
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:04,040
Daily Mail and the headline met police probeing a whole

34
00:02:04,159 --> 00:02:08,400
range of sexual allegations against Andrew. Chief confirms and says

35
00:02:08,439 --> 00:02:12,759
Peter Mandelsson is being investigated over five hundred billion dollar

36
00:02:12,840 --> 00:02:18,080
bellout email he sent Jeffrey Epstein. This article was authored

37
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:23,319
by Mark Duel. Scotland Yard is investigating a whole range

38
00:02:23,439 --> 00:02:27,360
of sexual allegations against Andrew mount bat and Winsor to

39
00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:31,520
see if they married. A criminal investigation it's chief, says well,

40
00:02:31,639 --> 00:02:34,840
I would say so. I think that there's plenty here,

41
00:02:35,800 --> 00:02:39,120
But the one caveat to that is with Virginia not

42
00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:42,400
being with us anymore, it might be difficult for them

43
00:02:42,439 --> 00:02:45,960
to prosecute, right, So we'll have to see where it goes.

44
00:02:46,319 --> 00:02:49,960
But I really feel like Andrew is exposed here and

45
00:02:50,039 --> 00:02:52,360
that the Joe exotic of the Windsor family for the

46
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:56,199
first time in his life, is seriously in legal jeopardy.

47
00:02:57,719 --> 00:03:00,840
Andrew was accused of having sex with jeffreyp Stein's revivor,

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:05,520
Virginia Roberts, three times, including when she was seventeen, after

49
00:03:05,560 --> 00:03:10,080
being trafficked by the pedophile financier. The former prince was

50
00:03:10,199 --> 00:03:13,840
arrested last month on suspicion of misconduct in public office

51
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,360
overclaims he shared sensitive information with Epstein when he was

52
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:22,319
the UK's trade envoy, but Andrew has not been arrested

53
00:03:22,479 --> 00:03:25,879
in relation to any sex offenses. Well, that's what I

54
00:03:25,879 --> 00:03:28,120
said in the beginning. They're going to nail them on

55
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,000
what they can prove right now, or what they think

56
00:03:31,039 --> 00:03:33,719
they can prove, and then that opens the door for

57
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,759
further investigation. So you'll see the first indictment, right and

58
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,400
now I'm not talking about Andrew, but overall, so you'll

59
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:46,879
see the first indictment and then later on they'll supersed

60
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,280
that indictment and add more charges if more charges are necessary.

61
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:55,919
So that's basically the process we're seeing here. They had

62
00:03:55,960 --> 00:03:59,719
their initial investigation and now that door's open and they're

63
00:03:59,719 --> 00:04:04,280
walking through it. Metro Police Commissioner Sir Mark Rally said

64
00:04:04,280 --> 00:04:07,000
the force felt claims made by Miss Roberts across four

65
00:04:07,120 --> 00:04:10,919
video recorded interviews could not support a probe. Sir Mark,

66
00:04:11,199 --> 00:04:14,759
speaking during a visit to Washington, told ABC News those

67
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:18,360
interviews didn't give us any evidence or any allegations of

68
00:04:18,399 --> 00:04:22,399
sexual offending or trafficking that we could investigate in the UK.

69
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:26,480
So that's why the investigation didn't go forward. I don't

70
00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:30,959
believe that for a second. Sorry, that's a bunch of bs.

71
00:04:31,959 --> 00:04:36,040
And the whole entire thing was created to protect Andrew

72
00:04:36,879 --> 00:04:40,800
all it to behested the Queen. By the way, Queen

73
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,560
Elizabeth was huge in enabling Prince Andrew's bullshit and unfortunately

74
00:04:45,600 --> 00:04:52,360
it's proving disastrous for the royal family. But speaking about

75
00:04:52,399 --> 00:04:55,759
the new probe, Sir Mark added, those investigations all go

76
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:59,560
wherever the evidence takes them quite comfortable with investigating sort

77
00:04:59,560 --> 00:05:03,000
of famous or powerful people. I think it's really important

78
00:05:03,079 --> 00:05:06,399
for policing to do that, that sense of operating without

79
00:05:06,439 --> 00:05:10,480
fear or favor. The law applies equally to everyone and

80
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:14,600
those cases will go say wherever the evidence leads us. Well,

81
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,160
I wish I could believe that that would be great,

82
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:21,079
but history has shown us that Scotland Yard has no

83
00:05:21,199 --> 00:05:25,160
desire to investigate Epstein. Sir Mark said the MET is

84
00:05:25,199 --> 00:05:28,399
also looking into an email Peter Mandelssyn said to Epstein

85
00:05:28,879 --> 00:05:33,920
as he urged the US authorities to release uneradacted correspondence. Well,

86
00:05:33,959 --> 00:05:37,160
I don't see why the US wouldn't do that. I mean,

87
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:40,680
if we have some information about Mandelssin that could help

88
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:43,639
the UK, we should definitely release that to them. But

89
00:05:43,759 --> 00:05:45,959
we have to remember who we're dealing with, and if

90
00:05:45,959 --> 00:05:48,920
they want the cover up to continue, maybe they decide

91
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:51,000
that they don't even want to help the UK and

92
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,279
they just keep the files to themselves. Got to make

93
00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:55,839
sure the cover ups are protected, no matter what right.

94
00:05:56,079 --> 00:05:59,920
Mandelsshn was arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office

95
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:04,680
after being accused of disclosing sensitive information to Abstein when

96
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:09,120
Business secretary. The email that Mandelsyn sent to Epstein appears

97
00:06:09,160 --> 00:06:12,519
to show he confirmed an eminent five hundred billion pound

98
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,920
ballout package for the euro that day before it was

99
00:06:15,959 --> 00:06:20,519
announced in twenty ten. The message released by US authorities

100
00:06:20,759 --> 00:06:24,639
in January as part of the Epstein files appeared to

101
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,680
have been sent to Abstein after he became a convicted

102
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,800
sex offender. Another email from two thousand and nine also

103
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:35,480
appears to show Mandelssinn passed on an assessment by Gordon

104
00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:40,399
Brown's advisor of potential policy measures, including an asset sales plan,

105
00:06:41,079 --> 00:06:45,199
and that he appeared to discuss attax on banker's bonus.

106
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:48,879
All stuff that's very relevant to Jeffrey Epstein, right, stuff

107
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:52,240
that he can use to manipulate the market. And in

108
00:06:52,319 --> 00:06:54,800
my opinion, there is not even any gray area here

109
00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:59,639
for Mandelssyn to try and defend himself. You sent these emails, right,

110
00:07:00,199 --> 00:07:03,360
You sent the information to Epstein and he didn't have clearance.

111
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:08,040
It seems pretty damn clear cut to me. On May ninth,

112
00:07:08,079 --> 00:07:11,519
twenty ten, in the last days of mister Brown's government,

113
00:07:11,759 --> 00:07:15,879
Epstein emailed Mandelsn saying, sources tell me a five hundred

114
00:07:15,879 --> 00:07:20,279
billion eurobell Out almost complete. The reply from a redacted

115
00:07:20,279 --> 00:07:24,720
address or number said SD be announced tonight. A massive

116
00:07:24,759 --> 00:07:28,160
rescue package was agreed by Brussels in the early morning

117
00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:33,319
hours of May tenth. Everything's about market manipulation. Everything's about

118
00:07:33,360 --> 00:07:36,959
trying to get the advantage. And they already have the

119
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,839
advantage considering they're billionaires, but they have to have more, right,

120
00:07:42,759 --> 00:07:46,959
It's never enough. It's like the lady who claims that

121
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,759
she's starving to death because she doesn't have a loaf

122
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:52,519
of bread, but she has a Virginia ham stuffed under

123
00:07:52,519 --> 00:08:00,720
her arm. I mean, what are we doing here? Said

124
00:08:00,759 --> 00:08:04,319
with Peter Mandelsson, the former ambassador. There is a particular

125
00:08:04,360 --> 00:08:07,959
email to do with the bell out after the financial crash,

126
00:08:08,199 --> 00:08:10,399
I think in two thousand and eight, two thousand and nine.

127
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:13,399
It looks like it was shared with Epstein. So we're

128
00:08:13,480 --> 00:08:16,600
looking at that as to whether that's a criminal offense.

129
00:08:17,079 --> 00:08:19,879
And then colleagues in Thames Valley are looking at other

130
00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:25,720
documents that Andrew Mountbatten winsor potentially shared and several forces together.

131
00:08:26,360 --> 00:08:29,959
There's a whole range that suggested sexual allegations and those

132
00:08:30,279 --> 00:08:33,559
are being assessed at the moment to see whether any

133
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:37,759
of them do actually merit a criminal investigation, and I

134
00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:41,360
would say they do. I think there is plenty here

135
00:08:42,279 --> 00:08:45,080
for at the very least an investigation. Now does that

136
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,879
mean it's going to end up in convictions, of course not.

137
00:08:49,240 --> 00:08:52,759
But all I've ever called for is a robust investigation.

138
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:55,639
But for that to happen, the government would have to

139
00:08:55,679 --> 00:08:58,600
be transparent and they'd have to be willing to take

140
00:08:58,639 --> 00:09:02,279
ownership of the fact that that they created Jeffrey Epstein,

141
00:09:02,759 --> 00:09:05,320
and for the government, that is a bridge that is

142
00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:09,360
way too far. Sir Mark's visit to America this week

143
00:09:09,519 --> 00:09:13,159
follows a meeting with US Ambassador Warren Stevens last month,

144
00:09:13,759 --> 00:09:17,879
with the issue of releasing unredacted correspondence raised during the

145
00:09:17,919 --> 00:09:22,120
meeting on February twenty fourth, Sir Mark said, of course,

146
00:09:22,159 --> 00:09:24,720
there's a big body of that evidence in the US,

147
00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:27,799
in all those files, and at some stage we're going

148
00:09:27,799 --> 00:09:31,759
to need the unredacted evidence. We need the original copy

149
00:09:31,919 --> 00:09:34,279
and where did it come from, And that's going to

150
00:09:34,279 --> 00:09:37,679
be necessary if we get to the stage of court cases.

151
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:41,200
Imagine if America decides they're not going to share this

152
00:09:41,399 --> 00:09:43,960
with the UK, and that kills the case. I wish

153
00:09:44,039 --> 00:09:46,120
I could say that there's no way that could happen,

154
00:09:46,879 --> 00:09:51,679
but that's not true. Remember who is running America right now,

155
00:09:51,919 --> 00:09:54,200
and remember how far they're willing to go to keep

156
00:09:54,279 --> 00:09:58,879
all of this secret. The US Department of Justice released

157
00:09:58,879 --> 00:10:02,240
millions of pages of docum mints related to Epstein in January,

158
00:10:02,600 --> 00:10:05,519
with some of the other pages showing the extent of

159
00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:10,399
the connection between Mandelssohn and the sex offender. Mandelssohn lost

160
00:10:10,399 --> 00:10:12,919
his job as the UK's ambassador to the US in

161
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:18,039
September last year due to his association with Epstein. He

162
00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:22,080
was arrested last month and subsequently bailed, but later released

163
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,879
from his bell conditions, although he remains under investigation. The

164
00:10:26,960 --> 00:10:30,279
MET has already made contact with US authorities to seek

165
00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:33,480
further detail on what has been disclosed in the files.

166
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,320
It's unclear whether the Force will have to submit a

167
00:10:37,320 --> 00:10:41,279
formal mutual legal assistance request to gain access to the

168
00:10:41,360 --> 00:10:46,080
unredacted files, a process that would take substantially longer. The

169
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,080
US authorities previously sent an MLA to the Home Office

170
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:54,320
requesting Andrew's assistance as an alleged witness to Epstein's offending,

171
00:10:54,919 --> 00:10:59,480
and that went nowhere. Like usual, the former Prince is

172
00:10:59,519 --> 00:11:02,799
also the subject of a misconduct in public office investigation,

173
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,000
which is being led by the Thames Valley Police. Andrew

174
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:11,360
and Mandelssohn have both strenuously denied any wrongdoing. When it

175
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:14,039
comes to Andrew, I always knew that this door was

176
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:17,600
going to get opened, and I knew that eventually the

177
00:11:17,679 --> 00:11:21,960
floodgates would break. And here we are. So the question

178
00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:28,279
is where do we go from here. All the information

179
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:31,440
that goes with this episode can be found in the

00:11:31,519 --> 00:11:32,399
