Epstein files could be just tip of the iceberg for Andrew investigation

When Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was arrested at about 08:00 on Thursday, it had nothing to do with Virginia Giuffre, the woman who accused him of sexual abuse.

What led to him being arrested started with information that came out in the massive Epstein file release in January, around activities while he was a trade envoy for the British government. But it will not have stopped there.

It was emails in those files that seem to be between Andrew and the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that led to Thames Valley Police getting involved.

One email in particular stood out. In November 2010, after Andrew had returned from a UK government-funded trip to Asia, he was sent a series of country reports relating to his trip.

A month later, on Christmas Eve, Andrew appeared to email Epstein a confidential briefing on investment opportunities in the reconstruction of Helmand Province, Afghanistan, which was overseen at the time by British armed forces and funded by UK government money.

In a further email dated 9 February 2011, Andrew seems to suggest Epstein invest in a private equity firm he had visited a week before.

2. And, we're just at the tip of the iceberg of the Epstein files in general

The monarchy is an institution in Britain, employing thousand of people with uniquely specialized skills and holding events and initiatives which the economy depends on. One asshole could upend a lot of lives if people sour on the monarchy generally.

3. And there is...

... an ice age-sized avalanche of proof that Andrew is royal asshole. Well, not so royal anymore, but seriously huge, nevertheless. He's been a spoiled brat since birth.

5. Andrew was obviously born in the wrong country

Here in America, not only do people of such status go unpunished for their crimes, they also get rewarded with political power as long as they have an R next to their name.
