By the FBI.

Some good need for a change.

That’s his first wife. Allegra something?

Now corrected to The b&w picture is Johnson and his first wife, Allegra Mostyn-Owen from various sources - it was misidentified as GM (who missed BJ at Oxford).

Things are moving at internet speed all of a sudden ...

Randy Andy needs his comeuppance

As do they all

He needs to be sweating his bollocks off, does t'lad

Let's hope he's trialled in the States

I think Having followed this case Very closely ok obsessively since Epstein’s murder/suicide that there are some big names to come out. Steve Bing suicide last week photographed with Epstein and Clinton on more than one occasion plus his very young GF odibg on drugs who supplied them ? It’s murky waters

GM must have been at Oxford at about the same time as BoJo, though. Is there anything to suggest they were friends? It’s possible. If so, I imagine that friendship finished recently.

Oh really @Parsley1234 ? I hadn’t read that. Can you recommend an article or source?

I think there was 4 years difference, so they are unlikely to have been Bullingdon Buddies - although given the misogyny (and racism) of the entire Bullingdon set ....

However it's fascinating when you pull a thread from anywhere in this sweater (yes, there is a subtext) you end up seeing the same old, same old knots and stitches. The same old same old faces and intersections. And I suspect that is exactly what the FBI realised very early on (hopefully because it's bleeding obvious).

Didn't Andrew say he didn't sweat. Wink

crosseyedMary · 02/07/2020 17:52

All eyes on Andy now

yellowsunset · 02/07/2020 17:52

@Haut

Do you think the US would really make an application to extradite him? I can’t see that Britain would ever allow an extradition to go through, in any case

Do you not think so? How come? Genuine question btw and not me being goady.

Surely the royals cannot be above reproach especially as this is such a high profile case and Andy has been strongly implicated.

Mind you, Virginia has said she slept with him when she was 17 and this was in the UK so I'm not sure what if anything they can convict him on in regards to her, sadly.

He's a dirty bastard so I've no doubt she wasn't the only one.

The royals (and the true elites) have always been above reproach. It's a bit naive to think otherwise.

Hmm

Not sure Meghan would agree with you. Or Diana. Or Wallis Simpson.

KetoWinnie · 02/07/2020 17:55

Oh I hope Prince Andrew faces the music.

YgritteSnow · 02/07/2020 17:55

It will be interesting to see how she is killed off. Could be Corona?

I think that's exactly how they'll do it.

KetoWinnie · 02/07/2020 17:56

I think if the USA made a formal application through the proper channels it would be very hard for the royal family to block it without looking totally corrupt.

They wouldn't see it as justice, they'd see it as poor Andrew, the sacrificial lamb.

I hope he's sweating finally.

That’s really creepy.

@ArriettyJones I started looking into The case last year and followed it obsessively. When Bing killed himself there was a picture with him Epstein and Clinton sometimes with the Mail it’s more of what they omit and if you remember last year Clinton was heavily implicated with Epstein his girlfriend who overdosed the implication is that Bing had given her the drugs that were laced x

TipseyTorvey · 02/07/2020 18:04

I have never been one for new world order conspiracy theories but lately I'm just starting to wonder what on earth is going on? There's no way surely that Trump and Johnson are actually really in charge? If Ghislane doesn't make it to court due to a mishap, I'll have to assume the nutters are correct and I've been naive this whole time.

DisaK · 02/07/2020 18:07

I just don't know how she will be allowed near a court with the trouble she could unleash for some very powerful people.

StealthPolarBear · 02/07/2020 18:08

Interesting thread

OneFootintheRave · 02/07/2020 18:09

About bloody time! Why so long though, surely this has bought her time to concoct some alibis or destroy evidence. I realise most of the case against her would be witness testimony but she would even have had time to call in some favours in high places. She certainly knows where a lot of bodies are buried and could take some high profile names down with her.

OneFootintheRave · 02/07/2020 18:12

@pola Hmmm, well let's hope the ahem 'suicide watch' is slightly more efficient this time.

True dat!

crosseyedMary · 02/07/2020 18:12

she's had lots of time to tie up loose ends, get her story straight etc

Oh yes. The Mail and their cryptic clues.

I was devastated when Epstein committed suicide. I was waiting for the trial of my own abuser to come to trial (see here if you are interested warriorwoman.blog/). I was so upset for his victims, having their chance of justice ripped away. I was terrified that the man that abused me would kill himself before I got justice too (he didn't, he is currently a year in to a 16 year sentence).

Am I being unreasonable to be ecstatic that Ghislaine has FINALLY been arrested and am I bring unrealistic to hope that the survivors might finally get some justice?

HotSince82 · 02/07/2020 18:23

It won't be allowed to come to court.
The Clintons will be implicated, which post pizza-gate and the speculation around John Podesta will blow the whole dems wide open in the US.

She'll be maggot food by October. Or with Epstein, wherever he ended up.
