Wouldn’t it be lovely if one or more of these countries find Jabba to be guilty and issues a warrant as an international criminal? If our country refuses to prosecute, justice may still be found.

I think about this all the time. If our own institutions keep slow-walking accountability, the next real shock may come from abroad—prosecutors in places like the U.K., Poland, or Lithuania deciding the paper trail is enough and that “Jabba” is a criminal defendant, not an untouchable. It would be a political earthquake if another country moved first, but you’re exactly right: jurisdiction doesn’t stop at the U.S. border, and if this government refuses to prosecute, justice might still arrive in the form of a foreign arrest warrant and a suddenly much smaller map of where he can safely travel.

For anyone interested in the UK take on the Epstein scandal, please follow Andrew Lownie’s YouTube series on the updates in the UK. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor was stripped of his status as a British prince, and also lost his title as Duke of York. His former wife Sarah is no longer able to use her former title of Duchess of York as she only held it because she had been married to Andrew. She lost her status is Her Royal Highness when she and Andrew divorced in 1996, and now she is plain Sarah Ferguson. Peter Mandelson lost his title as Baron Mandelson and was removed as a member of the House of Lords after revelations about his continued contact with Jeffrey Epstein. This isn’t going to help Keir Starmer much in continuing as prime minister.

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor will reside on one of farms at Sandringham, where at least King Charles can keep an eye on him. Not too many of the royal staff are interested in serving at his new home, however, with his past rude, arrogant, petty and cruel behavior toward them.

Really appreciate you flagging Andrew Lownie’s work here—the UK angle on this story is crucial, and his series is a great way to follow how it’s landing over there. A couple of quick factual notes so we’re all on solid ground: Andrew has now been stripped of his royal titles and is officially Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, and Sarah has dropped the “Duchess of York” styling and is presenting herself simply as Sarah Ferguson. Peter Mandelson, however, hasn’t lost his title—he’s under criminal investigation and has stepped down from the House of Lords, but he still technically holds the Baron Mandelson peerage. Your larger point absolutely stands: the more this unfolds, the harder it becomes for Starmer, the Lords, and the monarchy to pretend this is anything other than a full-blown legitimacy crisis.

Reportedly Prince William is driving the King to disconnect Andrew as a public member of the Royal Family because of his lying about having sex with underaged girls, his getting caught in a lie about never having met Virginia Giuffre in her teens, his indifference and inconsiderate lack of concern for the women and girls Epstein’s clients abused, and his belief that Mummy the Queen would protect him. Reportedly, the late Queen thought Andrew was more vulnerable than her other children, and there is some evidence Andrew may have been sexually abused as a child. As an adult, he made money off the Pitch to the Palace project, informed diplomats he expected women to be made available to him (many of them disliked it as they felt they were expected to pimp women to Andrew,) and reports sent back to the Royal Secretary and the British government went unanswered as the Queen was not going to listen to them. Sarah Ferguson borrowed quite a bit of money from Epstein to settle her own astronomical bills. Her parents never knew how to manage money, she never hired a competent financial manager when she married Andrew and afterward, and she squandered quite a bit of money during and after her marriage.

Thank you for correcting me about Mandelson’s peerage. I had thought he had lost it, but apparently not yet. I don’t think Nigel Farage would be any better than Starmer, and in many respects, he’s a lot worse. Starmer angered King Charles when he sought to enact laws for the Commonwealth nations without the King’s knowledge, and the King had to invite the Commonwealth leaders to a meeting to ease their concerns and to put them before Starmer.

W. T. F. is an “underage girl”? W. T. F. is “sex with an underage girl”? You mean child rape, don’t you? Call it what it is. We owe it to the survivors.

Let the lout serve his own pedophile ass. You know Virginia was not his one and only violation of a trafficked girl. May he rot in hell.

Kathy Hughes's avatar

Of course I know Virginia wasn’t his only victim. She was the one who found the courage to speak out. I concur about his recommended fate.

Having read her book, I feel that Virginia did not commit suicide. Just like Epstein did not commit suicide. I pray the truth will come out and that Virginia can Rest in Peace.

Let's hope Donny they will all be exposed and at least some held accountable. Thank you for this-

Donny Evans's avatar

Same hope here. I’ll keep stacking receipts until it’s harder to ignore them than to prosecute the people behind them. Knowing people like you are watching this with me makes it a lot harder for them to quietly walk away. ✊

Excellent reporting! Thank you!

Donny Evans's avatar

Thank you for reading and saying that—it means more than you know. I’m going to keep following this wherever the paper trail leads, and support like yours is what makes it possible. 💙

Ronna Weinberg's avatar

Yes keep going!! I sent your article to Ellie Leonard. She digs deep in to these files.

So glad too see that some accountability is coming but MUCH more is needed.

Especially for the TOP DOG (sorry dogs).

Donny Evans's avatar

That means a lot—Ellie’s work on these files has been sharp as hell, so I’m glad this is on her radar. We’re on the same page: this is a start, not a finish line, and the so-called top dogs are exactly the ones who should be sweating next.

I just discovered a Substack called Redacted Report. She is an excellent writer/researcher for the files. She has captured the legal/ FBI correspondences around epsteins death and the investigations that continued afterwards. She has receipts for everything she writes abt.

Google Kenneth Turner. He was investigating the sex ring before and after JE death. His files are damming. US Mexican Embassy, seal team 6, and several other high ranking US citizens. Ck HER reporting first!

The Peter Attia detail is a jaw-dropper. There is something uniquely twisted about building a brand on 'longevity' and moral health while privately coordinating with a predator like that. It just goes to show that a clean public image is often just expensive PR. Great catch.

Donny Evans's avatar

Exactly. The sheer volume of those emails blows up the idea that this was some accidental brush. Thanks for reading and engaging.

Declan Mercer's avatar

Are you going to be looking into this story further? I'd love to see how things unravel. Several countries are reopening investigations after these e-mail releases.

I really appreciate all your hard work. Thank you.

Pamela Usrey's avatar

Admire and am thankful for your work. Will be restocking every bit.

Donny Evans's avatar

That made me smile—thank you. Every restack puts this in front of someone who hasn’t seen the receipts yet, and that kind of signal boost matters more than any algorithm.

Well done Mr. Evans, well done! To sum things up in this world of rapid change exposure is appreciated. I ran across another tie today - George Nader (businessman) who was convicted for child exploitation, had connections to Russia, UAE, Israel and most important, the Trump clan. He is also in the Epstein files... You will find the DOJ write up and an old article from WAPO on my bsky politi-kat-srq page, if interested.
