UK cops block bid to trace Prince Andrew's location on night he's accused of sex with teen

[NY Post, where Britain gets its news] British police have blocked a legal bid to trace Prince Andrew’s bodyguards’ movements on the night he allegedly first had sex with a Jeffrey Epstein accuser.

The disgraced royal claims that he could not have had sex with Virginia Roberts Giuffre in London in March 2001 — because he was grabbing pizza with his daughter at a chain restaurant in the small town of Woking.

With no witnesses of the prince’s pie date, the Mirror Online submitted a Freedom of Information Act request hoping that his royal protection officers’ movements would help prove his whereabouts that day.

But London’s Met police rejected the request, citing national security concerns — and sparking an immediate backlash, the UK news site said.

#3 Did the Prince pay with cash? I would think there would be a ton of photos tagged with the prince and the location among the civilian population no matter where and when the Prince goes anywhere public. Restaurants often remember such high profile guests and often take photos to put on the wall. Journalists should have little difficulty confirming the story (if true) without a freedom of information request.

#7 Epstein's death had too many coincidences surrounding it to support a claim of suicide. Likewise, it is difficult to believe the Prince.

What about the witness that puts Giuffre with Andrew on the night in question?

#8 #5 Gorb "what home videos?"

From WiKi:

Epstein installed concealed cameras in numerous places on his properties to allegedly record sexual activity with underage girls by prominent people for criminal purposes, such as blackmail.[77] Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein's close companion, told a friend that Epstein's private island in the Virgin Islands was completely wired for video and the friend believed that Maxwell and Epstein were videotaping everyone on the island as an insurance policy.[78] When police raided his Palm Beach residence in 2006 two hidden pinhole cameras were discovered in his home.[79] It was also reported that Epstein's mansion in New York was wired extensively with a video surveillance system.[80]

Maria Farmer, who visited Epstein's mansion in New York, noted that Epstein showed her a media room in the mansion where there were individuals monitoring the pinhole cameras throughout the house. The media room was accessed through a hidden door. She stated that in the media room "there were men sitting here. And I looked on the cameras, and I saw toilet, toilet, bed, bed, toilet, bed." She added that "It was very obvious that they were, like, monitoring private moments."[81]

Epstein allegedly "lent" girls to powerful people to ingratiate himself with them and also to gain possible blackmail information.[82]

According to the Department of Justice, he kept compact discs locked in his safe in his New York mansion with handwritten labels that included the description: "young [name] + [name]".[83] Epstein partially confirmed that he had blackmail material when he told a New York Times reporter in 2018, off the record, that he had dirt on powerful people, including information about their sexual proclivities and recreational drug use.[84]

#9 Epstein's death got a lot of people off the hook, so far. Some people are more equal than others.

#10 I think Gorb was being facetious - as in: "We'll never see them"

#12 Gorb is a funny and sly one, frequently sent to his room for illicit punning (deliberately)

#13 What kind of man is Gorb? Oh, just like any other man, only more so.
