"The idea that the US justice system, like its British counterpart, could operate independently of the head of state — even if it causes him great embarrassment — is no longer credible.

As if to confirm this stark new American reality, the DOJ on Thursday unfurled a massive banner between two iconic columns on its Washington headquarters.

Staring out was a massive picture of Trump’s face."

Interview: U.K. Arrests Ex-Prince. Where is the Accountability in US?

British police released former Prince Andrew on Thursday. The police investigation is continuing, so far only into his actions as a UK trade envoy.

Authorities did not reference abuse allegations against Mountbatten, who settled a lawsuit with Epstein survivor Virginia Roberts Giuffre in 2022.

"If only DOj acted as decisively. It took British police less than three weeks from the release of the latest tranche of Epstein files to arrest Andrew, making Pam Bondi and Kash Patel look increasingly inept."

"They don’t care about trending topics. They are, in the worst way, durable.

That durability is precisely why the Epstein files have become one of the biggest rifts inside MAGA itself. ...

If Epstein taught the country anything, it’s that power thrives in darkness. So if everyone is innocent, transparency is easy.

And if someone keeps trying to change the subject, it’s worth asking why."

Kevin Rawlinson looks at the pictures that have emerged as the Epstein Class is discussed, and which will now forever capture Andrew Mountbatten's connection to Epstein: with Virginia Giuffre aged 17; walking in Central Park with Epstein in a tête-à-tête discussion; crouching over a woman lying on the floor, smiling, hand on her stomach. And now the arrest photo.

No matter what he tries to distract the public with, the Epstein files are not going away.

He can start an unnecessary tariff fight and dominate the headlines for a day—trade war cosplay, tough-guy posturing, a new chart on every cable network—and the Epstein files are still there."

"In the other, 'the Epstein class' – in Senator Jon Ossoff’s phrase – has faced public opprobrium but little by way of a legal or political reckoning with the US president, yet again, apparently getting off scot-free."

"A week earlier Pam Bondi, the top US law enforcement official, was asked how many of Epstein’s co-conspirators her department had indicted, or whether she would give state attorneys general access to evidence to build further cases. She refused to answer."

"The contrast could not be starker. At around 8am on Thursday, British police swooped on the Sandringham royal estate to arrest the former prince Andrew after allegations that he had shared confidential material with the late US sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It was a seismic shock for the monarchy."

He can even try to intimidate the press "into shutting up, and the Epstein files are still there. ...

When the smoke clears, the files are still there.

The files are not just 'a story.' They are the kind of problem that doesn’t obey spin. They sit there like a weight on the chest. They don’t respond to press conferences."

"He can send federal law enforcement into cities to produce the kind of footage that plays well in an authoritarian highlight reel—and the Epstein files are still there.

He can pick a fight with Disney until Jimmy Kimmel gets benched—because nothing says 'stable leadership' like treating the federal government like a personal complaint department—and the Epstein files are still there."

In one, the establishment has been shaken to the core by the Epstein files, with a member of the royal family arrested for the first time in nearly 400 years and a prime minister fighting for survival."

"As for Donald Trump, whose name appears in the Epstein files thousands of times, albeit without any clear incrimination, Bondi insisted that he was 'the greatest president in American history' and admonished members of Congress for not talking about the soaring stock market instead."
