      It means Epstein’s private jet was given permission to land at UK military bases on more than one occasion, and if this was kept quiet until now, that means it must have been arranged by someone of a high rank within the UK.

      Andrew Mountbatten, formerly Prince Andrew, is accused of being deeply involved with Epstein.

      Now, this is where I know less about the rest of the details of the case, but if they can tie Andrew to the clearances, that could show a stronger link between the two. It’s more evidence that they were up to no good together, and it doesn’t bode well for Andrew.

      This also shows that Ghislane Maxwell knew, also helping to prove her involvement.

      Normally there is never a valid reason for a civilian plane to land at a military base (except extreme emergency, etc.).

      This means that someone authorized it to land there. Random Staff Sergeant A or Lieutenant B has no authority to do that, which means it had to have come from someone higher.

      So it begs the question: Who and why?

    There’s something beautiful in the simplicity and rawness of that exchange. I wonder to what extent the guy honestly dismissed the claim or was just trying to shush the question.
