Funny how congress can investigate him but not trump. Funny how they can issue a summons to him, and expect him to comply, but thy can't do anything in America to the shut show going on in the streets
- It’s past time to replace these old ass clowns destroying our economy, livelihoods, and morale.
  Keep voting them OUT!
  
  Obligatory XKCD insertion.
  This is one of those rare cases where regardless of where you place the hyphen, "old-ass clowns" or "old ass-clowns," both are accurate descriptions of the clowns in question.
- They did investigate Trump and they know that he's deeeep in it and that's why GOP really doesn't want it coming out.
- Good distraction. Hey look we're defending children!
- Doesn't interviewing a potential witness count as investigating Trump?

So .. the US Congress can just summon a citizen from a different country .. and the citizen is compelled to .. do what exactly?
- Nothing, which is why the letter phrases it as a "request."
  In order to be extradited he'd have to actually be charged with a specific crime, insofar as I am aware.
  
  Charging him with a crime sounds like a good start .. though I doubt that will happen anytime soon.

Come on, Andy. Let the bitterness and shame spur your desire to lash out and hurt someone. Tell all and watch the place burn. Imagine walking into the US capitol building and dropping napalm in front of the world.
You think you’re fucked? Watch what happens to the USA when you prove who their President really is. At least a third of their heads will explode and the rest will just ignore you while they dance around the carnage and point fingers.
It will be glorious.
- He is going to still protect whatever privileges he still enjoys. He doesn't give a shit about Trump or any other pedophile seeing any kind of justice. He just wants to keep himself as safe as he can.

This reminds me of that bit near the end of RoboCop, where Dick Jones is immune to consequences whilst he's part of the firm.
As soon as the old man fires him, the law can act 😁
I doubt congress is going to shoot him but I can wish.
Gonna have a rum and coke and watch RoboCop tonight, been years since I've seen it.
- "I had to kill Bob Morton because he made a mistake. Now it's time to erase that mistake."
  
  Don't you get it? You removed! I work for Dick Jones! Dick Jones! He's the Number Two Guy at OCP. OCP runs the cops.
- Nah, he'll just fall out of a window after surviving several self-inflicted bullet & stab wounds. 🤷🏼‍♂️

I seriously doubt he will follow that summoning. He won't rat on his co-rapists, as this would implicate himself. He still denies any wrongdoing.
And while I would not put it beyond the American government to send special forces to Windsor in order to abduct him, the UK would not take this lightly, even with a disgraced member of the family.
How about summoning American citizens residing in the US first? There are more than enough known from the Epstein case who could give answers. Start with "president" Trump.
- I believe he has been removed from all his titles to avoid drawing the family into the drama. It signals something is actually shifting behind the scenes to me. I don't think he's gonna get family support for this. Luckily he is still fabulously wealthy on his own. This has gotten so big it can't be stopped, only delayed. Those delaying tactics are also wearing thin. Keep up the pressure folks!!
  
  While he has been stripped of almost all titles (some are not bestowed by the king, so there is some external bureaucracy involved that is still on it), the British might still be pissed if the 'mericans abduct a brother of the king.

Also, I've had a tinfoil hat itch in the back of my head that the US may be giving allies time to sort their affairs before proceeding with the Epstein case, but I don't put much stock into it as we live in the dysfunctional timeline.
- The government that needs its shit sorted most isn't US allies
- That's mighty considerate of them, I'm sure it has nothing to do with the fact that the current president of the United States is undoubtedly all over the files.

The wheels on the bus go round and round

Andrew visited and stayed with Epstein after Epstein was released from prison for raping kids.

He's still denying it so I won't expect much. And it's telling Congress can agree on his appearance but not on releasing the files.
- Yeah but that would implicate dear leader dumpy. Ofc they can’t release it /s

Cool. We'll swap him for that cunt that ran over a cyclist and then fled back to the US.

Quite right too. I wonder if Donald has recieved his letter yet. Can we publish that?
- This phrasing of "received his letter" made me think of a new, unwelcome meaning for Hogwarts.
  
  My happy memories destroyed you scoundrel ;-)

Mountbatten?? This just keeps getting worse.

🦀 🦀 🦀

ooh, summoning like a summoning circle incantation.

Is that his name????
Are names like that common there?
- Names like that are not common here.
  Besides their real family name is "Saxe-Coburg and Gotha" but it was changed to Windsor in 1917 due to WW1 resentment towards the Germans.
  At least we got the following joke in (famous British TV series) Blackadder:
  "Look, I'm as British as Queen Victoria!"
  "So your father's German, you're half-German and you married a German?!"
- I have 4

Half expect them to give him the medal of freedom
- Purple Heart for Syphilis.

Calling some random English nobody? Isn't everyone in England a duke or a count or some type of fancy title carrier?
This guy is just... Andrew? Okay.
- As of the past few days, yes.
  I wish it felt more satisfying than this.
- That's Andy to his co-rapists
