  It’s easy to prove he shared the files. It’s harder to prove (legal proof) that he raped children. It’s akin to Al Capone being convicted of tax fraud.

  I’m personally hoping it’s a “shake the tree” charge. By going after a royal, they will hopefully unnerve others with similar material in the files. They can then potentially use plea deals on those to go after the bigger fish.

    GHCQ already has more. These guys are unlikely to start flipping, not just because the “ring” nature of the blackmail but because they killed EVERYONE for the Franklin Scandal but one girl who was left alive and imprisoned for perjury as a warning to others. IMHO you’re more likely to see members of the house of lords step down, fall out of windows or passionately saber rattle for Israel.

      Likely true.

      I can still hope that there are some people with a bit of integrity, willing to rattle the cages, when they can.
