"They say it's the cover-up, rather than the original sin, that gets you in the end. It's true for politicians, state bodies and the Catholic Church, as we've discovered far too many times."
"But the slow drip-feed of documents from the Epstein files reveals time and again how the tentacles of squalid dealings from the late paedophile and "fixer" wound their way to the top echelons."
The slow release of documents from Jeffrey Epstein's files repeatedly shows connections between his network and high-level figures. Evidence indicates that squalid dealings and facilitation by the late paedophile and "fixer" reached elite circles. Cover-ups and institutional secrecy amplify damage more than the original crimes alone. The British monarchy, tied by association or proximity to implicated individuals, faces acute vulnerability from sustained disclosures. Continued drip-feeding of material risks eroding public trust, prompting political and constitutional consequences. Institutional survival depends on transparent investigation, accountability, and severing compromising links to prevent collapse of legitimacy.
