Politico: Twitter, Facebook suspend China-linked disinformation campaigns targeting Hong Kong

"Britain's Prince Andrew denies any involvement in Epstein sex scandal"
What a joke. We all have seen the photo of him with his arm around the bare waist of that 16 year old girl named Virginia. She also testified a convincing account of his sexual molestation of her. He is rotten to the core, and likely so is the entire royal family.
If I were Andrew, I would give up Clinton. Being a royal and cooperating (with 1/2 the US), he might escape with a fine and payment to the victim. The royal family stood by him 2 Sundays ago, but not last Sunday. By throwing Clinton the wolves he might escape and mitigate the damage to the tarnished House Windsor.
I want Clinton. The victim can take were geld if she will accept that.
