Notable Quotes 3
The TSC has had the Epstein emails now for almost five years — and no MP and no civil servant did the honourable thing and demand the FCA investigate.
Mr Stride, do you take personal responsibility for the TSC witholding key legal evidence to ongoing inquiries? Which civil servants in the TSC are involved with the cover-up? Are they expecting a role in Barclays after the dust has settled?
I believe the general public would be correct to infer that Epstein not only blackmailed Parliament to put Staley into position, but blackmailed it into accepting Bailey and Osofsky.
