Notable Quotes 2
You have added to this a request related to Epstein's and Maxwell's border crossings. We can ask for that, but I think this will make the UKCA pause and give this greater scrutiny. They might think that we are trying to get information about P. Andrew, which will cause them to spend time wringing their hands.
Ordinarily, we would make an inquiry about border crossing information on a police to police basis first, to see what is there. This one has a fight deadline, and is sensitive, so an MLA request (if you really need this stuff) should be on record.
Red Flags 1
