It’s easy to say - well, it’s the Daily Mail. But, of course, Mandelson could have used legal means to block claims which were untrue. We can now say conclusively that the claims were not true - hence they went unchallenged.
... should it say the 'claims were true- hence unchallenged" ?
Snap conclusion in The Guardian - Morgan McSweeney , I paraphrase, came over as self-effacing, not comfortable in the spotlight, with key take away soundbite ' Like a dagger to my heart' when self-effacing Morgan learnt full truth about deep, close, long standing relationship between Mandelson and Epstein. My BTL comment in response 'vanished' .
Evidence to contrary is damning against McSweeney- smooth operator, off the book, like his confidant pal Mandelson, well versed in briefing, sleuthing to compile dossiers to discredit, smear political enemies. Poorly prepared Committee gave him free pass- coupled with complicit silence from MSM. Noted that one Committee member, declared that he attended some of Liddle's supper nights just as hearings were coming to end.... mumbled and very telling .
