WASHINGTON - Prince Andrew’s lawyers had discussions with a Washington lobbyist with ties to the Trump administration about the possibility of assisting the prince with fallout from his relationship with the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Lawyers from the London-based firm Blackfords consulted the lobbyist, Robert Stryk, who represents international figures with sensitive legal or diplomatic issues, in recent weeks about Prince Andrew’s situation, according to a person familiar with the circumstances.
Mr. Stryk has a history of taking on clients with unsavory reputations. But he expressed discomfort about the possibility of assisting Prince Andrew, and talks about the potential representation appear to have fizzled, according to the person familiar with the situation.
It is not clear precisely what type of assistance Blackfords might have been seeking from Mr. Stryk, who is not a lawyer, or what he could do to help Prince Andrew. Nor is it clear whether Blackfords has reached out to other Washington lobbyists or consultants about the possibility of working on the issue.
Neither Mr. Stryk nor any other American consultant is listed as having registered with the Justice Department to represent Prince Andrew, which could be required under the Foreign Agents Registration Act if a consulting arrangement had been reached involving lobbying or public relations.

NY Times: “All the Bullschtein That’s Fit to Print”
Randy Andy is probably worse than we know. Off with his head.. Or something.
I read it. Honestly for the Times it’s a rather innocuous article. Says he didn’t help him. Consultations aren’t against the law
Maybe he should get help in the Epstein case from Barbarino :)
“Washington lobbyist with ties to the Trump administration”
No matter what the subject is, providing it is negative, they must somehow slip in the name “Trump”, which in this instance, the story had absolutely nothing to do with Trumps administration.
While Jeffrey Dahmer murdered and ate young men, Donald Trump visited Wisconsin on several occasions.
Oh the Grand Old Duke of York
He had ten thousand men
He marched them up to the top of the hill
And he marched them down again
It’s an old song about another Duke of York, but it fits perfectly with the current situation. A parable for a futile effort.
Who remembers the brothers of the eldest son and heir of Queen Victoria?
Andrew will soon be forgotten. Unless he’s trying to stay out of prison, I don’t see what he’s worried about. Just another ne’er-do-well lecher of a royal.
