STATEMENT OF JOSEPH D. MCBRIDE, ATTORNEY FOR ANDREW AND TRISTAN TATE
The world knows Andrew and Tristan Tate are innocent. Their enemies know it best of all. That is exactly why they have been attacked.
Last night, the United Kingdom, a corrupt and fallen nation that jails its own citizens for tweets while ignoring rape gangs it found too inconvenient to prosecute, conjured up a wave of charges against the Tate brothers. This is not law enforcement. This is a political hit ordered by a dying empire that fears two free men with a microphone more than it fears actual criminals walking its streets.
Understand what Britain just did. There is a long-standing agreement between the UK and Romanian governments that the UK would not seek extradition while the Romanian proceedings are pending. Those proceedings are ongoing right now. That agreement exists because no nation gets to trample the judicial sovereignty of another for political convenience. The UK shredded its own word the moment it became useful to shred it. That is who they are.
And the timing is no accident. For years, I have been litigating a defamation lawsuit in Palm Beach, Florida, that has absolutely destroyed the baseless allegations against the Tate brothers, piece by piece, under oath, on the record. That case goes to trial within six months. The UK knows it. They watched their lies get demolished in an American courtroom, and they panicked. This extradition demand has one purpose: to kidnap Andrew and Tristan through paperwork before an American jury exposes the truth to the entire world.
Worse, our understanding is that this arrest was greenlighted by a low-level functionary at the Department of Justice who never got approval from leadership. Think about that. Two men who came to this country openly, lawfully, and peacefully were thrown in a cage on the say-so of a bureaucrat freelancing with the full force of American law enforcement.
We are confident that once a competent judge sees the facts, and once the Department of Justice confronts this egregious abuse of its own authority, Andrew and Tristan Tate will walk free. America does not do Britain's political dirty work. Not here. Never.
America is watching. The world is watching. And we will win.
According to Saxo Grammaticus, in medieval Danish law when a foreigner slew a Dane, two foreigners must be put to death.
Disproportionate penalty was seen as justice because foreigners lacked the same kinship and legal protections (weregild) that Danes enjoyed, so the society mandated a harsher, collective penalty for them. They believed rulers owed their people an uncompromising deterrent to prevent outsiders from disturbing the peace or assaulting native Danes.
Something to think about.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON: "To admit foreigners indiscriminately would be nothing less than to admit a Trojan Horse into the citadel of our liberty & sovereignty."
FREE THE TATES! This is straight bullshit.
Ghislaine Maxwell, convicted of trafficking for Epstein, sits in a low-security prison painting dogs every day. Jonathan Pollard sold our most sensitive secrets to enemies and walked free to Israel.
Both got convicted in America.
Meanwhile, Andrew and Tristan Tate have been investigated for three years in this witch hunt and still havenβt been convicted of a single thing.
Free them NOW! @SecRubio@realDonaldTrump@JDVance@DAGToddBlanche
The amount of times Andrew Tate and Tristan Tate have been arrested and not convicted makes everything they say about it being political make more sense.
