Another day, another elite caught squirming in the Epstein web. This time it’s former Clinton and Obama Treasury Secretary and Harvard bigwig Larry Summers, who just announced he’s “stepping back from public commitments” after his emails with the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein were made public. Translation: Larry’s ducking for cover before the mob demands his head.
Let’s be clear—Summers wasn’t caught on tape doing anything criminal with Epstein. What he was caught doing was something arguably worse in elite circles: being boring and creepy at the same time. The now-public emails show Summers whining to Epstein about his mistress, who he nicknamed “Peril,” and Epstein trying to cheer him up with nerdy talk about Bayesian statistics and life on other planets. If this was supposed to be intellectual heavy-hitting, it was more like two washed-up academics playing therapist with each other.
Another Democrat, Rep. Stacey Plaskett (D-VI), was also exposed in the latest document dump. She was caught texting with Epstein during a Congressional hearing examining Michael Cohen. She was asking for advice from Epstein on how to question him. Rep. Plaskett didn’t do her homework ahead of the hearing so she wanted Epstein to tell her what to ask. Turns out the Congresswoman and Epstein were quite chummy, he scolded her for chewing gum during the hearing in one exchange. She also took donations from Epstein.
House leader Hakeem Jeffries has also been caught up in the scandal. He was exposed as asking Epstein for donation money. What makes this despicable was that Jeffries ask came after Epstein was charged and everyone knew he was a perverted pedophile. That factoid didn’t stop Jeffries from taking his cash for himself.
Of course, the media couldn’t resist. The Epstein email dump has kicked off a full-blown feeding frenzy. The House just voted 427-1 to force the DOJ to release all Epstein files within 30 days. The one guy who voted no? Republican Clay Higgins from Louisiana. His reason? He didn’t want a media mob torching innocent people. Naturally, the press is now trying to cancel him too, because heaven forbid someone pump the brakes on trial-by-Twitter.
Let’s not pretend this sudden revival of Epstein mania is just about justice. Trump’s back in the White House, and the same media that pushed the Russiagate hoax is back to its old tricks—creating a moral panic to punish the wrong people and protect their own. Epstein’s story is a mess, no doubt. But if there’s real dirt in these files, let’s see it all—not just the parts that help CNN get clicks.
Two journalists who have read A LOT of Epstein’s emails with Democrats got together to talk about it…it’s a fascinating insight into just how deep Democrats relationships were with the convicted pedophile.
