The slightest spark of humanity left in him, not something demonstrated by almost any repuke congressional folks, cabinet members, or maggots for several years now.

We could obviously run out a few dozen names, all inhuman ghouls, but what;s the point.

He's still teaching at Harvard. He merely "backed away from public life."

Elizabeth Warren’s on his ass already:

“For decades, Larry Summers has demonstrated his attraction to serving the wealthy and well-connected, but his willingness to cozy up to a convicted sex offender demonstrates monumentally bad judgment,” Warren told CNN. “If he had so little ability to distance himself from Jeffrey Epstein even after all that was publicly known about Epstein’s sex offenses involving underage girls, then Summers cannot be trusted to advise our nation’s politicians, policymakers, and institutions — or teach a generation of students at Harvard or anywhere else.”

Having been a female in a male-dominated profession, I can't help but identify with the poor mentee. Or, for that matter with any female former Summers mentee. I can't imagine being in a situation where anyone who knows your professional background (i.e. that Summers was your mentor) is wondering if you got your experience/recommendations because your mentor wanted to sleep with you. And if you are that mentee, knowing that Summers was getting advice about pursuing you from a now-famous sex criminal would be quite chilling.

At this point they will gladly sacrifice Trump, and let the rest blow over to protect them all....

It's a win-win......they get rid of Trump AND Putin"s ability to direct Trump, all at the same time...

You are welcome ! Atrios apparently hates him. He should be pleased.

I shall shut up now in obeisance to President and Larry Summers!

Nothing like a clean conscience creeps . But this time around I hope it doesn’t go the way it usually does where they learn and come right back.

Trump.2 must be going overtime in a feverish attempt to stall but it'll just bring more negative attention, gawd, I'm LOVING IT.
