There are no massive calls for this. No one associated with Dump is going anywhere due to Epstein. The USA is not Europe, there is no accountability here.

Lutnick recalled Epstein opening the doors to the room as he was showing them the mansion and that it had a massage table in the middle of it surrounded by candles. He said he asked Epstein how often he got massages.

“And then he says, ‘Every day,’” Lutnick said. “And then, he like gets, like, weirdly close to me, and he says, ‘And the right kind of massage.’”

After that, Lutnick said they quickly left, and in the quick journey it took them to get back to their own home, the couple agreed to “never be in the room with him socially, for business, or even philanthropy.”

“If that guy was there, I wasn’t going because he’s gross,” Lutnick said.


Lutnick's family planned a vacation to Epstein's island in 2012 (It's unclear if they ever actually went). Lutnick also invited Epstein to a 2015 Hillary Clinton fundraiser in 2015. It seems Lutnick didn't think Epstein was so "gross" after all.

In one email from December 2012, Lutnick's wife Allison wrote to Epstein's assistant: "We are looking forward to visiting you. We will be coming from Caneel Bay in the morning. We are a crowd... 2 families each with 4 kids ranging in age from 7-16! 6 boys and 2 girls. I hope that's okay. We would love to join you for lunch."

In another email, sent to a redacted recipient days before his wife's email, Lutnick writes: "Hi Jeff, We are landing in St. Thomas early Saturday afternoon and planning to head over to St. Bart's/Anguilla on Monday at some point... Does Sunday evening for dinner sound good?"

and there sure is a lot of horrendous stuff in the released documents about him and I am pretty sure I cannot imagine what else they are hiding. My mind is still having a difficult time learning the depravity of so many reprobates.

like to see some golf courses exhumed for buried bodies. Dumping bodies in the ocean was probably a choice too for these bastards.

Everyone is taking their cue from Trump. Just lie and deny ever meeting Epstein, despite mountains of obvious evidence to the contrary. There's literally nothing anyone can do as long as the DOJ controls all the evidence, is running the cover-up, and refuses to consider prosecuting anyone except Democrats.

Epstien was tied to Russia thus making the entire regime compromised. How many in Congress are also compromised?
