Larry Summers steps back from public commitments, ‘deeply ashamed’ by Epstein revelations

Emails revealed that Summers sought advice from Epstein on romantically pursuing a woman he referred to as his mentee.

Summers’ comment comes after a senior Trump administration official and Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) each called on institutions to sever ties with Summers.

The statement leaves question marks hanging over the fate of several positions Summers occupies, which include a board seat at OpenAI, a tenured position at Harvard, an unpaid nonresident fellow position at the liberal Center for American Progress think tank and a paid contributor role at Bloomberg News. A Summers spokesperson declined to answer a direct question about those roles.

Earlier Monday, Bloomberg declined to comment, and OpenAI and Harvard did not respond to requests for comment. Also ahead of Summers’ statement, CAP said it was “reviewing last week’s disclosures to determine appropriate next steps.”

The Uniparty is going to regret pushing for release of the mythical "Epstein files" in order to smear Trump.

“Emails revealed that Summers, who served as Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton and a top adviser to President Barack Obama,”

From another site in case anyone was wondering about Summers.

Particularly since he is the one who blew the whistle on Epstein and caused Epstein’s downfall...

Alan Dershowitz, who represented Epstein during his plea bargain, said there are no current Senators or representatives who engaged in prostitution at Epstein's island. The big question is if Democrats are finally willing to throw Bill Clinton under the Epstein bus.

All paper money with his signature should be redeemed at face value and burnt.

That sounds like the description of a 1970s sitcom episode. "Havoc ensues when the human trafficker Larry sought for advice is arrested, and is ready to spill the beans."

I believe Trump was begging ‘not be thrown in the briar patch’.
