From another site in case anyone was wondering about Summers.
Lawrence Henry “Larry” Summers (born November 30, 1954) is an American economist most famous for serving as United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1999 to 2001 and as the director of the National Economic Council from 2009 to 2010.
He also served as president of Harvard University from 2001 to 2006, where he is the Charles W. Eliot University Professor and director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at the Harvard Kennedy School.
Particularly since he is the one who blew the whistle on Epstein and caused Epstein’s downfall...
Thanks ... name seemed vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place it.
All paper money with his signature should be redeemed at face value and burnt.
I believe Trump was begging ‘not be thrown in the briar patch’.
I knew his name, but did not know of his podcast.
FOR ALL- Donations needed to keep Jim’s site up.
Just the first Rat to be exposed by the Epstein files being released. First of many.
Some chickens coming home to roost?
Where’s Rev. Wright?
Lickety-splicety.
Yes...I read the same statement by Dershowitz.
He sought advice on how to woo a woman? Horrors!!
