Massie calls on Lutnick to resign over alleged Epstein ties

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) on Sunday pushed for Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick to resign after his name appeared in files linked to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

“Trump’s Commerce secretary, Howard Lutnick, said that he and his wife decided around 2005 to cut ties with Jeffrey Epstein,” host Manu Raju said on CNN’s “Inside Politics.”

“But the latest release shows that there was some correspondence after that, even after Epstein pleaded guilty to sex crimes in 2008. What questions do you have about Lutnick’s ties to Epstein, and should he come before Congress and testify?” Raju asked.

“No, he should just resign. I mean, there are three people in Great Britain that have resigned in politics. The ambassador from Great Britain to the United States, the prince lost his title for less than what we’ve seen Howard Lutnick lie about,” Massie told Raju in a clip highlighted by Mediaite.

Massie is creepy too. His quick transformation from a slobby frumpy nerd to a butterfly and a quick remarriage is rather odd.

There is a clash between Congress and the administration

Bondi testifies this week and Massie will be asking her questions

don’t be ridiculous. He’s a genius. Mandelson literally got caught with his pants down. If your standards say Howard should resign then say goodbye to POTUS.

However, in some Epstein-related documents released by the Justice Department, there are emails suggesting Lutnick kept associating with Epstein past 2005. In one email to Lutnick from November 2012, a person identifying themselves as Epstein’s assistant says the convicted sex offender is looking to meet with Lutnick.

One email? Epstein's assistant contacted Lutnick?

This is what Massie is spending his valuable time on?

His post on Facebook:
“We were legally married in Kentucky on October 19th”.

So romantic. /S
...
“We will reside on the farm in Kentucky where Carolyn recently helped me re-establish ducks and chickens to go with the beef cattle...

“...first met professionally over a decade ago when she worked for Senator Rand Paul. As Senator Paul’s Ag policy staffer until 2016, Carolyn was a very early proponent and practitioner of Making America Healthy Again. She even visited me and my late wife Rhonda on our grass-fed cattle farm several years ago. Carolyn has not previously been married.”

Fun facts about our wedding: Of course we served raw milk with the wedding cake and margaritas made with frozen peaches from our farm! Senator Rand Paul and Representatives Jim Jordan, Warren Davidson, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Victoria Spartz attended...”

It isn’t a lot of people. Many are democrats who like Massie because he likes to do damage to us that benefits the democrats.

There are going to be people mentioned in these files that did not break any laws other than contact with Epstein at one time or the other.

Ask yourself why Massie never mentions any the most prolific Epstein buddies in the democrat party? Epstein was not a republican.
