Summers is at his core no different than Weinstein or Epstein.
He should’ve sought Swallowswell’s advice. He’s the one who knows how to woo Chinese vixens.
“He should’ve sought Swallowswell’s advice. He’s the one who knows how to woo Chinese vixens.”
Me ruv you rong time, Rarry.
Epstein referred to himself as Summers’ “wing man” in an email exchange in which Summers was seeking Epstein’s advice on pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman he described as a mentee.
The term was used in the context of Summers’ pursuit of a woman (identified in reports as macroeconomist Keyu Jin) with whom he had a professional relationship. The email exchange and others were part of a tranche of documents released by House Republicans in November 2025, showing a years-long correspondence between the two men even after Epstein’s 2008 conviction for soliciting prostitution from a minor.
In the November 2018 messages, Summers expressed confusion and a level of frustration about the relationship dynamics, thinking he was “going nowhere with her except economics mentor”.
Epstein offered encouragement and suggestions for how to proceed, at one point writing, “I’m a pretty good wing man, no?”.
Summers replied, “You were good... Think for now I’m going nowhere with her except economics mentor”.

Disgraced former Harvard President Larry Summers spent his honeymoon on billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s private island after marrying one of the school’s English professors. The professor, Elisa New, flew to Little Saint James on Epstein’s infamous ‘Lolita Express’ with Summers, who left the school earlier this week over embarrassing emails wrt Epstein as his ‘wingman.’
The couple flew from Bedford, Massachusetts to the island on December 11, 2005, ten days after their wedding and while Summers was still president, according to publicly available flight logs obtained by The Harvard Crimson. The logs show Summers and New flew alongside Epstein’s infamous madam and ex-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell and his former pilot, Larry Visoski. ‘Mr. Summers and Ms. New spent their honeymoon in St. John and Jamaica in December 2005, which was long before Mr. Epstein was arrested for the first time,’ a spokesperson for summers said.
‘As part of that trip, they made a brief visit of less than a day to Mr. Epstein’s island.’However, it did come six months after Palm Beach police began investigating Epstein over the rape of a 14-year-old girl and two months after police had executed a search warrant on his mansion. Epstein hired Harvard Professor Alan Dershowitz just days before the visit by Summers and New.
The honeymoon trip is one of four publicly known flights Summers took on one of Epstein’s planes and three he took while running Harvard. New remains a professor emerita at Harvard in the school’s English department, teaching American Literature. She has been employed by the school since 1999. The Daily Mail has reached out to a spokesperson for Harvard University for comment. (Excerpt) Read more at dailymail.co.uk ...
How old is he???? He needed advice???? WT actual F????
Lawrence Henry Summers is an American economist. He served as the 71st United States Secretary of the Treasury from 1999 to 2001, as the 27th president of Harvard University from 2001 to 2006, and as the eighth director of the National Economic Council from 2009 to 2010.
This is now a very embarrassed DUMB A$$.
Democrats are hilarious. Bunch of damned hypocrites.
These are BS conversations. Spoofing back and forth.
Thanks for posting. SCUMBAG Summers.
Language nerd side note. “Mentee” was made up by ignorant people. The proper word is “protégé”.
A glimpse into how our elites run America.
I bring that up occasionally, too. “Mentor” does not mean “a person who ments,” so there’s no such thing as “mentee.”
“I have great regrets in my life,” Summers wrote in a Wednesday statement to The Crimson. “As I have said before, my association with Jeffrey Epstein was a major error of judgement.”
*********
Idiot can’t spell judgment right.
What did the people running Epstein want from Summers...?
And did they get it...?
Forbidden fruit always tastes better.
I can see why his “mentee” would not be interested romantically 🤮
Mentee? Hahvahd should know Telemachos was mentored by Mentor, and that Mentee was not. Just ask Homer.
“What did the people running Epstein want from Summers...?
And did they get it...?”
My read is that intelligence services collect human assets—and then use them when and if needed.
Summers was part of the “collection”.
