Former Treasury Secretary and Harvard President Larry Summers said Monday he's "stepping back from public commitments" after messages between he and Epstein were released last week.Β
"I am deeply ashamed of my actions and recognize the pain they have caused. I take full responsibility for my misguided decision to continue communicating with Mr. Epstein," Summers said in a statement. "While continuing to fulfill my teaching obligations, I will be stepping back from public commitments as one part of my broader effort to rebuild trust and repair relationships with the people closest to me."
Dozens of messages between Summers and Epstein were included in a trove of documents from Epstein's estate that was released by the House Oversight Committee last week, including emails exchanged during the last years of Epstein's life, even as the accused sex trafficker's public notoriety grew.Β
In one March 2019 exchange, the pair appeared to banter about a woman that Summers knew in London, with Epstein seeming to offer advice to the Harvard professor.Β
"I said what are you up to," Summers wrote in part of one message, describing a conversation with the woman. "She said 'I'm busy.' I said awfully coy u are."
Epstein's reply read, in part: "shes smart. making you pay for past errors."
Why did the FBI either fail to track down major information about would-be Trump assassin Thomas Crooks β or fail to make it public?
Indeed, shouldnβt the Bureau have been aware of Crooksβ alarming and visible social media profile long before he opened fire on President Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., last year?
The information Miranda Devine shared in Mondayβs Post directly contradicts public claims by then-FBI Director Chris Wray that Crooks was a mystery man with a thin or nonexistent online presence.
How could the feds miss the YouTube account "Tomcrooks2178" (which showed to other users as Tom Crooks), active from Jan. 14, 2019, to its suspension on July 14, 2024, the day after Butler?
In fact, he got more spooky after he turned to the left, writing in August 2020, "the only way to fight the gov is with terrorism style attacks, sneak a bomb into an essential building and set it off before anyone sees you, track down any important people/politicians/military leaders etc and try to assassinate them."
All the previous weirdness, from the Secret Serviceβs claim it posted no agents on the roof Crooks used because it was too steep to Wrayβs bizarre testimony to Congress that Trump may not have even been shot, has launched a thousand conspiracy theories.
The FBIβs decline, dating back to at least Robert Muellerβs "reforms" after 9/11, is old news, but Team Trump was supposed to be turning things around; the nation needs to know why that FBI work is plainly going far too slowly.
#BREAKING π¨π₯
Christian protestors are being SURROUNDED by Muslims in Dearborn, Michigan, who are screaming βALLAHU AKBARβ
The police department is majority Muslim, so donβt expect them to protest the Christian protestors.
I'm ending my narrative on the topic since I warned about Dearborn countless times.
Muslim mayor won the election , nothing has changed and matter of fact, Dearborn is lost.
What happens in Dearborn is matter of residents of the city.
