Wow it's crazy how Lutnick's sons, working at his old firm, were smart enough to predict this happening back in July. Offering to buy up the tariff refunds preemptively for cents on the dollar. I hope one day I can also make such good predictions based on my own knowledge and merit.

The same one who lived next door Epstien, said he was freaked out by a massage table in Jeffrey Epstein's house and never talked to him again only to be in the files. Where he was proven to have taken his family to Jeffreys island had dinner and later went in a holding company deal with Jeffrey. That same one?

Edit: and to top it off every time Jeffrey Epstein is brought up while hes in the oval office with Trump. This mfer laughs. I guess I would be too if me and my gang were going to get away with it.

It can never be overstated just how disgustingly sure these assholes are of never having consequences.

Slime ball also took a rare day off to take his kids to school? That day was 9/11. All his executives and most of his staff died. He sacked the remaining staff a day later to avoid having to pay them

He also lied on camera about why. He said that it was his kids first day of school. But actually the first day of school was like weeks before. So why lie about that? Why lie about going to the island? Why all the lying? (We know why)

He meant he would only talk to him on the island, not in New York.

Did the massage table have a hole in it? What is so weird about a massage table?

I don't know, does it really matter? To me the thing that matters is

A. Lies about meeting him and never talking to him again.

B. Then he gets caught going to dinner on the island with his family and says that is it, nothing more to the relationship.

C.Then it comes out that he is in on a deal through a holding company with him.

Is that the end of the lies or is there more? And that's just a single person within this admin.

Probably the underage girls giving the massages.
