You left out the part where Lutnick lied about ever associating with Epstein until hard evidence was rubbed in his face. I understand that this administration places little to no emphasis on honesty but it is still a bad look.
Lied or simply did not remember a random lunch from years ago? Or maybe he thought there was no record of it so he lied so as to not listen to the nonsense like the posts above about a random lunch being tied to elite pedophile Mossad operation.
You guys dismiss the actual victims with this nonsense on Lutnick. Put up some evidence or cut the lazy retreads about who Epstein had has neighbors.
What about his other neighbors? Are they above suspicion? Or is it because they don't know Trump?
Most people aren't dubious of Lutnick because he is buddies with Trump. I would say most could overlook the fact he hungout with Epstein. It is the fact he lied about it. He very clearly tried to mislead the public about his relationship with Epstein.
He initially said he was so disturbed by Epstein's house tour he severed the relationship in 2005.
Evidence went on to show they met in 2011.
Lutnick took his family to Epstein Island in 2012.
They maintained email communication until 2018 and discussed neighborhood disputes, mutual investments, and an Epstein donation to a charity dinner honoring Lutnick.
Maybe Lutnick only remembers 2005 and somehow blacked out and forgot 2011-2018. Seems more likely that he lied and thought he could get away with it.
Communicated to his neighbor about neighborhood disputes, investments and a charity dinner seems like very normal things for these guys. Do you have any concept as to what a person like Lutnick's social and business calendar looks like?
Again, waiting for you to indicate the nefariousness.
The "he lied" and holy heck the "misled the public" is not really holding any water.
Because do you also know what Epsteins list of connections, meetings and desired meetings. The charity dinner reeks of what I just explained - Epstein was always working an angle to get in with guys. Sometimes those guys oblige out of courtesy or continued annoyance.
Do you have ANYTHING that shows Lutnick engaged in bad behavior with Epstein? If not, its time to put it to rest.
I don't know if Lutnick did anything or not. If he did, we will never know about it.
Definitely normal things! I agree. What does not seem normal is to just forget you communicated with the guy for close to 15 years.
It seems more likely that he lied than he just forgot that they communicated over the course of that timeframe, but maybe he completely forgot the guy existed! Hopefully his memory serves him better in his role as Secretary of Commerce!
I understand Epstein tried to latch onto anyone with power and influence that he could. I am sure that is what he tried to do with Lutnick.
I tend to be more skeptical than trusting of people in government, so the fact he seemingly lied about his interactions with Epstein rubs me the wrong way. If he recalled being so appalled by Epstein's house tour in 2005 he felt the need to severe the relationship, he would recall at least some of the interactions he had with someone he found to be so detestable after the fact.
