Howard Lutnick faces bipartisan calls to resign over latest Epstein revelations

[Billiejeens]

“The entire Trump administration, including Secretary Lutnick and the Department of Commerce, remains focused on delivering for the American people,” he said.

And there you have it. Now the question is, why aren't Trump critics interested in delivering for the American people?

How's the coma been for you?

Should Howard Lutnick resign as Secretary of Commerce? Recently released files show he had much deeper and longer ties to him than he claimed. In the UK, PM Keir Starmer is facing calls to resign from inside and outside his party over his ambassador appointment of Lord Peter Mandelson, who was named in the files.

Do any of Trump's supporters care that Lutnick lied about his relationship with Epstein or are you waiting for Trump to tell you what to think? It's become more obvious why Trump desperately tried to have all of this buried.

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) accused Lutnick in a statement Monday of having “lied” about the extent of his connection to Epstein. Lutnick has sought to downplay their relationship, saying in a podcast appearance last year he vowed in 2005 to never again be in the same room as Epstein.

But files recently released by the Justice Department suggest he continued his interactions with Epstein, including planning a visit several years later to Epstein’s Caribbean island.

“Lutnick’s lies about his business dealings with a convicted child sex offender, raise serious concerns about his judgement and ethics,” Schiff said. “Lutnick has no business being our Commerce Secretary, and he should resign immediately.”

Asked about the scrunity, White House spokesperson Kush Desai did not respond directly but said President Donald Trump “has assembled the best and most transformative cabinet in modern history.”

“The entire Trump administration, including Secretary Lutnick and the Department of Commerce, remains focused on delivering for the American people,” he said.

Poor Taz

 

[meaner gene]

Man was on his own family vacation, are you saying he isn’t allowed? Haaaaaaaaaahaha

That meeting was AFTER Epstein had been convicted of soliciting underage girls.
And Lutnick brought his nanny (age not mentioned) that Epstein wanted to meet.

If there is a crime involved, then prosecute to the extent of the law.

If you care to make politicians and political appointees resign when they lie, holy shit I will support that, and we can run damn near everyone off Capitol Hill. **** it, and don't stop with Congress or Appointees, and clean out all the liars in the Agencies as well. I am starting to like the way y'all are thinking, so let's get to it. Damn y'all are some ambitious motherfuckers, woo-hoo.

 

[Oddball]

Agreed. The very notion he ought to be fired is just more of the freak-show circus that has popped up around the Epstein crap.

Lutnick is a stone ******* liar...Flynn was thrown overboard for far less than this.

 

[Oddball]

If Lutnick is doing a good job at Commerce then I dont think he should be replaced unless he is indicted on a felony charge

Well maybe keep the janitor that lied about the money he won in a card game last week, but that's it.

This is about association with a got-damned demon, not about last week's garage poker game.

Yeah. get all those folks.
Go to work, and prosecute every one of them you can as well.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

They weren't "hookers" you moron. They were underage girls.

There can be underage hookers. Virginia Giuffre was one.

She wasn't a hooker, she was a slave.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

She wasn't a hooker, she was a slave.

A slave who was paid enormously well for having sex with rich men. A slave who could leave whenever she wanted and did. She was a prostitute, voluntarily.

Yeah...Because that's how all sex slavery works.

It is amazing the sickening lengths you cultists go to with your statements.

 

[leftwinger]

They weren't "hookers" you moron. They were underage girls.

They wete getting $300/visit in NY. Not always age 15. Only with Epstein or on the plane. When they got old they got shipped to work jobs at the islands.

I don't follow it at all. Nothing but fairy tales to get a settlement.

I heard yesterday there were two islsnds. One worser. Where obammy went.

Not interested. No one was forced. No one was chained up. Street hookers go thru 10000X worse.

You and your sheeeaaatt bags don't care about 15-30 age girls. "Victims" lol! You are just desperate to trash our Great President Trump You pile of cat puke.//

 

[g5000]

I see. So you believe you can **** underaged girls, eh? After all, they can voluntarily do so, right?

Wow. Blaming the victim. Incredible.

You are no different than Epstein. Do you even understand how fucked in the head you are allowing yourself to become in your desperate attempts to cover for Trump?

There really is no bottom to your sickness.

 

[g5000]

This administration answers to no one but Trump. You stay until he throws you under the bus.

I called it before Trump made his comeback. Only the most craven people would take his call to come work for him in a second term.

Every last one of them actually bleevs they can lie with impunity. Even when they see other Trump lickspittles get caught brazenly lying, they are congenitally incapable of telling the truth.

We already knew Lutnik is a ******* retard, but to see him actually go to an interview and make his insanely hilarious claims about his relationship with Epstein is still stunning to see.

Just when you think they have hit bottom, Trump and his criminal mob always find a way to shock.

"I want to bleev it so it must be true!"

******* pathetic.

Lutnick, Miller, Vance, Bondi, Leavitt, etc., etc.

Whenever I see one of them speak, it's like I'm watching Hulk Hogan doing a campaign stump speech. Why do they have to do this??? I can't help but wonder what they're thinking, and I can't help but wonder if they've specifically been trained to behave like that. Or maybe that's just their intellectual level.

I'm not going to use certain words or names here, but I also always wonder if it was like this in European history. Do those who are kept close to the flame always become these weird, combative, hyperbolic zombies like this? And how does that happen? Are certain people somehow predisposed to falling into this condition?

****, this is nuts. America really has been exposed now. Cat's out of the bag. We're the world's biggest trailer park.

How do you know he’s lying?

What about the age of consent?
