Ed just wrote about the ignominious fall of Kathryn Ruemmler, Obama's White House Counsel and choice for Attorney General of the United States, a job she declined in 2014. 

Ruemmler wasn't just close to Epstein; she was a close advisor to him both when she was in the White House, continuing the relationship up to his death. She gave him legal and PR advice, and invited him to meetings with former government officials such as...John Brennan (Hmmm...), and as Ed pointed out, she called him "uncle" when he gave her expensive gifts. 

The next media cover up

They won't tell you that Obama lawyer Ruemmler was friends with CIA Director John Brennan, and was organizing a meeting between Brennan and Epstein in the middle of Russiagate Conspiracy against President Trump. https://t.co/If3J6jwD75 pic.twitter.com/UEu9CoE4vl

The media are so desperate to protect Obama, they are not telling you that: 

-Epstein was consulting his best buddy, Obama lawyer, Kathy Ruemmler, on negotiation with Obama about possible AG position 

-Epstein's personal lawyer Reid Weingarten was a close friend of Obama's wingman Eric Holder

-Lisa Monaco was planning to visit the Epstein island with Kathy Ruemmler

-Obama lawyer and Epstein buddy Ruemmler represented Susan Rice during Russiagate, and discussed it with Epstein

To call her a power player is an understatement of such magnitude that it amounts to comparing Mount Hood to Mount Everest. Lobbyists are power players in Washington; Ruemmler had the ear of the most powerful people in the world, which is how she wound up being the top lawyer at Goldman Sachs, the job from which she just resigned. 

Hi Wall Street Journal, here’s a better headline for you: Obama’s close friend and former White House counsel Kathryn Ruemmler is OUT at Goldman Sachs after her deep connection to Jeffrey Epstein was exposed by documents released by the Trump administration.

Ed describes some of the connections between Ruemmler and Epstein, although there is vastly more out there; she wasn't just "connected" to Epstein. Her relationship was, if anything, closer to Epstein than Larry Summers', although, admittedly, she probably didn't take advice from him on how to bed conquests. 

Instead, she consulted with him on whether to take the job of Attorney General of the United States, and did damage control for him because they were so close. 

It genuinely makes me sick to my stomach that Kathryn Ruemmler was joking with Epstein about sending “your Russians” to perform sexual favors on her behalf.

It genuinely makes me sick to my stomach that Kathryn Ruemmler was joking with Epstein about sending “your Russians” to perform sexual favors on her behalf. This woman was about to be US Atty General under Obama. She’s still top lawyer at Goldman! She was joking about sex slaves! We know Epstein purchased his “assistants” when they were children! The liberal world order can burn in hell

Ed and many Republicans keep talking about how the Epstein files fiasco has turned out to be a self-own by the Democrats, and that is obviously correct if you only count the individuals who have been taken out by the revelations. 

But I think it misses the fact that Pravda and the Democrats have done a pretty good job of repeating—and getting their followers to believe—that Donald Trump is the "pedophile protection president." 

In their "limited hangout" piece today about Obama's top lawyer and Epstein buddy Kathy Ruemmler, the CNN failed to report the following:

-Ruemmler consulted Epstein on Obama's offer of the Attorney General position.

-Ruemmler consulted Epstein on Obama's offer of the Attorney General position. 

Obama is referred to as the "boss" and was "in town" for the UN General Assembly where Epstein and Ruemmler were meeting various guests. 

Epstein referred to former Obama Attorney General Eric Holder by first name only, indicating familiarly, and instructed Ruemmler to "speak to Eric" about the AG position. Ruemmler's main concern was having to give up her expensive NYC apartment, Epstein was trying to find someone to pay for it . That apartment was being paid for by Ruemmler's firm Latham and Watkins. 

-Ruemmler's key clients at Latham and Watkins, such as the Rothschilds, were brought in by Epstein via his personal lawyer with whom she had a long affair. Epstein was the "gatekeeper. On just one deal, Epstein received USD 25 million and Ruemmler received USD 10 million. That deal was Rothschild's bank settlement, on extremely advantageous terms for the bank, with the Obama DoJ of the tax evasion case. Emails show Epstein arranging the deal with the Rothschilds and Kathy Ruemmler. 

-Ruemmler was a lawyer for Obama's lackey Susan Rice in 2018, specifically on a Russiagate matter. During the Obama-Trump transition, Obama instructed his then-National Security Advisor Susan Rice to hide information from the incoming Trump team, and  specifically from President Trump's National Security Advisor Michael Flynn. Rice wrote a CYA email to herself about it. That letter came to light in 2018, and Ruemmler wrote a letter to the Senate blaming Trump's team and General Flynn for what was in fact an act of sabotage by the Obama team. Ruemmler falsely accused Gen Flynn of endangering National Security because of contacts with Russia. Epstein and Ruemmler discussed the letter. 

That is their line, and avid Democrats keep repeating it like a mantra. My wife works at the Minnesota Senate and gets calls all the time from outraged Democrats repeating that line, and the Democrats' propaganda campaign is working with a slice of the population (AWFLs) who are sensitive to propaganda and insenstitive to facts.

Nicole Wallace's guest calls the Trump administration "the Epstein administration". Wallace is the wife of Obama's FBI Director Comey media mouthpiece, NYT's Mike Schmidt. 

Wallace aired this on the same day that I and others exposed Kathy Ruemmler, the top Obama lawyer and fixer, as a close friend and business partner of Epstein. 

Ruemmler, an executor of the Epstein estate, was effectively Epstein's personal lawyer and helped him to fight off legal cases and journalist inquiries. Ruemmler had Epstein paid tens of millions on deals she negotiated with the Obama DoJ. Eric Holder, Obama's wingman, is a close friend of Reid Weingarten, who was Epstein's personal lawyer and with whom Ruemmler had a long affair. 

Ruemmler arranged for John Brennan, Obama's CIA director, to meet with Epstein. Ruemmler is best buddies with another Obama lackey, Lisa Monaco, for whom she was arranging the trip to the Epstein Island. Ruemmler was Susan Rice's lawyer as well. 

The Obama Administration is the Epstein Administration

Democrats are trotting out women who were "Epstein victims" to attack Trump and his administration, leaving out that they were all adults when they worked with Epstein, and none of them has actually named who did or did not abuse them. They trot out the fact that Trump and some of his associates are "named" in the Epstein files, without actually telling you what the references were to.

For instance, Trump is named as a person that Epstein hated, because Trump kicked him out of his club, dropped the dime on Epstein, and called the FBI, offering to help them. He pointed them at Ghislaine Maxwell as an "evil" collaborator with Epstein.

Yep, he was "named." But not as an offender, but as an enemy of Epstein. As high-level Democrats get exposed as collaborators of Epstein, Pravda is covering up their political prominence (White House Counsel?!), and aiming fire at people who are proven innocent. 

The propaganda campaign is massive, and even though it is not aimed at you and me, we shouldn't underestimate how it is working with an important segment of the population. Trump releases the Epstein files, Democrats are proven to have worked closely with him (Russian hookers, Bill Gates?), and yet Republicans are taking more flak in the public than the real malefactors. 

The leader of the Pedophile Protection Party is trying to deflect attention from his name being all over the Epstein files.

At least in Somalia they execute pedophiles not elect them. https://t.co/xC3Ype3zXI

Yes, individual Democrats are being taken down because you can't call Epstein "uncle," ask for advice on how to coerce women into having sex with you, or call Epstein "uncle" without being fatally hurt in public.

We live in a different information world than AWFLs and people who watch Pravda broadcasts, so we may underestimate how many people swallow this bile, thinking it is fine wine. 

Perhaps I am too cynical and pessimistic these days, but if so, I have earned that cynicism. But I am willing to bet that, outside conservative circles, the vast majority of people who read and watch Pravda have no idea that Kathryn Ruemmler was Obama's close friend and confidante.
