Chekhov’s short story, The Bet, is a good illustration of this. Among other morals.

Wait, I thought politicians had to be convicted in a court and then not win an election after conviction to be removed?
Man, those foreigners do such weird stuff.

Massie on Howard Lutnick: "He should just resign. Three people in Great Britain resigned for less than what we've seen Howard Lutnick lie about. He clearly went to the island, if we believe what's in these files. He was in business with Jeffrey Epstein."

Sorry, that was an autocorrect typo that I didn't catch before sending. I meant foreign countries, investigating their own that have been named.
Epstein Files Reveal Scope of Ghislaine Maxwell’s Role in Clinton Circle

Epstein Files Reveal Scope of Ghislaine Maxwell’s Role in Clinton Circle
Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime companion helped advise on the kickoff of the Clinton Global Initiative and arranged for $1 million in funding for it, emails show.Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime companion, Ghislaine Maxwell, played a substantial role in supporting the creation of the Clinton Global Initiative, one of President Bill Clinton’s signature post-White House endeavors, new documents released by the Justice Department show.
Ms. Maxwell took part in budget discussions related to the first Clinton Global Initiative conference; talked through challenges about it with both Clinton aides and Publicis Groupe, the company that produced the inaugural event; and arranged to wire $1 million to pay Publicis for its work on “the Clinton project,” according to emails in the massive cache of documents collected as part of the government’s investigations of Mr. Epstein.
The source of the money is unclear, including whether Mr. Epstein provided the funds. However, the emails show that he was aware of the payment.
“Ask him to tell you why i million now and where will it be going,” Mr. Epstein wrote to Ms. Maxwell a few days after she received the wiring instructions from Publicis.
Ms. Maxwell’s involvement in the launch of the Clinton Global Initiative took place in 2004, before Mr. Epstein’s 2006 indictment and 2008 guilty plea for solicitation of prostitution with a minor, and long before Ms. Maxwell, a daughter of the media baron Robert Maxwell, was sentenced in 2022 to two decades in prison for conspiring with Mr. Epstein to sexually exploit underage girls.
The emails reinforce previous accounts that Mr. Clinton and those around him had a more enduring relationship with Ms. Maxwell than with Mr. Epstein. In addition to her involvement with the Clinton Global Initiative, the records reveal that Ms. Maxwell had flirtatious exchanges in the early 2000s with Doug Band, who at the time was Mr. Clinton’s top aide.
She was already known to have attended Chelsea Clinton’s 2010 wedding along with her then-boyfriend, Ted Waitt, a tech billionaire who was a friend of the Clintons’ and a prolific Clinton Foundation donor. And she remained in the Clinton orbit even after reports began surfacing accusing her of misconduct related to Mr. Epstein’s abuse of young women. Ms. Maxwell told the Justice Department last year that she last saw Mr. Clinton sometime between 2016 and 2018, when she said they had dinner together in Los Angeles.
In a Justice Department interview last year, Ms. Maxwell said that “President Clinton was my friend, not Epstein’s friend.” Her lawyer did not return requests for comment.

Breaking: DOJ's 86-page prosecution memo listing possible co-conspirators in the Epstein case - and the victim's allegations against those possible co-conspirators -- disappeared from their website after the Miami Herald questioned them about the list. 
Im afraid this guy is about to fall out a window.
And, he flat out lied about it big time in a podcast interview.
2:53 "I was never in a room with him socially, for business, or even philanthropy."
He also had some story about how he was invited over to Epsteins and Epsetin said something about massages with happy endings and said he never talked to him again.
Other than purchasing a house for $1 from him, being a business partner with him for years after his first conviction, having extensive email communications with him for years and going to his island multiple times. He has really earned his nickname Howard Nutlick.
Tax billionaires out of existence.
Not sure I would go that far but it makes absolutely no sense to me that the highest bracket is $640K.
