British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney on Sunday owned his mistake and resigned for having sold Starmer on appointing Jeffrey Epstein’s pal Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US, saying “The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong. He has damaged our party, our country and trust in politics itself. When asked, I advised the Prime Minister to make that appointment and I take full responsibility for that advice,” the AP reports.
It’s not clear what if any role White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles had in hiring Commerce Secretary Howard Nutlick, who on December 19, 2012 wrote “Hi Jeff, We are landing in St Thomas early Saturday and planning to head over to St Bart’s/Anguilla on Monday at some point. Where are you located (what is exact location for my captain)? Does Sunday evening for dinner sound good? I have another couple (Michael and Marcy Lehrman) with me on my boat, and each of us has 4 children- two 16’s, two 14’s, a 13, a 12, an 11, and a 7-year old. Thanks, Howard,” in an email included in the DOJ’s most recent tranche of the Epstein files. The email depicting Nutlick as having expressed intent to bring no fewer than eight children to the most notorious pedophile in American history’s private island was sent seven years after the now-Commerce Secretary had previously claimed he had ceased all contact with Jeff for being a creepy scumbag running a blackmail op.
Wiles probably didn’t hire Nutlick. If anything she most likely saw the news of his nomination in a CNBC chyron the morning after Nutlick sidled up to Trump at one of the transition period bacchanals at Mar-a-Lago in November or December of 2024, and Trump isn’t resigning nor is he ever firing Nutlick for it. Fucking Bari Weiss won’t even resign from CBS after hiring Epstein’s other pal, Dr Peter Attia, as a “wellness expert” – the Ellisons had to overrule her and fire the scumbag.
So yes, America and Europe are an ocean apart on accountability for Epstein pals.
