Epstein and Larry Summers. Palast Investigates

Investigative journalist Greg Palast joins The Rick Smith Show to tear open the newly uncovered emails between Harvard’s Larry Summers and Jeffrey Epstein — emails in which the very-married Summers leans on the convicted predator as his “wingman,” seeking tips on how to seduce a young economist he was mentoring.

Palast lays out how Summers — Clinton’s Treasury Secretary and Obama’s National Economic Council Director — helped engineer the global deregulation spree that detonated economies from Wall Street to Latin America. And he returns to the infamous secret “End-Game” memo he first exposed in VICE: a blueprint showing how U.S. Treasury insiders quietly colluded with a cabal of banking titans to bulldoze financial protections worldwide.

Will this Epstein scandal finally push Democrats to cut loose the high priest of neoliberalism? Is this the long-overdue Summers reckoning?
