Whistleblower Who Exposed Trump Goon's Ties to Epstein Found Dead

A former employee of Howard Lutnick has died months after tipping off Congress on the commerce secretary's Epstein ties.

The man who alerted Congress to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick's ties to child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein has died.

Simon Andriesz, a British former Wall Street banker who once worked under Lutnick, died by suicide at 57, The Banker reports.

Andriesz, who was living in Cornwall, England, as of July, exposed the extent of Lutnick's relationship with Epstein earlier this year when he shared a 2018 email chain with House Oversight Committee lawmakers in which Lutnick and Epstein discussed Adfin, a digital advertising company they had both invested in.

We have a government led by a kleptocratic sociopath who is surrounded by kleptocratic sociopaths.

The situation mirrors what is in Russia.

Putin kills those who get in his way or threaten him.

Another totally irrelevant 1Nutaboutism?

Who's surprised?

Anyone... no?

Deflections, obfuscations, various and sundry (look it up) other logical fallicies are all he ever has.

His bio will be titled, "The Troll Who Tried Too Hard".

The Clinton conspiracies were based upon partisan hate and partisan fantasies.

But the Epstein Files are real, Trump is in them; and Donald Trump is a criminal sociopath by any measure.

So, not the same energy at all.

Society needs to be protected. Squibs like you don't lift a finger, so it's up to others.
