Seriously who takes their wife and children to an island

[malaise]

owned by a known pedophile?

[haele]

1. He said he, his wife, his kids and their nannies (plural) went there for lunch.

Then said they left the island with all the kids.
Odd way of putting it.

What about the nannies?
On edit, someone below had the whole quote. It still just sounds -wrong.

4. He forgot to bring his butlers

[malaise]

5. The problem here is that he lied so badly

First time around that nothing he says matters.
He should resign.
These effers are shameless

[iemanja]

14. Who is he?

[spooky3]

15. Lutnick nt

20. Thanks.

21. I know. Did he mean au pairs?

That "nannies" part was weird. I know people have them, but he described it as a family vacation.

2. "I barely had anything to do with that person"

“I did have lunch with him, as I was on a boat going across on a family vacation. My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies,” Lutnick told a congressional committee Tuesday. “We had lunch on the island, that is true, for an hour, and we left with all of my children with my nannies and my wife… I don’t recall why we did it.”

But Lutnick denied that he and Epstein, who met when they lived in neighboring houses in New York, had deeper ties.

“Of these millions and millions of documents, there may be 10 emails connecting me with him… over a 14 year period,” Lutnick told senators. “I did not have any relationship with him. I barely had anything to do with that person.”

3. With half a dozen...

Young girls?!?

[Skittles]

6. a PEDOPHILE

THAT'S WHO

[rampartd]

7. might want to sell the kids?

[MagickMuffin]

8. Someone who sells his children for favors

would be my guess.

[JBTaurus83]

9. He went to the trouble

Of going to a private island and claims he doesn’t remember why. Most likely some type of illegal financial dealing.

10. I think that story from Nutlick was a total

lie.

[choie]

11. Pigs and bastards

[struggle4progress]

13. Somebody hoping to turn a quick buck?

[xuplate]

16. I seriously doubt his family and nannies accompanied him

Movers and shakers don’t don’t drag their families along to lunch with each other.

17. Oooh ooh I know (says me raising my hand)....

Howard "The Liar" Lutnick. He found Epstein to be soooooo gross that he just had to take his whole family to dine with that man. Makes sense to me...

[TBF]

18. Hmmm ... Nutlick?

tm - Katie Phang, iykyk ... she is one of my favorite substackers. I don't think she's buying his lies either.

[Takket]

19. he was probably looking to sell his kids off........ i wouldn't put it past someone that evil

[angrychair]

22. Come on Mal

He was just driving by and said to his family and multiple nannies, "hey, well looky here, it's our next door neighbor's island, you know, the convicted pedophile, let stop here with the kids and have lunch and then immediately leave so it doesn't look weird.
So they left. Him, the wife, the kids and their only one nanny they've ever had.
