I don’t think anyone would shed a tear if the Epstein files destroyed him.

His reputation was already shot after his tenure at Harvard and that infamous memo or those statements about m female intelligence or whatever. I think his boneheaded economic policies were partly responsible for democrats losing so many seats in 2010. Had a lot of the benefits of the stimulus bill been realized earlier, I think democrats would have done much better.

TLDR: he’s basically a piece of shit. Good riddance.
