Emailing Epstein - Sophisticated People (one even a lawyer) Being So Reckless

 It's been forever in the general news and not just legal media: How so-and-so got into the soup because of emails. No, don't put in email what you don't want made available to the media, law enforcement and more. 

This had to be known by Larry Summers, Michael Wolff and, you bet, Kathy Ruemmler who is a practicing lawyer. Yet, they obsessively communicated with Jeffrey Epstein in emails which, as we all know, now have been made public. 

So dumb was this that in Politico Richard Bradley calls Summers an "asshole." The guy is finished. There's no coming back from the tone and content of the emails. It will be only a matter of time before he will have to announce his resignation from teaching at Harvard. Smirk. What about his marriage?

Soon the media will discard Wolff, no longer giving him a forum for defending himself. How will he ever gain access again to the sources he needs to continue a career in writing? He can try creating his own megaphone through podcasting but what kind of following can he create and sustain? After her broadcast failure Megyn Kelly did come back through podcasting. But that is threatened by her recent argument that Epstein wasn't a pedophile and her alignment with the now-wounded Donald Trump.

As for Ruemmler, as yet Goldman Sacks has not made a move in response to her even maintaining an association with Epstein. As for the emails which showcase a very unpleasant human being, we have to assume the top-most tier is waiting to see if this particular part of the scandal deepens. In any event, she's already damaged goods. Because of the tension generated among Goldman employees over all this, will she decide to resign?

So how could sophisticated players behave so recklessly? My experience as an intuitive coach and tarot reader provides this answer: They live their lives assuming they operate in a protective bubble. Too much is at stake with too many of the powerful to incur any risk. Or so they think.

UPDATE:  Summers resigns from OpenAI board. Here are details from CNBC.

Global Gasp: Donald Trump Tells Off Big Banking

In a virtual back-and-forth Donald Trump does a stunner. At the World Economic Forum in Davos Bank of America head Brian Moynihan conducts a casual Q&A with the new President who's being looped in on large screen. During that, Trump tells Moynihan, along with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, to stop blocking conservatives. That is, there's an accusation that Big Banking hasn't been accepting accounts from conservatives. One could feel a global gasp. Here is more from Bloomberg. Obviously Trump is setting a brash tone for the new administration. It's very un-corporate. Business leaders, used to indirectness in communications, will have to come up with a new way of conversing with the president in public.  Low on hope about finding, holding, or moving on to better work?  Getting that back is the first step. Then you and I, as your career coach, move on to diagnosing what's in the way, trying out the solutions and creating the communications you need. Free consultat...

Apparent Second Assassination Attempt on Donald Trump: Will This Negatively Impact Harris-Walz Campaign?

" Donald Trump  was the target of a second apparent assassination attempt Sunday when Secret Service agents opened fire on a gunman at his golf club in West Palm Beach, Fla., where the former president was golfing just a few holes away." -  The Wall Street Journal , September 15, 2024 The former president is safe.  The alleged potential shooter - Ryan Wesley Routh - initially fled but was arrested soon afterward. He faces criminal charges. At this time it is unknown if he took any shots. Of course, this development has unleashed condemnation of what seems to be political violence. Also, there will be scrutiny how Routh came to possess a military-type weapon. Since he had video recording equipment there could be an outcry about how easy it is for violence to catapult a miscreant into stardom.  But there is also the very immediate issue of how this could could affect the Harris-Walz positioning in what is turning out to be a volatile and tough campaign. It is not insen...

Mr. Paul Weiss Goes to Washington

In college, backgrounders state that Brad Karp, the long-time chair of law firm Paul Weiss, toyed with the idea of a career path in politics. The specific focus was about running for Congress. Instead, though, he accepted admission to Harvard Law School (turned down the one to Yale) and that was that. Now, during the current crisis for law firms, under comprehensive attack by the Trump administration, Karp seems to be showcasing his inner politico. The guy is a smart strategist. Semafor reports that Karp has gone to Washington. There his objective seems to be to create lines of communication with a power force which, as Steve Bannon puts it, wants his firm and other elite firms out of business. Already Paul Weiss has lost one client as a result of an Executive Order. One way he is trying to connect, notes Semafor:  "Karp ... is discussing a particular path back into the administration’s good graces: helping the White House respond to alleged instances of antisemitism that came...
