  • Kathy Ruemmler, former White House counsel for Obama, emailed Jeffrey Epstein about a PR strategy for MJ White vs. Elizabeth Warren.
  • Elizabeth Warren criticized SEC Chair Mary Jo White for leniency in enforcing securities laws and allowing corporate offenders to settle without admitting guilt.
  • Mary Jo White pioneered deferred prosecution agreements (DPAs) for corporations, shielding them from accountability.
  • Ruemmler and Epstein's exchange highlights the 'Epstein class'—elites who protect each other from accountability for corporate and personal misconduct.
  • Mary Jo White later defended Les Wexner, a key Epstein associate, and the Sackler family, linked to the opioid crisis.
  • Ruemmler, once a prosecutor in the Enron case, later sided with elites against accountability, even becoming a backup executor of Epstein’s will.
  • The Epstein files reveal a network of privilege where connections matter more than ethics, reinforcing class divides in society.
  • Rep. Ro Khanna argues that elite accountability is necessary to restore public trust in democracy.
  • Democrats, including Nancy Pelosi, initially resisted Warren's criticism of White, showcasing party loyalty over accountability.
  • The rot in democracy is tied to elite impunity, where rules selectively apply to those in power.
