Obama White House Counsel and Epstein Fixer Katherine Ruemmler Resigns from Top Post at Democrat Law Firm Due to Increasing Revelations About Her Close Personal Friendship with Democrat Pedophile Jeffrey Epstein

CNN buries the fact that she was Obama's top legal advisor.

Kathy Ruemmler, top Goldman Sachs lawyer, resigning amid Epstein fallout
Kathy Ruemmler, the chief legal officer at Goldman Sachs, said Thursday night she is resigning amid fallout from the Justice Department's release of millions of pages of Jeffrey Epstein documents.
Her resignation is effective June 30.
Her announcement comes as she has weathered numerous news stories in recent weeks examining her relationship with the disgraced financier.
Ruemmler and those around her have insisted she had a professional relationship with Epstein.
"Since I joined Goldman Sachs six years ago, it has been my privilege to help oversee the firm's legal, reputational, and regulatory matters; to enhance our strong risk management processes; and to ensure that we live by our core value of integrity in everything we do," Ruemmler, a former Obama White House counsel, said in a statement to CNN. "My responsibility is to put Goldman Sachs' interests first. Earlier today, I regretfully informed David Solomon of my intention to step down as Chief Legal Officer and General Counsel of Goldman Sachs as of June 30, 2026."

Look how they just snuck that in there, burying it in long boring self-justifying quote that they knew for a fact that readers would gloss over. (I know, because I glossed over it myself, and didn't notice that CNN had stealth-acknowledged her connection to Obama.)

If you didn't have conservative media to tell you better, you'd think that this was just some random rich lawyer quitting her job. You would have no idea whatsoever about what makes this newsworthy.

And she was White House Counsel to which U.S. President, CNN?

A) Washington
B) Lincoln
C) Taft
D) Obama https://t.co/ETVqFcs6sx

You mean former Obama White House Counsel Kathy Ruemmler?

Kinda weird how you left out that Obama’s top lawyer was Epstein’s fixer. https://t.co/PcnfX4StEu

She said this as she was fixing Jeffrey Epstein's many legal troubles:

2017. Jeffrey Epstein's good friend Kathryn Ruemmler explains that she ran Obama's vetting and ethics department and was responsible for vetting all of Obama's cabinet members.

Ruemmler also said that she was saddened because Trump had "debased" the Presidency.

There are some emails which have some peverted banter between guys but as been said before there is no 'List' .

What's happened though is what Trump predicted and that a lot of innocent people have been caught up in the Epstein scandal because their names were listed in the investigation files or emails that had nothing to do with Epstein directly.

104 "Her resignation is effective June 30"

So far off that if GS decides the public has forgotten the Epstein mess they will quietly shred her resignation letter, but Ruemmler and them can say "she resigned" now while they are feeling a bit of heat.

If she had 3 months vacation accrued they could ask her to leave by Mar 30 and just write her a check for the vacation pay.

112 Here's the scoop:

I think Kathy shoved Maxwell outta the way to fool around with Jeffrey. Why is beyond me except he gave her expensive handbags and a watch.I can't remember if he got her an apartment, as that sounds mistressy. It doesn't seem worth it to me.

Maybe he had something to offer other than $ but I doubt it. He ain't that good to look at. Maybe he was witty and liked to give gifts.

Which boils down to what does Obungo have to hide with Epstein, eh?

I could have never been a star because if Weinstein even looked at me I'd projectile vomit towards him, fully clothed, as he hung with Oprah. Much less go to his hotel room and be greeted by him in a robe. For a movie role and Oscar. No thanks!

Posted by: vmom deport deport deport at February 13, 2026 06:33 PM (f/buw)\

There are multiple layers possible. One is due to the social stigma of being that tight with a convicted PDFFile.
One is possible Mee-tooing by underlings for the above
One is possible the financial entanglements between banks, agencies and governments that ostensibly were completely separate
One is that Epstein was a CIA fixer and the CIA is busy burning everyone that might lead, like a bridge, to their actions in funding covert and illegal action throughout the globe
There is also the fact that so many references in the files about "pizza" and "jerky" by multimillionaires who probably don't eat pizza and jerky so it is an attempt for a "limited hanging out to dry" to avoid attention on whatever those snack foods are supposed to represent

My goodness, we are supposed to say, I don't understand the sterling morals of less than sterling individuals, and all this about partying on an island? It is a mystery

130 True story:

I was a battalion medic, and an NCO came up to start an annual physical. One of the first parts of the exam was an eye test. He was wearing glasses. I asked him about his prescription, and he said, "these are not prescription." Sure enough, his eye-sight was 20-20.

First time I ever saw eyeglasses as an affectation. But this NCO was a turd whom I would never trust in battle.

If Epstein's central importance was money laundering and inside information rather than pimping, maybe Kathryn Ruemmler was let go by Goodman Sachs because of the financial / confidentiality issues. It could be just general PR damage control.

180 Depending on how they did the name tags, you could have some fun with that. Swap some names around, or better yet, retag everything to one person (preferably the office asshole) so that they get everything. The jealousy and back-biting over a clear case of cheating would be delicious.

196 Reid Weingarten was banging Ruemmler like a screen door in a hurricane when she left the Hopey-Changey White Hut in 2014. (Might be an overstatement of Weingarten's abilities. More like a microwave door at 2AM).

She was warned off by the other woman Reid was seeing at the time... his wife.

I wonder how many times Reid has been on the Conflicts Committee at Steptoe [Johnson]. Regardless, he had introduced Kathryn to Uncle Daddy Jeffrey and he was gate-keeping some desirable accounts, one of which rhymes with "Mothwilds."

Like a pair of thighs on a private sugar sand beach, the gates soon opened for Kathryn's account responsibilities at Latham Watkins. "Uncle Daddy Jeffrey spoiled me!"

Sure, Epstein bought and traded women and girls like baseball cards. That was a personal interest that had professional uses. His primary business was the second-oldest profession (no, not a J-urinalist). He traded information, from and to anyone. Are we pretending he didn't?

Skidmark would have put her in the AG's office to replace Eric Withholder. She didn't want to answer confirmation hearing questions with that whole oath/perjury issue over her head like Damocles' sharp cutty-thingy.

216 @193...for starters I guess they practice how to "cry pretty." And wear waterproof mascara?

I rarely cry or get tears in my eyes unless they are happy tears.

I sure as heck don't cry pretty or in public. I'd rather not, thanks!

While I am sure it is cathartic as they get so worked up, I look at Lindsey Vonn, who may lose part of her leg the break was so bad. While she may have cried on the slopes, she hasn't for the cameras so far.

I thought this when they said they had to do the second surgery to relieve pressure. I am assuming post-op and hope I am wrong, as it became more of a fx leg to me then.

I am guessing she had a fasciotomy for compartment syndrome from the first surgery to set the complex fractured tibia.

I hope she recovers with her leg intact. Very difficult recovery ahead. She's no wimp, that's for sure and seems positive.
