that Lutnick is thinking at this point in the face of overwhelming public demand that a tactical retreat is necessary to a generic individual (Epstein alone) "blackmail" position in the hopes of heading off too much attention toward foreign power involvement.

The Congress should definitely call Lutnick to testify.
