19. I can't figure Lutnick out.

He's not calling for the files to be released, but implies he's clean and should have nothing to fear.
I'm sure he knows that Trump and a lot of other people were involved, but gives a long interview where he implies that many people were being blackmailed by Epstein. Again with an implication that Trump may be one of those Epstein blackmailed. Unless Trump was on the inside and using the information Epstein gathered for his benefit.
So, is Lutnick protecting Trump? If so, that's a strange way to do it.
Maybe the interview is a shot across Trump's bow; a warning not to cross some line.
It's all so weird.

This is all my speculation but the smell coming up from all this makes a skunk smell sweet.
