Former White House legal counsel/fixer to Barack Obama, and former personal lawyer/fixer of Susan Rice, Kathryn Ruemmler was Chief Legal Counsel for Goldman Sachs for the past six years.
Throughout those jobs and networked professional relationships, Kathryn Ruemmler was also a personal friend and advisor to Jeffrey Epstein.
Yesterday it was reported that Kathryn Ruemmler has resigned from Goldman Sachs.
NEW YORK – Goldman Sachs’s top lawyer, Kathryn Ruemmler, resigned on Thursday in the wake of the Justice Department’s release of emails and other material that revealed her extensive relationship with Jeffrey Epstein, the disgraced financier.
Ms. Ruemmler and representatives for Goldman said for years that she had a strictly professional relationship with Mr. Epstein, a convicted sex offender. But emails, text messages and photographs released late last month upended that narrative, leading to Ms. Ruemmler’s sudden resignation, which surprised many inside the firm.
Before joining Goldman in 2020, Ms. Ruemmler was a counselor, confidante and friend to Mr. Epstein, the documents showed. She advised him on how to respond to tough questions about his sex crimes, discussed her dating life, advised him on how to avoid unflattering media scrutiny and addressed him as “sweetie” and “Uncle Jeffrey.”
Mr. Epstein, in turn, provided career advice on her move to Goldman, introduced her to well-known businesspeople and showered her with gifts of spa treatments, high-end travel and Hermes luxury items. In total, Ms. Ruemmler was mentioned in more than 10,000 of the documents released by the Justice Department.
Ms. Ruemmler, in addition to being Goldman’s general counsel since 2021, was a partner and vice chair of its reputational risk committee. She earlier served as White House counsel under President Obama and was a white-collar defense lawyer at Latham & Watkins. (read more)

Anyone tied to Barry Soetoro can rot in hell as far as I am concerned, but this is another example of what I believe Trump resisted the release of the files: media giving the files ‘context’. Outside the heroic efforts of Elon with X and others out there, namely here, we are giving ‘the files'(which are curated anyway) to those in the media that are on the payroll of who knows.
Yep, I was thinking this very thing.
The timing is important. She worked for Obama and was advising Epstein at the same time.
IMO, It is obvious that not only was Barry Park’s birth certificate fraudulent, created by the CIA, but Barry Park himself was a creation of the CIA. One of many False Flags produced by our government.
Didn’t Mike Zullo prove that Obama’s birth certificate was an altered version of the birth certificate of a girl who was born on the same day as O’Bummer? That it was a cut and paste job. Zullo had two of the world’s leading forensic companies look at it and both determined it was fake. One forensic company’s CEO was a big Obama supporter yet he came to the conclusion that Obama’s birth certifakeit was fraudulent.
I believe Barry has been rotting for most of his life and some of the rot has now reached his thin skin. Like they said after they cut the tail off of the monkey, they said, “Well, it won’t be long now.”
Good; let those who wanted the “files” spread far and wide because they thought it would get Trump reap the whirlwind.
Now, let’s get back to letting those in Congress that depend on election fraud to be there continue to out themselves by pushing back against the SaveAct.
I fear the SAVE Act is DOA in the Senate. The only reason Thune agreed to have a standing filibuster is that he knew there would be 4 holdouts. We are left hoping that Collins will ultimately do the right thing (see Justice Kavanaugh) and change her mind. Tillis and McConnell have the McCain version of TDS and Murkowski – that’s a whole other issue.
The holdouts are negotiating their individual prices for their votes, tis all. It is the way of the Vulture.
The RINOs make more money selling their votes from the bottom, positioned against America becoming great again.
Easy come, easy go.
Turns out the sex lives of these elites is very perverse. Really Kathryn, children?
Sundance,
I remember when you first fingered Ruemeller as an Epstein close friend and collaborator. The known associate of Epstein was also a known associate of prominent Democrats. I wonder if her resignation will register with Massie, et. al. who insisted that this affair be blown up to the point that grand jury material become fair game for public release. So far, Trump hasn’t been touched.
Just what are those people doing? All their criminal and civil cases are sliding away into the morass of the Swamp, and now the Epstein files and the Epstein “lists” are accomplishing nothing but hurting their own kind. What is this?
You answered my question three minutes later with the Nancy Mace thing.
Guy sorry your first line caught me.off guard.coffee.spewed everywhere.
I’m probably a dummy, but I wonder if there was some good cop/bad cop, Trump, “don’t say I didn’t warn you” thing going on between Trump, Massie and others to get these things out. It would be classic Trump to do something like that. It’s his original idea, but if it’s just him, noone will do it. Everyone wants to do the opposite of what he wants or says, he takes the opposite of what he wants and just rolls with it.
Maybe she can sell that handbag that Epstein bought for her on Etsy for a couple of bucks.
She isn’t leaving until June.
Time enough to get a book deal done. She’ll be fine. Let’s see where she lands.
Think tank, institutional gig, run a group of well-paying NGOs? She’ll be fine.
With the rumors that were going around, Wayfair might be a better place to market it.
GS paid her $17.6 million last year. Nice work if you can get it.
XO XO XO!
Predictable.
I’m surprised there weren’t any emogi hearts or something
💖😜
Has that Ruemmler woman and samantha power ever been seen in the same room together?
Another person was with Kathy on her tropical holiday when she considered spending a day on the island. She mentions “Lisa”. “Lisa” saw the potential fallout from a visit, & declined.
No mention of Kathy discussing the ebola outbreak & its political implications/potential election impacts with Epstein in 2014.
Epstein was close to Nathan Wolfe of Metabiota years before the ebola outbreak, and years before the RSTP/Hunter Biden investment.
In Oct 2014, during the ebola outbreak, Epstein was asked if he would help researchers from Weill Cornell Medical (Francis Barany) & UNC with an early diagnostic for ebola.
Why would researchers with funding from their institutions, as well as from US AMRIID, NIH, CDC, &Stoney Brook (Brookhaven) need Epstein’s help?
This is the actual 80% of concern.
The other 20% evidences Epstein’s moral & ethical depravity.
Somehow, he was positioned to be an important gatekeeper of science & technology policy including public health, with reach into the WH.
Good riddance Kathy.
Old Barrack said it well, “When is enough, enough. In Barrack’s case and most others the answer is never.
“Why would researchers with funding from their institutions, as well as from USAMRIID, NIH, CDC, & Stoney Brook need Epstein’s help?” Money there is never enough money for people like this.
The grift that has been uncovered so far is beyond what I thought could be possible. It is billions leading to trillions. Nothing good is accomplished, it is just stolen.

There was another substack detailing the investment complex around epidemics and vaccines. JP Morgan, Event 201, the works.
These people are so stupid. It boggles the mind. Even a hunting dog knows how to keep his nose out of a trap.
Those people are so casual about the Epstein lifestyle, because in their world, among the people they interact with, the things Epstein was selling were not that unusual. They never worried about accountability because accountability was unheard of.
Since they always houng POTUS about his people I assume the press
will be asking Obama about this lady?
Which is it today? This article highlights democrats (now Rice’s ex-attorney Goldman attorney Ruemmler) embroiled in Epstein criminality.
The following (most recent) article discusses Epstein as, once again, a nothingburger that republicans political opponents (e.g. Massie, MTG, and now Mace) resurrect and leverage for personal gain.
Meantime, Bondi has arrested NOBODY of consequence these past 13 months — Epstein related or myriad other crimes…then she went ad hominem and tangential in front of Congress this week.
Don’t need the two hop rule for her OR Obama. They both have been in Epstains presence! Let the trials begin.. 😎
Many of these “victims turned perpetrators” were made to sign NDAs to get their payoffs from the estate & banks. In effect, they traded 💰 for any supposed “justice” they sought.
Sorry ladies, you already got the cake & there will be no ice cream on top.
You are now free to depart with your cash & seek out a dignified life.
And you blame them?
Please go find the CNBC interview this morning between Sorkin and the Goldman Sachs CEO. Ruemmler was given the greatest eulogy ever…valued member of the leadership team, instrumental in this, that and the other…
I hope someone is able to read and coalesce how Ruemmler used her “female” charms in correspondence to manipulate males.
Just imagine if a male had been in the same situation. Do you really think the Goldman Sachs CEO would be fawning all over him?
Not one bit.
Nicole Wallace’s guest calls the Trump administration “the Epstein administration”. Wallace is the wife of Obama’s FBI Director Comey media mouthpiece, NYT’s Mike Schmidt.
Wallace aired this on the same day that I and others exposed Kathy Ruemmler, the top Obama lawyer and fixer, as a close friend and business partner of Epstein.
Ruemmler, an executor of the Epstein estate, was effectively Epstein’s personal lawyer and helped him to fight off legal cases and journalist inquiries. Ruemmler had Epstein paid tens of millions on deals she negotiated with the Obama DoJ. Eric Holder, Obama’s wingman, is a close friend of Reid Weingarten, who was Epstein’s personal lawyer and with whom Ruemmler had a long affair.
Ruemmler arranged for John Brennan, Obama’s CIA director, to meet with Epstein. Ruemmler is best buddies with another Obama lackey, Lisa Monaco, for whom she was arranging the trip to the Epstein Island. Ruemmler was Susan Rice’s lawyer as well.
The Obama Administration is the Epstein Administration

Nicole Wallace is the most despicable of the MSNOW propagandists. She just may be the reincarnation of Joseph Goebbels. Goebbels had a deformed right foot while Wallace has a deformed brain.
While everyone else seems to be focusing on Epstein’s girls (many of whom were actually adults), I have been watching his other activities. It looks like an intelligence op. Spies use sex to ply their trade but they do all sorts of other things too. Add in the connections of Epstein’s and Maxwell’s connections to multiple intelligence agencies and the long-term secrecy.
She was an excellent choice for the reputational risk committee. Good advice on how to dodge dodgy associations and friendships. But then Karma. She was a new name as were some of the UK and EU that are falling.
I want names of the people that were involved with children. What does Pizza, Jerky, and White Tuna mean?
Who allowed the 500,000 children to come in alone. The groups involved need to be arrested too.
The sender of the torture video just got canceled.

Wow, look at all that control of ports, eh?
Might having an entree with a company that controls ports be of use in trafficking everything from weapons to children?
Do you remember that shipping container scene from Sound of Freedom? Or that a large number of children trafficked across our southern border were delivered to a lot that was vacant next to a shipping container lot?
The DP presence in Africa is also of national interest.
I’m sure she will be hired by some commiedem ngo or law firm.
Finally, this kind Mr. Epstein, a benefactor of humanity with his friend Bill Gates and the JP Morgan bank, for the creation of an economic model for pandemics, was an arbitration and compensation chamber
Into the dustbin she goes.
Had no idea who this charming witch was until Sundance pointed her out.
Maybe the REAL reason they fired her was because she stunk at her job./s
“Ms. Ruemmler, in addition to being Goldman’s general counsel since 2021, was a partner and vice chair of its reputational risk committee.”
Who else besides her was considered informed enough to be on Goldman’s “Reputational Risk Committee”?
If we had a real press, they would let us know.
I think there was a young singer had a hit song about “irony”, no?
Alanis Morissette, “Ironic” was the song.
I always thought a decent English teacher could use it as an example of too many similes. But some were good, particularly the black fly in the Chardonnay.
I am better off for not knowing the depths of others’ depravity.
Our 1st Mulatto president was a total bust.
She deserves what she gets. Playing footsie with Epstein was a dumb move.
We certainly know why Merrick Garland did not mess with this. Some of the main blow back has washed over prominent Democrats. Hahaha!
Obama had garbage humans in his administration. One I found particularly annoying was that midget Robert “The Third” Reich. He was always on TV being interviewed while sitting on a high chair and a stack of books.
So does Katarina Ruemmler do Playboy now?
