Labor Secretary Acosta Explains Epstein Actions

And what actual relevance does that have to the fact the Republican controlled Senate approved his appointment? Or do you think the Republicans actually care about ethics?

 

Here is a part of it. Note Trump being on the witness list. No wonder he owed Acosta.


The committee needs to ask about, and you’re entitled to respond to, an article that appeared in the Washington Post online version last night and this morning, and I’m just going to read the opening to it. I’m going to ask you some questions because you deserve an opportunity to address it.
‘‘Labor nominee Acosta Cut Deal with Billionaire Guilty in Sex Abuse Case.’’ Just the first three paragraphs, and then I’ll intro- duce the article into the record.
‘‘There was once a time before the investigations, before the sexual abuse conviction, when rich and famous men loved to hang around with Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire money man- ager who loved to party. They visited his mansion in Palm Beach, FL. They flew on his jet to join him at his private estate on the Caribbean island of Little St. James. They even joked about his taste in younger women. President Trump called Ep- stein a terrific guy back in 2000, saying that ‘he’s a lot of fun to be with. It’s even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them were on the younger side.’’’
‘‘Now Trump is on a witness list in a Florida court battle over how Federal prosecutors handled allegations that Epstein, 64, sexually abused more than 40 minor girls, most of whom were between the ages of 13 and 17. The lawsuit questions why Trump’s nominee for Labor Secretary, former Miami U.S. attorney Alexander Acosta, whose confirmation hearing is scheduled to be on Wednesday, cut a non-prosecution deal with Epstein a decade ago rather than pursuing a Federal indict- ment that Acosta’s staff had advocated.’’

 

The State attorney gave Epstein the deal. The DOJ did not prosecute.

Do you want a search of his twitter archives?

 

And therein lies one of the issues

 

What issue?

 

If you got something to say then say it, try again

Oh do quote Trump saying THE FBI is a bunch of low lives else withdraw the claim.

 

With Democrat votes and this issue was vetted at the hearings and dismissed.

"The federal non-prosecution agreement required Mr. Epstein to register for life as a sex offender and plead guilty to two state felonies for soliciting underage prostitution that entailed an 18-month jail sentence. Mr. Epstein only served 13 months in jail and was allowed to leave the county facility six days a week for up to 12 hours a days for work.


This seems like a light punishment for abusing dozens of underage girls. But as Mr. Acosta has explained and contemporaneous media reports document, the local Florida prosecutor sought to charge Mr. Epstein with a single misdemeanor that would have let him walk with no jail time. Palm Beach police implored Mr. Acosta’s office to intervene.


Mr. Epstein’s high-powered lawyers then appealed to the Justice Department in Washington and tried to sully the victims and federal prosecutors. Mr. Acosta helped obtain restitution for victims while shielding them from an ugly and emotional public trial. There’s no evidence he played any role in reducing Mr. Epstein’s jail time.

Forget all that. Democrats led by Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer insinuated that Mr. Acosta a decade ago was doing a solid for his future boss. By the way, Mr. Epstein had donated $7,000 to Mr. Schumer and tens of thousands of dollars to Democratic groups during the 1990s. Mr. Schumer this week graciously offered to donate an equal sum to anti-sex trafficking groups."

They are not going to be able to retry Epstein, in Federal Court, for the federal charges Acosta already settled. Acosta blew the Epstein case and given the systematic rape of young girls, this is one he had to get right. Weirdly, Dems are eager to talk about Acosta but have shown no interest in exploring the behavior of Democrats who are neck-deep in a monstrous pedophile’s activities.

Here is a Washington Examiner column that explores that issue.

I do not think we yet know the price of the sweetheart deal Acosta cut for Epstein while he was U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida (SD-Florida). Epstein will not be retried on the charges Acosta settled.

Double Jeopardy
Geoffrey Berman, the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of New York, announced that his office has now charged Epstein. If these are the same offenses from which Acosta agreed to spare Epstein from federal prosecution if he pled guilty to state prostitution charges — which Epstein did in reliance on Acosta’s commitment, then the SDNY case against Epstein will likely be voided by the SD-Florida non-prosecution agreement.

The Non-Prosecution Agreement Was Expressly Intended to Cover Epstein ‘Globally’ for Crimes ‘Against the United States’. Acosta agreement was designed to foreclose the possibility of any federal prosecution of Epstein.

If the SDNY had a new offense, prosecutors would have charged it and avoided the double-jeopardy bar. Instead, they have claim to have collected new evidence of the same old offense on which Acosta already gave away the store.

If the search warrant was granted for crimes he had already resolved with Santa Acosta, it may be that all that video and photographic evidence will be suppressed as well.

Acosta may have let all these guys who systematically raped these young girls, off scot-free.

 

LOL..it’s Obama’s fault!
But Trump said “I pick the best people”

 

Video: Katie Johnson Claiming Trump Raped Her At Age 13 Tells Story
Katie Johnson, previously known to the public as Jane Doe. Johnson gives a disturbing testimony where she tells how Donald Trump raped her in 1994 while tied to a bed. This story came out back in October 2016. So if the mainstream media wanted to bring down Trump, then why haven't we heard of it until now? She dropped her suit against Trump after receiving death threats--anther pattern that keeps appearing with Trump and women.

Thanks to Acosta!

 

What does bath house Barry mean?

 

Acosta gave Epstein the deal.

 

Yes it got exactly five minutes interest from one Democrat. Everyone else knew the sleeze was going to slide. Our spineless Republican Senate has long capitulated ethics to Trump who has absolutly none.

 

Focus now, this has nothing to do with Trump, he kicked Epstein off his properties while the New York DA apparently welcomed him with open arms and lower his status as a sexual offender.

 

Acosta forced the State AG to send him to jail since he was going to let him off. It was a state deal.

 

He was prosecuted by Krishner, the State attorney. The DOJ (Acosta) didn't. You should be asking why.

THE DEMOCRAT WHO LET JEFFREY EPSTEIN GET AWAY
Why is no one talking about Barry Krischer?

 

Yep, trump only hires “the best people”LOL

Yep another guy he appointed is involved in a scandal. How many does this make now? But he hires, “only the best people” no president has ever appointed people more involved in scandals or resigned in these numbers

 

But Trump can claim he is draining the swamp because after all it is Trump who is firing the liars and cheaters he hired.

 

I cancelled my Cable TV service about 19 years ago because I didn't want to subsidize Fox News. As a result of this I really didn't see that much about Russia/Trump collusion during the last two years.
However there was another story I hardly heard anything about was this secret Epstein criminal case in Florida from 2006. Those two scandals sounded too much like the White Water investigation of the Clintons that turned up nothing after millions of dollars of investigation costs (Like the Vince Foster suicide, and Seth Rich murder conspiracy theories).
The mainstream media is so corrupt that it is impossible to read what is really happening in business and government. And what blows my mind are the Republicans involved like Trump, Les Waxler, Ken Starr who prosecuted Bill Clinton was one of Epstein's lawyers, and the William Barr family. Fascist Rupert Murdoch is listed in Epstein's address book, as are politicians Tony Blair, Michael Bloomberg, and Andrew Cuomo. So, only the little proletariat that thinks in terms of left and right politics. And why is Trump's administration full of Israeli nationalists?

I have noticed that since July 4th YouTube has been saturated with Fox News and the other crappy mainstream news. Also, there are hundreds of right-wing whack-a-doodles news commentators. I think the strategy here is to flood YouTube with tabloid babble to dilute any Leftist consensus that might gather on the formally relatively independent YouTube-verse.
