Trump rewarded the prosecutor who illegally gave Epstein a sweetheart deal while hiding the process from Epstein's victims, with a cabinet position. Acosta broke several laws while coddling Trump's pedophile buddy.
The recent arrest of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire financier, on federal child sex trafficking charges brings renewed attention to the fact that the man who oversaw his 2008 sweetheart plea deal — Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta — still has a job.
Acosta oversaw the deal for Epstein in 2008 when he was the top federal prosecutor in Miami. Now, many people are using the Twitter hashtag “AcostaResign” to demand he step down from his role as labor secretary.
In February, a federal judge ruled that under Acosta, federal prosecutors broke the law when they concealed a plea agreement with Epstein from dozens of underage survivors of Epstein’s sexual abuse. In his opinion, Judge Kenneth A. Marra said that not only did prosecutors violate the Crime Victims Rights Act by not telling the victims about the deal, but prosecutors also led victims to believe the FBI’s case against him was ongoing. Thanks to those prosecutors, Epstein pleaded guilty in state court to two prostitution charges and served 13 months in Palm Beach County Jail.
The deal also included language that gave immunity to “any potential co-conspirators’’ involved in his crimes, according to the Miami Herald. The Herald identified nearly 80 girls who said they were victims of Epstein and were anywhere from 13 to 16 years old when the abuse occurred.I mentioned that. But Bill Clinton didn't pay off the prosecutor who broke the law getting Epstein out of trouble. Donald Trump did. If either of them had anything to do with Epstein's abuse of children, they should spend the rest of their lives in jail. Meantime, Trump does express some sympathy for one of the "victims":
“I feel very badly actually for secretary Acosta because I’ve known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job,” said Trump, who previously called Epstein “a terrific guy”.
Neither Trump, nor Epstein, nor Acosta are Hollywood figures. And it's disgusting that anyone would say "It's O.K., everyone does it."
When donaldtrump loses the election next year, will you start advocating justice?
