Acosta will be missed in the Trump Administration. He was doing amazing work. Acosta graduated from Harvard so he was the best of the best. It’s a shame that libs made up fake news in order to get this guy out of office. What they did to him and his career should be illegal. Everybody thought the deal he made with Epstein was a good thing back then. Everybody was happy. Suddenly they’re not happy anymore.
Consider that in a typical campaign work on identifying the members of the Administration begins as soon as the nomination is likely to be awarded. Once a candidate receives the nomination of a major party, they start to receive federal funding to support this activity. While the Cabinet secretaries are “featured” positions there are about 5000 jobs to fill. Its a big job. When Obama won his first term, his transition team received roughly a million resumes from job seekers.
Trump did not start a transition effort in spring 2016, until Chris Christie proposed he start one up. But in November, the reports are that Jared Kushner dismissed the Christie effort, tossed all the work so far and started over.
Actually, the right will be pleased with this. General view was that Acosta was not moving quickly enough in efforts to strip workers of protections. Epstein provides a nice cover for putting someone in who will be more in tune with the administration’s pro-business, anti-populist agenda.
