A US District Court judge in Miami has ruled that Trump Administration Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta violated federal law a decade ago while serving as US District Attorney in Miami, in the case of Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire accused of trafficking under-aged girls into prostitution.
Acosta kept the case out of federal courts, where the penalties would have bene more severe and arranged a minimal sentence in local jails for the well-connected and wealthy perpetrator.
Where Acosta broke the law was in hiding the deal from two of the underage victims, who would have had the right to object to this kid glove treatment for Epstein had they been aware of it.
No comment yet from the White House on this latest example of Donald Trump keeping his promise to hire “only the best people.”
Should Trump fire Acosta? Will Trump’s base insist on that or look the other way?
Honestly, the evangelical “leaders” were just fine with Trump being on tape bragging about sexual assault, so I doubt they will have much problem with this. As an evangelical myself, I consider them hypocrites and complicit in Trump’s big con.
What ever this guy did and who ever else was involved…I hope gets exposed for all to see and all of them punished severely. I also hope that if any laws were broken to alleviate some of the charges, that they are all reinstated and any additional law breakers that were complicit get severely punished too. Taking sexual advantage of a minor is one of the most evil things an adult can do and all of us, regardless of politics…should find common ground here. All involved need to be severely punished.
You are precisely right. Now anytime I hear a right-wing talkie spout off about what the left is “getting away with” I know it is the right-wing traitor tribe that is engaging in the criminal conduct. The just love to project theirs upon others.
And i need to change my pants from laughing so hard…twice youve attempted this narritive of cons having standards…yes a pedo was helped…that’s your bar…meanwhile we can look at the white house and the con job being worked over us…mm
“I’ve known Jeff for fifteen years. Terrific guy. He’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it – Jeffrey enjoys his social life.”
