Alexander Acosta Out As Labor Secretary Over Cushy Jeffrey Epstein Plea Deal
As a U.S. attorney in Miami, Acosta helped devise a secret agreement granting the accused child sex trafficker immunity from federal prosecution.
Another fine Trump appointee
New low for the GOP
Notice how they never mention the Democrat prosecutor's part in all this:
- Alexander Acosta on Wednesday blamed a former Florida state prosecutor for mishandling the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.
- Acosta said at a press conference that Barry Krischer intended to let Epstein off with no jail time despite allegations that he solicited sex from underage girls.
- Krischer, a Democrat, prosecuted a case against Rush Limbaugh. He is also the namesake of a YWCA humanitarian award.
Oh I’m sure if you look hard enough you can find a democrat somewhere low on the totem pole.
How did Acosta get this job? Was it payback for letting trumps buddy go?
You’d b asking if this was Bill Clinton in the whitehouse wouldn’t cha?
