Labor Sec. Acosta accused of helping Jeffrey Epstein beat sex trafficking charges

Anonymous
If you're interested in a deep dive, take a look at Julie Brown's work at the Miami Herald on the Epstein case.

I have a hard time keeping these scandals straight anymore.


SDNY is federal. It’s the Southern District of NY. They haven’t unsealed the indictment yet. But, presumably he is being tried on different counts. If he plead down trafficking A, B and C, he can still be indicted on trafficking D, E and F. Basically, different girls. Or, charges after that arose Acosta let him off the hook. We’ll have to see the indictment Monday.

But, I don’t care who he flips on. #LockThemAllUp

Also, how does Alex Acosta still have a Job?


If it is true, then all of the above. No holds barred.

Wait, he was arrested after flying into Teeterboro? Was he going to visit Trump?

Thanks! If these new charges are Federal, could Barr interfere (presumably, to cover for Trump, Dershowitz, and other right wing perverts - yes, I know Bill may be involved)?

The GOP senators are providing quotes about how bad Epstein is. Uh, why did they vote to confirm Acosta?

He could, but that wouldn't stop state crimes from being prosecuted by the NY AG. But it would expose Barr, bigly.

Home from Paris, apparently.

I guess we will see if Trump raped an underage girl on 5th Avenue if anyone would care.
