One of the Democrats favorite defenses is,

“Yeah, but look at this Republican over here!”

This takes away that defense.

Makes it harder for them to muddy the issue.

And they are really trying to muddy the issue.

This would be a good time to eliminate the Department of Labor, along with most other Cabinet-level departments, save Defense, Treasury, and State.

re: “Acosta has defended the arrangement, “

He didn’t double-down and feed it to the dems SUCH that they would understand.

We aren’t in normal times working with ‘normal’ people, they need something that used to be called “object lessons” so they can learn and understand (or vice versa) ...

Partial Credit: Name any two of the last ten labor secretaries.

How about one.

The most memorable: James Donovan for his famous quote when he was aquitted-
'The question is, should this indictment have ever been brought? Which office do I go to to get my reputation back? Who will reimburse my company for the economic jail it has been in for two and a half years?''

One I remember was that Robert Reich under Clinton. The chief Dem Perez was another one.

Since All of the People in the First Criminal Case against Epstein have received Immunity from Prosecution, Epstein included for this Case from 12 years ago, WHY ISN’T ALL THE EVIDENCE A PUBLIC RECORD and Available to everyone. That should have been Acosta answer, RELEASE ALL OF IT NOW and hand a Thumb Drive to the Press.!!

No.

This is different.

Epstein is going to take down a lot of scumbags.

There is no reason for President Trump to expend any political capital to defend an indefensible plea agreement on behalf of a profoundly corrupt and evil man with deep ties to Dems and Swampy Republicans.

And a pawn at that.

Acosta is not important.

Epstein’s vile tentacles and enablers are important.

Trump has been going after sex traffickers with a vengeance.

A lot of prominent Dems will be revealed, and their reputations destroyed. Some might even go to jail.

That is all that really needs to be said. It’s all that CAN be said.

But, unfortunately...

I agree with you, sharkboy.

Way too many federal government agencies, bureaucrats and regulations.

But we do not know for sure Acosta was involved.
I’m reading it was a local and State issue.
Not a Federal Issue.

Good riddance. Trump needs to pick better people to staff his administration.

Just lovely. Now the Dimwits get to do a confirmation hearing at election time.

Acosta got more punishment than the state, so he’s good there, but I don’t see how he can excuse not notifying the victims of the plea deal.

If Trump decided to stay in the race after the “pussy” recording was released, then Acosta can/should. Everyone except Jared was advising him to drop out, but he stuck with it — then doubled down and had Bill’s victims sitting front and center at the debate two days later. The GOP are such wimps.
