The only two that come to mind are McConnell’s Wife and some Dwarf Guy that worked for BJ Clinton.

Makes sense.

If Trump decided to stay in the race after the “pussy” recording was released, then Acosta can/should.

Trump was not expected to survive that. This was a major factor in everybody giving Trump essentially a zero chance of winning the election and might even be reason why Hillary's campaign took their foot off the gas and didn't even bother campaigning in battlegrounds like Michigan and Wisconsin.

The Hollywood Access tape was the thermonuclear bomb that was to deliver Hillary a guaranteed landslide victory. But they did not reckon on Trump fighting back - even as nearly the entire Republican establishment abandoned him (in cowardly fashion). Having that presser just before the 2nd debate with some of Bill Clinton's accusers was a stroke of brilliance and it took brass balls to pull off. j

Trump is one in a million. Probably the only person who could have beat Hillary that year. We were blessed and I truly hope that our reprieve from the Leftist march towards socialism and totalitarianism is not a temporary one.

So. Better that then leaving Acosta in the administration as a distraction. Maybe he thought the deal was good years ago but today it stinks. He’s an inept loser and good riddance to him. Trump needs to pick good, strong leaders who are above reproach.

Only two girls would testify then and several spoke adoringly of Jeffrey

You do know this right

The state passed on prosecuting

Acosta is a hero considering what he was up against

Bill’s mistresses didn’t attend any debate. Trump tried to make it happen, but it didn’t pan out.

“A” people hire “A” people.

“B” people hire “C” people.

How do you explain him not notifying the victims of the plea deal?

President should have never nominated him to begin with; then after it came out about Epstein during questioning before confirmation, still, allowed him to voted in.

First choice he had withdrew due to ethics issues. 2nd choice, high profile Pedophile case.

Who puts forth these names to President?

How do you explain he didn’t ?

He is on record on two would testify and had several who claimed they thought highly of Epstein

I’m sure the two willing to testify knew

Victims don’t have veto power over plea deals that I’m aware of

This case has reserved in a federal district. In NYC now why?

Does anyone know why?

It’s not about new allegations that I’m aware of.

I think some of the girls who are women now and didn’t want to testify then want justice or cash now

That’s a peculiar twist on double jeopardy unless it’s new allegations post his crimes then

...

My understanding is the law required Acosta to notify the victims about the plea deal. He didn’t do it.

It seems ambiguous to me if they didn’t want to testify

The two willing to testify knew

The case in New York is new women btw

“Bill’s mistresses didn’t attend any debate.

I don’t know about his mistresses, but some of his victims did.

“When a lewd recording of Hillary’s opponent Donald Trump discussing the ability to grope women when in power was released during the campaign, Bill Clinton’s accusers, Broaddrick, Willey, and Jones, reemerged as critics of Hillary Clinton, accusing her of enabling her husband’s alleged sexual assaults on them. THEY APPEARED AS GUESTS AT THE SECOND 2016 PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE and referenced Bill Clinton in pre-debate statements.”

The caption under a photo taken at a debate: “Kathleen Willey and Juanita Broaddrick sit at the presidential town hall debate between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton in October 2016. (Lucy Nicholson/Reuters)”
