I agree
Oh really.
How could holder be AG during bush term, 2006,2007??
FWIW, I don’t see how any honorable man or woman involved in the process could have stuck around after that decision was made.
Unless Acosta was a complete idiot, he knew something smelled. He was complicit by his silence.
was entirely responsible for the Obama administration officials and the Democrat politicians who refused to investigate or prosecute Jeffrey Epstein.
————————————
Duh. The so called investigation was during 2006, 2007. Plea discussions with acosta during early 2008. Pled guilty in oct 2008.
Guess who was president until Jan 2009? Thats right GEORGE BUSH. And guess who wasnt the AG? HOLDER.
In other words your detecting leaves something to be desired. FACTS. SIMPLE easily found FACTS.
“Duh. The so called investigation was during 2006, 2007.”
There was no investigation by the FBI except on paper.
How many of the underage girls that Epstein used did the FBI interview and get statements from that could be used for prosecution?
How many forensic analyses did the FBI do on Epstein’s properties?
Mueller was head of the FBI at the time.
The federal prosecutors told Acosta that they could not win in court.
Pls share what type of fbi investigation takes place only on paper?
Acosta was not an Assistant U.S. Attorney; he was the U.S. Attorney and he signed the agreement not to prosecute Epstein.
He wasn’t the big boss. That was Eric Holder. Acosta was told to back off.
Only, in this case, it WASN’T Eric the Holder, it was Alberto Gonzales....under W Bush.
This plea deal was before the election....2007 and 2008.
“Acosta was not an Assistant U.S. Attorney; he was the U.S. Attorney and he signed the agreement not to prosecute Epstein.”
You are correct, Acosta was a U.S. Attorney not Assistant U.S. Attorney.
While serving as the U.S. Attorney for Southern Florida, Acosta did approve an arrangement that required Jeffrey Epstein to plead guilty to two state prostitution charges, serve jail time, register as a sex offender, and pay restitution to three dozen victims identified by the FBI.
Acosta was not directly involved in the agreement. Prosecutors had determined it was the best available solution. The prosecution team said conviction by trial in federal court was unlikely.
The FBI under Mueller refused to investigate and support the prosecution.
Federal Prosecutors said they could not win in court and this was the best deal they could get. Higher up officials at the DOJ were against going to court.
Of course, we could wait for some facts before we jump to conclusions, right?
Yes we could. But the known facts to date are overwhelmingly bad for acostas actions. “Just following orders “ has never been an adequate defense.
