Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]? Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day hed had just one meeting on the Epstein case. Hed cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epsteins attorneys because he had been told to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone, he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)
For what its worth...
Yes indeedy. That was the article I had read.
Truth or fiction? I hope it comes out, and the powers that be don’t leave me wondering.
