Throwing Acosta under the bus would be used as an admission of guilt. Screw the left, start pointing to the frequent flyer group. Clinton’s are grifters. They stayed close to the money, billy boy is a sex adict.

Obama decision is the Acosta action regarding Epstein. Not hard to put where it belongs.

“Throwing Acosta under the bus would be used as an admission of guilt.”

Guilt for what? If Acosta went too easy on Epstein - I’m not saying he did, but if he did - why should he immune from accountability?

If there were Dem bigwigs who partied with Epstein, did Acosta go after any of them? Should he have done so?

This is exactly why almost no Republicans will risk associating with or publicly supporting Trump.

When the Political Left attacks, Trump just walks away from his maimed and wounded Conservative “allies.”

Roy Moore, Scott Pruitt, Steve King, another Cabinet Secretary who's name I cannot recall, two of his District judge nominations who did nothing wrong, another under-Secretary at EPA who recently resigned....

Trump just walks away.

According to Acosta and his entire prosecution team, there was insufficient evidence to charge Epstein with any federal crime in 2008.

And Trump just walks way.

I heard in Trump’s words that he will find out who drove the decision, and why. That was not Acosta.

Acosta's deal with Epstein happened when GW Bush was President, and is no reflection on Trump. I want to know why the sweetheart deal was offered. Either Acosta really didn't have a case (doubtful, US Attorneys don't indict people until they have a clear path to conviction), someone ordered him to stand down, or he was made an offer. Time for Acosta to come clean.

Michael Mukasey was AG at the time, and he must have been briefed on and involved in such a high visibility case. Was he involved in declining to prosecute? If not, then who? Bush? Curiously, AG Mukasey's son, Marc Mukasey, is one of Trumps lawyers. What a tangled web!

I disagree. Acosta has some ‘splaining to do. Why did he make this deal. Did he do it on his own, or was he taking instructions from higher ups?

To get the answer, and whichever answer it is, he has to resign.
