I don’t blame Acosta at all. He provided a comprehensive defense of his actions at his press conference. Now the Reps need to start linking the Dems and MSM to Epstein starting with Clinton, Schumer, and Stephy.
Acosta answered the questions about the Epstein case at his confirmation hearings. He has done a good job as Labor Secretary. No doubt, his resignation letter will say he is resigning so as not to create a distraction for the President. Acosta is not corrupt. He used his best judgment along with his career colleagues on how best to proceed. It is worth remembering that the Florida state grand jury came back with only one count against Epstein who had the best legal team money can buy.
Epstein has pleaded not guilty to the charges in NY. It remains to be seen what the outcome will be. It is curious why this new case is being brought up now and what is the real objective. Is it just another indirect attack on Trump or a way to remove the Clintons once and for all from control and influence within the Dem party. What luminaries will be implicated? I am not a conspiracy nut, but I don’t believe this all came about due to a Miami journalist. Acosta is the fall guy.
I agree with you cousin Mike.
Acosta didn’t deserve this but the decision was to get him out of the way then go after the real perverts out there.
re: “I don’t blame Acosta at all. He provided a comprehensive defense of his actions at his press conference.”
Reactive; he didn’t force-feed it down their throats, they smelled ‘blood in the water’ and came back after him. He looked meek and timid in that presser.
Psychopaths, I mean the press (same diff) ONLY respect power.
With Comey’s daughter prosecuting the Epstein case, I seriously doubt any Democrats will get outed, charged, or convicted. No, she’ll focus on Trump since he fired her daddy.

Bingo. Billy Jeff coming out with his Clintonian response is to head of something. We shall see what that is as the case unfolds. Also, I wonder if the Epstein was used to bait pols into anything that involves the sexual harassment slush fund. That secret pool that we will never learn about...
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Yes he did. I have a feeling most people did not bother to watch it.
For one thing, he said he never expected the Florida authorities would reduce the 18 months of REAL JAIL time as they did.
Secondly, he forced Epstein to pay legal bills of his accusers so they could seek restitution.
He also explained, in so many words, that the child victims were engaged in giving massages and so forth, and that they would have been attacked and shamed on the witness stand.
I am sort of sorry Acosta had to resign over this, as I do not think he is the malefactor. That would be the State people who were trying with all their might to let Epstein off the hook.
“is worth remembering that the Florida state grand jury came back with only one count against Epstein who had the best legal team money can buy.”
He would have beat the rap if they’d gone after him big time.
They got him as a sex offender.
The question is, what was the Obama DoJ doing to follow up and get him?
Nothing.
Yes, but my question is why did he not inform the victims of the deal, which he was required to do so legally?
