WASHINGTON — A Justice Department report has found former Labor Secretary Alex Acosta exercised “poor judgment” in handling an investigation into wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein when he was a top federal prosecutor in Florida.
The report, obtained by The Associated Press, is a culmination of an investigation by the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility over Acosta’s handling of a secret plea deal with Epstein, who had been accused of sexually abusing dozens of underage girls.

So why are they coming out with this news now? Interesting timing, is it not?
My guess: Trying to cover their butts before Trump becomes the clear 2020 winner and goes after corruption in their ranks.
And let’s not even discuss the piss poor security in the NY jailhouse.
WOW the justus dept is really on top of things. What was this, 10 years ago?
I guess Durham will have results in 2030 and in 2035 we’ll find out the 2020 election was stolen
“Poor judgment” or quid pro quo.
I still wonder if he is really dead or off somewhere put in hiding by someone powerful.
Looks to me like Acosta was the Designated Fall Guy for BJ and GWB, his “brother from another mother.” IMHO Acosta, a new U. S. Attorney, was told what to do to let Epstein off and protect BJ and many other higher ups, held his nose, and did just that. I’ve worked in similar situations and know how things work.
I totally agree. I think he left under the gurney (like an old magician's trick).
Where do you think, Haifa?
The entire justice dept was turned in to a joke by the magic negro.
Worthless mookabooker that obama is and was.
Costa Rica, Tailand? Lots of weird sex in Tailand.
“Mistakes were made....”
“Discretion” is the widget that facilitates multi-tier justice.
The legal standard for abuse of discretion is huge. Fact is that what many refer to as two-tier justice is, as a matter of law, the rule of law.
Law is designed to be uneven while pretending to be even. To favor the powerful and to punish threats to the players. While it is doing that, the law will dishonestly claim it is blind and even. The written record will never reveal the secret truth, “discretion.”
The rot precedes and dwarfs the usurper.
Anyone promoted or hired by TMN should have been at very least shipped out of the DOJ.
Usually any incoming president asks for the resignation of all appointed prosecutors.
The Donald, not being a lifelong politician did not know enough to fill those position had he done so.
