Acosta was the top federal prosecutor in Florida at the time of the plea agreement. He had first-hand testimony, but still gave Epstein a light plea deal. Epstein was sentenced to 1.5 years sentence in the Palm Beach County jail system, but his sentence he...

Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Kamala Harris, got loud and out there about wanting Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta to resign over what the press dubbed a 'sweetheart deal' to Palm Beach pervert and Bill Clinton plane-riding buddy, Jeffrey Epstein. Epstein molested little girls and was repeatedly not prosecuted, except for that one time he ran into then-Miami prosecutor Acosta, who got him some small sanction. Democrats, on the other hand, who didn't have to resign for anything, had been protecting him. Not an obstacle to Kamala Harris. Here's one of her tweets: It's time for Alex Acosta to resign as Labor...

President Trump on Thursday night announced he's nominating attorney Gene Scalia, the son of the late Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, to replace Alex Acosta as secretary of labor. The surprise move -- which top Republicans privately pushed for -- was a visible manifestation of the close personal bond Trump has forged with the Scalia family in recent years. The confirmation process for Justice Neil Gorsuch, who ultimately filled Scalia's seat, sparked the connection. Scalia, 55, is currently a partner in the Washington office of the international law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. He is expected to face headwinds from...

Acosta announced his resignation Friday, saying that he phoned President Trump that morning to tell him he was stepping aside because he does not want his handling of the Epstein plea agreement to consume the administration.

The word “allegedly” can’t be stressed enough here. But the Daily Beast is a credible publication and reporter Vicky Ward has been on the Epstein beat for a long time: Epstein’s name, I was told, had been raised by the Trump transition team when Alexander Acosta, the former U.S. attorney in Miami who’d infamously cut Epstein a non-prosecution plea deal back in 2007, was being interviewed for the job of labor secretary. The plea deal put a hard stop to a separate federal investigation of alleged sex crimes with minors and trafficking.“Is the Epstein case going to cause a...

Best-selling author Vicky Ward reported Tuesday that Alexander Acosta told the Trump transition team when asked about his handling of Jeffrey Epstein's case that "I was told Epstein 'belonged to intelligence' and to leave it alone." Here's a clue as to what intelligence agency may be behind Epstein via The Memory Hole: Epstein's pals include heads of state, entrepreneurs, academics and research scientists, celebrities, and numerous beautiful women, notably Ghislaine Maxwell, daughter of media mogul Robert Maxwell (né Ján Ludvík Hyman Binyamin Hoch). Robert Maxwell, head of the Mirror Group Newspapers, was alleged to be a Mossad agent by Seymour...

There’s something fishy about the impending prosecution of billionaire financier and registered sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein. His unsealed indictment of Sunday last goes against a 2007 deal reached between his lawyers and then-US Attorney for the Southern District of Florida, Alexander Acosta – President Trump’s current US Secretary of Labor.

The very...

Shortened title. Full title: Contrary to Fake News Spin, President Trump is a Whistle-Blower Against Jeffrey Epstein, Not a Co-Conspirator The fake news is attempting to tie President Donald Trump to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, who was charged with the sex trafficking of minors on Saturday. Jeffrey Epstein's arrest makes uncomfortable reading for President Trump and his labor secretary Alex Acosta. And the U.S. Attorney’s office in Manhattan has put its public corruption unit — not its human trafficking team — in charge of the case https://t.co/7y7SF9nOsw — Tim O'Brien (@TimOBrien) July 8, 2019 Join us today at 4p...

The Labor Department’s recent proposal to revamp the Obama administration’s so-called “joint employer rule” is being lauded by Republicans and the business community. The long overdue proposed rule would limit businesses' joint legal liability with franchisees or contractors for workplace violations, revamping harmful economic regulations from the Obama administration.However, praise for the proposal comes with an important qualifier: “long overdue.” With the two-year anniversary of Labor Secretary Alex Acosta’s confirmation approaching, it is hard not to wonder: why is this Obama-era regulation only now being rolled back? Unfortunately, the same question applies to other policy areas that desperately need Secretary...

Strangely, the media have suddenly taken an intense interest in the case of pedophile and major Democratic donor Jeffrey Epstein. In 2005, the Palm Beach police were told by the mother of a young girl in West Palm Beach that her daughter had been brought to the Democratic donor's mansion and asked to have sex with him for money. This kicked off an intensive, one-year undercover investigation. The police sifted through Epstein's garbage and interviewed 17 witnesses, including the housemen, who told of sex toys and dildos left behind after the underage girls left. One of Epstein's procurers, a 20-year-old...
