The only verified pedophile in this whole mess is Epstein. I haven't heard any allegations from victims that fingered anybody other than Epstein. Flying on Epstein's jet or being on Epstein's island proves absolutely nothing absent an actual allegation from an actual victim. In short, your speculation is based on nothing more than your imagination.
There are questions about his finances as well.. if people were paying him for sex with kids this investigation is going to bring down some powerful people.
And it was Acosta's decision not to pursue federal charges, or not to formally request investigation by the US Attorneys is the other areas where Epstein had homes, or to not notify the victims before the sweetheart deal that kept Epstein in operation was executed. And it was the Judge that authorized it. Why are you defending any of these crooks that allowed this predator to continue to prey on teenage girls? What the HELL is the function of a US attorney and a judge if not to step up and firmly end the run of a career predator like this? And what the hell are Dershowitz and Ken Starr doing keeping a bit of scum like this in practice? Do we have a Justice System and the rule of law or don't we? We don't bring these guys to justice ourselves because we trust that the system we all support will do it for us, and more dispassionately, carefully guarding against the passions of the moment in which grievous mistakes can be made. Between Mueller, Comey, McCabe, Rosenstein, both Clintons, Acosta, this Judge, Roberts, and the FISA Court, is it all lies? Are you telling me that Acosta fulfilled his duty and oath of office? If his actions were not unacceptable, what actions by Acosta would be unacceptable? Tweets you disagree with? The wrong thought on extreme transgender politics? Maybe tweeting out an objectionable verse from the Book of Romans?
It was the DOJ's decision to not pursue. The DOJ and the FBI were both heavily involved in the case. There is speculation that Epstein was a cooperating witness so was let off the hook. The real question would be why did the DOJ for the last decade let him skate.
There is also speculation Epstein was told to stand down so as to not damage the Clintons poltically when she was the 2008 front runner. It would't be the only time the Swamp tipped the scales in her favor.
Or that this was during the time government was going after insider traders for hefty sums of $$$ and Epstein knew a lot of people on Wall Street.
Says Acosta. I call him a self-serving liar. I want the names of those at DOJ that directed Acosta to sign off on this, with a supporting paper trail. Did you notice Acosta supplied none of this? Everyone involved needs to be called out. Speculation by who? And "off the hook" means another decade and a half of serial raping young teenage girls and supplying them to other men to rape. Substitute that back into your sentence and then tell me what you think about what you are defending and justifying. Yes, everyone involved, clearly Acosta's fingers were on this, so let's start with him. He also signed off on protecting the co-conspirators who would have likely sung like birds if they were pressed. The simpler answer is that it was a deliberate cover up to protect system insiders. These systems and powers are OURS. They are not the personal toys of insiders. Crimes this horrific call for severe and brutal justice. Those who acted without honor need to be exposed, condemned and barred from all future exercise of public authority. Where crimes were committed they need to be convicted and incarcerated.
That's more horseshit. They nailed Madoff and Martha Stewart and everyone else skated. The thieves that looted our economy and stole a decade of gains and nearly brought the global economy down paid no price. There is a strong case that ALL of our national institutions are infested with liars, thieves, scoundrels, rapists, all very nicely dressed, fabulously rich and sporting Ivy League credentials. You want to know what the evidence is that what I said is NOT true? When bastards like this are hauled out of their homes by the hair and brought to account before the law, just like anyone else. That is the ONLY acceptable outcome in a free and just society.
LOL, Acosta was part of the DOJ. One can speculate all they want but it is like spitting into the wind, a pretty useless exercise.
Oh sure, you are flying on the "Lolita Express" to "Orgy Island" you don't partake, but you don't report it so the systematic rape of 14 and 15 year old girls, numbering near the hundreds, continuing for decades continues and you defend those that at minimum colluded with their silence? And indications are that Epstein had a lot of photographs and videos that are now in the hands of the FBI. Everyone with knowledge who allowed it to continue needs to be exposed, convicted where warranted, and stripped of all public authority.
Bullshit. Acosta made some vague claims which he has not supplied one bit of proof of, so as of now he is at least one of the collaborators who kept a serial rapist, who raped girls personally and supplied them to other men to rape, in operation. And you didn't answer my question: IF ACCOSTA'S JOB AS A US ATTORNEY WAS NOT TO PUT GUYS LIKE THIS OUT OF BUSINESS, JUST WHAT THE HELL WAS HIS JOB?
Bullshit. I have the commitment not to prosecute that Acosta signed off on that was filed with the COURT! All this justifying and buck passing crap is the speculation.
Acosta worked for the DOJ. Why did the DOJ let Epstein off for more than a decade? The Palm Beach attorneys office did prosecute but accepted a plea.
Dude. An AUSA bitched out, gave him and all his people immunity to fed prosecution instead of dropping the hammer on them. They had him dead to rights, that's why he copped a plea. Then he added insult to injury by making it a secret deal. He's incompetent or a coward or corrupt or all 3, he needs to go.
Dig up whoever at main justice signed off on it and we'll call for them to be pilloried as well. But we KNOW acosta ****ed up, his ****ing signature is on the order, so no need to wait ****ing with him.
Rich black dude skated in Chicago, Cosby skated for decades, Simpson got away with literal murder. I think the operative term is "rich" not "white" but for people who have a pathological hatred of whites, white will always be the metric that matters. Note: technically this guy is Jewish so you could have just as easily (and more accurately) said.... "rich, Jewish guy gets light sentence" but I guess that would be a little to close to what a white nationalist would say for your tastes.
I see Trump’s new Justice Department is taking more and more definite form everyday. Suddenly it looks like former Supreme Court Judge Sam Alito’s law clerk Alex Acosta has many new career opportunities! Or maybe the next Supreme Court Judge! Alex would really be grateful!!!! Alex Acosta could be the new President of “People’s Court” like that old law and order Judge Roland Freisler.
Not very desperate since any even half assed background check on Acosta should have prevented Trump appointing him.
Acosta, Trump's appointee, basically let Epstein walk. The real questions are why and what was Trump's reason for appointing someone as obviously flawed as Acosta.
