So what about all the other people who signed off on it? just going to pin this all on `1 person .. ok...

Tip of another “locker room” iceberg....Acosta is hoping to be forgotten instead of on the lengthy list !

ANTHONYBLOGAN This has nothing to do with Acosta, nobody gives a shit about Acosta, it's just about making Trump look bad and smearing Trump. At the time of the sweetheart deal nobody in the MSM, nobody gave a shit about Acosta but now feign outrage. 🙄

AlanDersh should be in jail with Jeff Epstein and Acosta.

Will Trump take credit for draining the swamp after he filled it with likes of Acosta? Who is next?

AlexAcosta = TRASH

ANTHONYBLOGAN Why are there so many liberal pedophiles?

Good riddance!!!

who cares!! we know Bill Clinton was pulling all strings behind the scene as he is part of the perversion with Epstein!! His lackey Manhattan DA Cyrus Vance shld step down as well!!! What he did was let Ep walk!!! Ep has the goods on Bill!!!

Probably worth it. I have no issues with Acosta in this...that story goes WAY deeper. But Trump knows its best to replace him and move forward.

Next the DNC's KKK governor

His buddy

Watch: Trump Labor Secretary Alex Acosta speaks on Jeffrey Epstein case as Democrats demand resignationLabor Secretary Alex Acosta — who as a prosecutor cut a deal that spared financier Jeffrey Epstein of federal charges a decade ago — is answering reporters' questions for the first time since new child sex trafficking charges against Epstein were lodged. Puzzling how Democrats direct their attention toward President Trump’s appointment of Sec. Acosta rather than his personal association with Epstein. Seems like an attempt to obfuscate any personal connection of Epstein & Bill Clinton. Curious tactic but probably effective. Nope So let me get this straight: Bill Barr's father FOUND Epstein & hired him Epstein has been involved in sex crimes FOR DECADES Acosta gave Epstein a sweet heart deal in FL Acosta got promoted to Sec of Labor Barr is now Neck DEEP involved in this case Am I missing anything?

Trump Labor Secy. Alex Acosta faces reporters and defends role in Epstein scandalWith no apology to Jeffrey Epstein's victims, Labor Secy. Alexander Acosta defended himself in Washington as the crisis grew worse for the Trump White House. Our panel joins to discuss. Sec. Acosta lies when he states there was not enough evidence when his own dept. had a 53 page indictment ready to go. Another lie. Not wanting to put the victims thru a trial. Hell! He didn't even contact the victims about the sweet plea deal he cut. Paid off to bury the case!! Why would he apologize? Florida was about to let him off without any prison time or sex offender registration. Epstein had friends in high places, being a huge DEM donor, gave thousands to Democrats and $25k to the Clinton Foundation.
