Our current Secretary of Labor broke the law to aid a pedophile.

Meanwhile a Lieutenant in the US Coast Guard, tweaked out on painkillers, planned to use his cache of weapons to mass-murder innocents in order to fulfill his white nationalist philosophy.

1. Mass murderers and pedophiles have to work too.

There is however a shortage of willing victims. The work is hazardous and the pay stinks.

14. Yeah - making license plates

[dogman]

2. Not just any pedophile.

Reported to have operated at Mar-a-Lago and partied with the Creep-in-Cheif.

3. So much winning

4. Sec. Acosta should be fired and the Epstein case needs re-opening ...both need to happen IMMEDIATELY

Epstein had a lot of powerful friends. It sure seems plausible some got to Acosta to ease up on him. I'd like to see a bulldog prosecutor go after them all!

[leftieNanner]

6. I think double jeopardy will come in to play here

Unless the prosecutors can find some other victims who would be willing to press charges.

This is so sick. Acosta needs to have some consequences NOW!

9. Fired or not, he needs to be impeached and convicted, which could bar him from EVER holding

a federal office again. So even if he's fired, he should still subsequently be impeached and face a Senate trial.

13. Good idea. Nt

5. Will there be a groundswell demand that our Secretary of Labor resign his position?

No, there is at least 3 more weeks to milk out of this Smollett story.

8. THIS

7. Time for sunshine.

It’s the best disinfectant.

10. The Epstein case needs to be re-opened and the names of all the men who took part

in his child prostitution ring need to be made public. They have been able to hide because they have the money and power to do so.

[Politicub]

16. And allow the chips to fall where they may

It's sick that the Epstein case was swept under the rug.

[byronius]

11. A rich pedophile, though. So you know.

Excessive Wealth, The Great Unifier.

I'm on board with taking that away. Seems to be bad for everyone, them most of all.

12. Jeffrey and Donald

Jeffrey Epstein, Roy Moore and Donald Trump are going to be happy to see this precedent.

Kansas judge calls teenage girls 'aggressors' in sex abuse case and gives defendant reduced sentence

------------------------

“I've known Jeff (Epstein) for 15 years. Terrific guy,'' Trump told New York Magazine back in 2002. "He's a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side. No doubt about it - Jeffrey enjoys his social life."
