@realDonaldTrump Labor Secretary @SecretaryAcosta gave child molester Jeffrey Epstein a sweetheart deal when Acosta was an US Attorney. Now it turns out Epstein may have molested more individuals.

Why is Acosta still Labor Secretary?

Good. The SDNY won’t be bought like Alex Acosta was to make a charge go away on a rich, powerful sexual predator. (I would say “alleged” but Epstein has already been convicted of procuring a minor for prostitution).https://www.thedailybeast.com/jeffrey-epstein-arrested-for-sex-trafficking-of-minors-source …

As much as I fear rising tides and ocean levels, I fear the overflowing of the Washington Swamp might kill us first.

1. Because trump,

A corrupt criminal, is still in office. He's scared they will expose him soon, so he'll be threatening both Acosta and Epstein soon if he finds out they're talking, and eventually they'll have too or be facing a lot of prison time. He has so many investigations closing in on him now , and will try to fire people, and threaten, and accuse others of crimes , to cover up his crimes with. It won't work , and I'd bet there's some of these girls willing to testify, and not just again Epstein, but many others who were involved that are very well known people, and it'll have them facing consequences soon also.

2. Why aren't more Democrats

like Lieu on board demanding this? Democrats in unison calling for Acosta's resignation would keep the light shining on Epstein. Or am I violating a rule by calling for this?

3. Barr will shut this down as soon as Trump is implicated.

I hope SDNY is sharing info with state prosecutors so they can take over if Barr goes for another coverup to protect Trump.

5. I'm thinking they are sharing or preparing to share

I say this because only a single count in each area was charged. It is hard to believe that there aren't more instances. In the event of presidential misbehavior (such as inappropriate pardons) the evidence of such will be given to the NY State AG.

4. Why?

Maybe because all the incompetent people are already employed by this president? They are probably still searching for someone as crooked as Acosta or anyone else in this so-called administration. Hey, surely Jarrod could handle that job too. He does so well at everything else. Beavis and Butthead have no discernable talents, why not one of them for the job? Someone said the 4th of July parade was such a disappointment that tRump called it "Eric"
