..its really big...now a connection between Barrs DAD and Epstein. No wonder he recused.

What did he do? It is hard to keep up with this horrible mess!

1. Just why did Acosta let Epstein off so easy? A reporter looking to make a name for him or herself should look into how he spent his vacation time.

2. Where's the guy who shot up the pizza place? Has anyone told him about these latest developments? When is he getting out of jail? Surely he would amuse himself by browsing gun shows...

but there's no telling yet.

I have a prediction that may very well be true: Acosta was one of them. Why else would any sane adult cover up such vile, vicious behavior?

Yes, I know I violated a rule of logic ("why else blah blah?" ), but I don't care. If Acosta has a perfectly good and reasonable explanation as to why he allowed a serial child rapist to skate with a little slap on the wrist, let's hear it.

As a prosecutor, trying to take down someone who can outspend you by orders of magnitude defending themselves ... is a VERY risky proposition.

Hell, look at the SHIT Trump has gotten away with over the decades.

Why? Cause he can outspend prosecutors, or whoever sues him.

I'm not going so far as to say Acosta WASN'T involved himself, mind you, but there is a 'reasonable' explanation for why he'd have crafted the deal, and that was to NOT blow his entire budget for the year on one case.

Rich people have set shit up like this for themselves all across the friggin' board.

want, then click on a face; a pop-up names them and their relationship.

This kind of work is why I want the Miami Herald to get a Pulitzer.

thank you ancinita

Forwarded the link to those who have trouble keeping up because they are not on DU!

My favorite board! I visited for several years before posting here. Now, I am hooked.

Glad you love this place like I do.

Made the addiction worse. You are creating a monster.

Trump's modeling agency. How does that fit in? Epstein once said that he wanted to use the Trump modeling agency as a template.

Married a nude model. Notice how quiet the tweets are with distractions like the hour long brag of how great Trump has been on the environment.

He and Epstein had a falling out 15 years ago! Hardy har!

It seems they fly by the seat of their pants when it comes to fulfilling their jobs.

I've never heard whether or not Epstein is married (highly doubtful) or has any legal children. If not, I hope every penny of his wealth goes to his victims. If he is found guilty, he surely doesn't deserve to enjoy any of his luxuries. I would think he's come to the end of his road with this go-round (and those he takes with him).

Barr has to be tearing his hair out in trying to figure out how to get the boss out of trouble on this one. Too bad, so sad! NOT!

And the GOP Senate gleefully confirmed them. Including confirming Acosta KNOWING his inappropriate role in Epstein's case. IT WAS IN THE NEWS AT THE TIME OF HIS CONFIRMATION. Let us all never forget that.

The Department of Agriculture is higher in responsibility...

Some of us like to understand 'reality' ... even if fantasy is preferable.

as they are...lets just call it the dominant one. Young boys, girls or whatever. It goes all the way back to Roman times at least and never changed much.

Witness the studies on the closest relatives to the Frothy RiteWing Apes - the alpha males get the "droit du seigneur" until they are no longer alpha. Sorry, epstein. You're going to meet some much more alphas in your few remaining years.

of underwear. Once inside, it shouldn't have a freakin' dime to move anywhere to anyone. Let it crawl to it's white supremacist buddies for protection with no money at least to pay for it. I'm sure they will think of some suitable arrangement to keep it safe.

it's actually genetic in nature ... IOW, people are 'born this way'?

But, IF that were true, might that not perhaps put one in bit of quandary in terms of just how much heaping of condemnation is actually appropriate?

I'm going with Epstein is a totally one-of-a-kind, willfully and wantonly defective creep.

I sleep better with my righteous anger

When his scandal first broke, I predicted that he'd walk, even if lesser people were convicted. Anything out there to prove me wrong?

And if not, what makes anyone think it'll be different for Epstein and Acosta?

Kraft sat at his table.

*Gasp!* What could they possibly do next?

When you have that kind of wealth there isn't any debauchery that is off limits.

Why is Acosta Secretary of Labor when he let a serial sex trafficker of the hook? He is the type of guy who will let a serial sex trafficker off the hook with the right phone call and that is who people with that much wealth want to be in charge.

Yes, I think this human trafficking sex abuse ring is far bigger than anyone can imagine, and Acosta's appointment does not feel coincidental in the least.

But the U.S. Government's effort to monitor and combat human trafficking is inter-departmental.

"The President’s Interagency Task Force to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (PITF) is a cabinet-level entity created by the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA) of 2000, which consists of some 15 agencies across the federal government responsible for coordinating U.S. government-wide efforts to combat trafficking in persons."

What I'm saying here is think even bigger.

Trump standing waiting on the Qatar leader? He looked like a cat on a hot tin roof. Ready to implode.
