Here you go, Bobby. Here's the guy who got Epstein off, in return for political favours.
And here's your DL singing his praises, as you do.
Trump defends embattled Acosta, says he had a 'falling out' with Jeffrey Epstein 'a long time ago'
President Donald Trump defended his embattled labor secretary, Alex Acosta, on Tuesday and said that he had a "falling out" with politically connected sex offender Jeffrey Epstein a number of years ago.
In an earlier case, in 2008, Epstein pleaded guilty to procuring a person under 18 for prostitution and felony solicitation of prostitution, which required him to register as a sex offender and serve about a year in a Florida county jail. He was able to leave almost daily for work, and was allowed to have his own private security detail behind bars.
Trump told reporters at the White House that Epstein was “a fixture in Palm Beach” and said, "I knew him like everyone in Palm Beach knew him."
In 2002, Trump told New York magazine that he'd known Epstein "for 15 years," calling him a "terrific guy."
"He's a lot of fun to be with," Trump said then. "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."
Acosta, who was the U.S. attorney for the Southern District of Florida at the time of the original Epstein criminal case, has faced calls from Democrats to resign his Cabinet post following the latest Epstein charges. But Trump praised Acosta on Tuesday for his job performance.
"He's been just an excellent secretary of labor," Trump said, before suggesting that multiple officials, in addition to Acosta, were responsible for how the 2008 case turned out — and that they probably "would wish they'd maybe done it a different way."
Trump added that he felt “very badly” for Acosta.
Acosta's office reached the secret non-prosecution deal in 2008 with the wealthy financier to halt the federal sex abuse investigation involving dozens of teenage girls in return for him pleading guilty to lower state charges involving a single victim.
Sorry, don't answer this.
