Wow, just wow. If only there was some way he could have known back when he was giving Epstein that get out of jail free card.

If only he had some source of information to persuade him not to do that deal!

Looks to me like they were just as horrific when you worked out a plea deal with him back in the day Alex.

Alex are you suffering from amnesia? Hello, you prick, what you were supposed to be prosecuting him for was sexual abuse/rape of minors–child porn is horrific, and we don’t know much more about the new charges, but again–HELLO, you were in charge of the case in the early aughts when he was physically abusing children.

It’s more likely he thinks his audience is.

Acosta called the new charges an “important opportunity to more fully bring him to justice.”
“Hmmp, some of those girls weren’t no bigger than a little squirrel.”

Stupid, dumb and sad pedophile-enabler Acosta should have kept his mouth shut and waited for the news cycle to play out and for Bill Barr to shut down the Epstein investigation to protect Preshitident Skanky-Manslut and Iwanka.

He’ll claim the Miami Herald coverage was “fake news” to please his overlord (who he owes his job to and may be covering for).

Damage control gone awry.

As an aside, have you ever seen any presidential administration in such a CYA mode over underage sex parties? No? You haven’t? Me neither.

This isn’t to say that some people we like won’t get swept up in this scandal – though “scandal” seems like too small a word for this. This is worldwide rich-person hedonism: a form of rot that could turn into a major catastrophe. But it needs to be faced like that dry-rotted load-bearing beam in your basement.

Brace for impact.

I guess that obligates us all to keep it in the news cycle.

Almost anything would have been less disgusting than what came out of his mouth.

Yeah, Trump will realize that Acosta needs to be jettisoned any day now. But that would only shine a spotlight on Trump’s own involvement. Conundrum!

So the disgraced legal-father of The Patriot Act and American-Taliban-Torture-Techniques wants the world to believe he cares; I say F@CK-Off.
