Secretary of Labor Alex Acosta is expected to make a statement to the media Wednesday afternoon and take questions from reporters about his involvement in the 2008 sweetheart deal that landed accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein with a mere 13-month prison sentence.
Not interested in hearing anything this pedophilic enabler has to say unless he’s resigning.
What could he possibly add to the discussion *except * his resignation?
We already know the sordid details, and he’s not going to name names.
What are the odds he gets fired by tweet while he is speaking?
Here is his statement in full IOKIYAR
What an idiotic move. How could he possibly improve his political or public relations position? Hunker down or run.
I assume this is being forced on Acosta as a prelude to his firing. Make him look trashy, unsympathetic, and dumb, then the Very Stable Genius can parachute to the rescue and can his ass. Maybe I’m over-reading it.
edit: not can his ass, because he’s a fucking coward who isn’t capable of firing anybody to their face. Have Mulvaney do it.
Narrator:
“Shortly thereafter, he resigned.”
If one reporter will simply ask why Acosta broke the law to help cover up that sweetheart deal he gave to Epstein, he’ll be out the door pretty quickly after that. That’s probably what Trump wants to see. He’d like Acosta to go damage himself in a presser.
Added for effect.
Hey, Acosta! How about making a statement like, “I have decided to strip naked and throw myself into a canyon filled with white-hot burning charcoal briquets.”
We could use a few laughs here, guy.
First question I would ask: “Were you a big fan of Honey Boo Boo?”
Even money.
Most people think they’re smarter than they are!
“I know that many of you reporters have various questions you would like to ask me but I will answer every one of them later since, after all, the day is still very, very young.”
“…and so is my girlfriend! Rimshot, please!”
What if he says he’s resigning to spend more time with other peoples’ daughters?
(sorry)
Prepare for a full-fledged, illogical rationalization.
“There were no dead girls or live boys, so…”
I don’t think Trump can plan that far ahead. This is a staffer’s knifework, probably Conway or Miller.
Good one
That would be insufficiently chickenshit for Donald J. Trump. He will fire Acosta tmw at 6 AM while he is on the toilet, like he did Rex Tillerson.
