What did Acosta receive in return for his handling of Epstein matter? Murky back room dealings?

Trump's now got skin in the game. Pardon the expression. This is going to blow up big-time.

You felt badly for Flynn and Manafort and, for a brief moment, Cohen, too

Get a new writer, you’re boring the entire cosmos to death
