(1,774 posts)it's not going away. It's going to get ugly as powerful men try to stop it at every turn. No question in my mind it's the Kompromat that Putin has over tRUMP. Maybe, just maybe the only thing the cultist Evangles will find repulsive enough to turn on him...(not counting on that). And , the Kompormat will be very VERY visual. tRUMP will claim it's photoshopped but it will be powerful (if the MSM) uses it.

(12,222 posts)Acosta "should not be allowed to rewrite history," Krischer said in a statement.
"If Mr. Acosta was truly concerned with the States case and felt he had to rescue the matter, he would have moved forward with the 53-page indictment that his own office drafted," Krischer said.

(23,488 posts)when Acosta was up there saying "wasn't me, other people made those decisions", i thought to myself, if I was that "other person" that acosta is lying about, i would make a HUGE deal of calling him out on it. and that has happened.
Anyone Acosta implies helped epstein get off easy should sue Acosta for defamation and slander.

(17,270 posts)Acosta would not have been involved if Krischer had not dropped ball by undercharging Epstein. Investigating authorities were upset and contacted FBI who investigated and brought in Acosta, who then performed his own malfeasance.
