Report: Labor secretary accused of giving wealthy alleged pedophile 'deal of a lifetime'

Source: CNN

When he was a US attorney in Florida, Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta gave accused pedophile Jeffrey Epstein the "deal of a lifetime," the Miami Herald reported Wednesday.

In a sweeping review of the politically connected multimillionaire's case, the Herald explained how Acosta made an agreement with Epstein to avoid major repercussions for the hedge fund manager, even though a federal investigation identified 36 underage victims.

The report said Acosta forged a deal with one of Epstein's attorneys where he pleaded to two state prostitution charges, ultimately serving only 13 months and avoiding a federal trial. The agreement, the Herald said, "essentially shut down an ongoing FBI probe" and further granted immunity to "any potential co-conspirators" in the case.

Epstein also registered as a sex offender and paid restitution to the victims identified by the FBI.

and it has been reported that Trump attended at least one of these parties and, according to one of the underage girls at the party, had sex with her (statutory rape). She was one of the accusers who came forth during the campaign but "disappeared" from the collection of Trump accusers.

Epstein also gave Bill Clinton rides on his jet (nicknamed the Lolita Express) but there was never an accusation that Bill had sex or that there were even underage girls on the same plane.

This reminds me of the vast British child rape ring -- Jimmy Savile, the kid's show host that provided children for members of parliment and other wealthy pedophiles. They murdered a young girl at a party, I think.

Epstein's case is incredible dark. An act of injustice so deep that the stain will never come out. Anyone involved will burn in hell if there is such a thing.

Of course Trump would appoint the Cleaner to something. Always the worst of the worst of the worst, with honors.

Virginia Giuffre alleged she was pulled into years of abuse by investor Jeffrey Epstein when she was working as a 15-year-old towel girl at President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach in 1999.

because Trump's buddies are raping American girls and getting away with it.

Think about Brett Kavanaugh judging cases like this.

Explains why Dershowitz,who is supposedly a lifelong Democrat, always comes to Trump's defense. Would you want them at your Martha's Vineyard party? Me either.
