This provides the answers to my questions from post #7,043 ..... and reveals one of the people that I think Trump wants to protect from "smear." Of course, none of Trump's cultists would answer those questions.

WATCH: Labor Secretary Acosta resigns amid criticism over Epstein deal

Alexander Acosta had come under scrutiny for his role in a plea deal that allowed financier Jeffrey Epstein to avoid a trial on sex trafficking charges.
www.pbs.org www.pbs.org

The deal that Alex Acosta brokered in 2008 with Epstein was appallingly lenient, and he agreed to the deal without consulting Jeffrey Epstein's victims. It doesn't make any sense. It is also ridiculous that Trump defended Acosta for this.

It makes sense if some 3 letter agencies or foreign governments were involved with JE.

Also, from the article ....

"A federal judge said Acosta violated federal law by not notifying Epstein's victims of the arrangement. The Justice Department has been investigating."

^^^ This hasn't been discussed enough. What Acosta did was more than unethical. He broke federal law. Where did that DOJ investigation go? Nowhere, of course. Acosta is a friend of Trump's after all. The more I think about it .... I'm positive that Acosta is one of the people who will look really bad if those full disclosures are ever made. Trump would look bad for hiring him as Labor Secretary and defending him. It's not entirely un-self-serving.

That's reaching ..... especially when you look back at Pam Bondi's claim that Trump had made releasing the Epstein files a top priority for the DOJ.

Bondi overhyped a release of some documents in February, claiming that :

"Breaking news right now, you're going to see some Epstein information being released by my office. This will make you sick." - Pam Bondi in an interview with Jesse Watters of Fox News

In reality, the contents of what she released were nothing not already publicly available. That's when the problem started for Trump on the Epstein files, because it angered his base.

Bondi was not part of Trump's campaign promises, which was your claim.

if you want to pivot to they have fumbled the report stuff since taking office, you won't find complaints here. but you have claimed multiple times it was a campaign promise without backing it up.

Trump had nothing to do with the DOJ at that point in time. That was Bush and Obama.

Yes .... but his defense of Alex Acosta as Secretary of Labor was ridiculous. A plea deal itself can always be defended, for one reason or another, but not Acosta's failure to discuss the arrangement he was making with Epstein's victims.

That was wrong .... and anyone who truly has the best interests of the sex abuse victims at heart should be able to acknowledge that.

I mean the e-mail invitation was not drafted or sent by an elected Democratic Party official, staffer or administrator. It was drafted and sent by Lisa Rossi of the political consulting firm Dynamic SRG.

It was misleading of Comer to say it was sent by Jeffries.

But by gosh anything Trump that is tangentially related to Epstein is completely different.

OMG.

Epstein didn't have a more important ally in 2008 than Alex Acosta.

Did I say Acosta is tangentially related to Epstein? You are using degrees of separation to tie Trump to Epstein using Acosta and then refusing to use degrees of separation as meaning anything with respect to Dems (see your Jefferies and Obama argument).

Those are not exactly parallels. LOL.

On one hand, you are talking about Trump's Secretary of Labor. On the other, an e-mail invite to a fundraiser that Epstein didn't even attend.

GOP Rep. Burchett: 'Democrats in Congress Will Have to Find Another Shiny Object Down the Road to Kick' After Epstein

During Tuesday's broadcast of Fox News Channel's "The Ingraham Angle," Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) blasted the media and expressed his skepticism that the legislation passed by Congress earlier in the day on Jeffrey Epstein would have a meaningful impact on President Donald Trump. | Clips
www.breitbart.com www.breitbart.com

“[C]ongressman, we assume there’s going to be redactions in these files, grand jury secrecy concerns, other issues raised by Johnson. Mike Johnson, so will this release satisfy those calling for transparency or those asking for the release for political gain?” host Laura Ingraham said.

Burchett replied, “I suspect when it all goes out, the Democrats in Congress will have to find another shiny object down the road to kick, and they keep trying to kick Donald Trump, and they haven’t been able to do it yet. It’s very ironic the fact that I asked for unanimous consent last week, and the liberal media just went ballistic, and the Congress went ballistic. It said, we’re trying to hide it. And what did Schumer do? As soon as he got it, unanimous consent, he wanted it on the board, and it just tells you just how backwards and just how really diabolical the Left is. They change the narrative so often and the lamestream media follows up.”

“All they’re trying to do, Laura, is just is to cover up over all the excellent work that President Trump’s done,” he added. “They can’t stand that he shut the border down overnight. They can’t stand that we’re strong militarily. They can’t stand that that he’s ended multiple, multiple wars, and their president, they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize, basically for a participation trophy.”

Right, but isn’t the point justice for the victims? How would giving it to the media accomplish that?

Clearly, nobody anybody cares about any justice for any victims. Some people like to string those words together in front a camera, but that's not at all what this is about.

It's all about how dumb people do politics. Dumb people only talk about the "other, wrong people" and they think this is what that is. The losers are holding out hope that they're actually the winners. They're dumb.

Nothing is going to happen. Certainly nothing is going to change a dumb person's mind. That's especially not happening. But nothing is going to happen to undo what happened to these girls, and nobody is going to jail.

I will say one thing about Burchett's rant .... When he says that "they gave him a Nobel Peace Prize," that implies that Democrats award the thing. It's a Scandinavian Award. Also, Obama has even admitted that he didn't deserve the Nobel Peace Prize and doesn't know why he received it.

Maybe Trump would finally get one if he didn't spend so much time lobbying for it? That could be a turnoff to the selection committee. Just a thought.
