We need to file this one under “you can’t make this stuff up.”
Alex Acosta was the federal Florida prosecutor who gave Epstein to sweetheart deal to help him avoid prison from molesting kids. Trump appointed Acosta to be his Labor Secretary in his first administration. No, I am not kidding.
William Barr worked for the law firm that actually represented Epstein. They were responsible for getting Epstein the deal with Acosta that helped him avoid prison for molesting kids. Trump appointed Barr to be his freaking DOJ Attorney General in his first administration. No, I am not making this up.
So let me get this right. Trump appointed two guys who were directly involved in helping a prolific child molester avoid prison to top positions in his cabinet. And no one thought there was anything wrong with this?
Let me ask you a question. Would you appoint a guy who worked for a law firm who represented Jeffrey Epstein and helped him avoid prison time from less kids as your attorney general in your department of justice???
All of this should beg the question: WHY did Trump fire his first Attorney General appointment, Jeff Sessions? if you recall, Jeff sessions refused to use the office of the department of justice to defend Trump against the Russian collusion investigation of the Democrats.
Trump claims sessions refusal to defend him pissed him off, so right after the midterms he fired him. In January, he hired William Barr. In February Epstein was arrested. In August Epstein so-called killed himself. Immediately following his “suicide,” in a highly unusual move, Barr got involved with “investigating” Epstein suicide, and quickly reported that it was indeed a suicide, and there was nothing to see here, move along.
Is this wild or what?
I still can’t get over the fact that Trump put the two guys who are directly involved in helping Epstein avoid prison into top cabinet positions, including the top law-enforcement position in the country. WOWOWOWOW
