Does anyone else remember Alex Acosta? Secretary of Labor for the Trump Administration 2017-2019?
Did you know he was U.S. attorney for Southern District of Florida (2005-2009)?
Does anyone else remember when he got Epstein a federal non-prosecution agreement that was later deemed illegal?
-fun fact about this plea deal, it ended federal investigations, which seems kind of crazy.
I remembered, but there were so many details I forgot:
The Miami Herald describes an email from Epstein’s attorney after his off-site meeting with Acosta: “‘Thank you for the commitment you made to me during our Oct. 12 meeting,’ Lefkowitz wrote in a letter to Acosta after their breakfast meeting in West Palm Beach. He added that he was hopeful that Acosta would abide by a promise to keep the deal confidential. ‘You … assured me that your office would not … contact any of the identified individuals, potential witnesses or potential civil claimants and the respective counsel in this matter,’ Lefkowitz wrote.”
Miami Herald and Julie K Brown broke so many of these stories
I remember his poor stepford children at his swearing in.
Such a proud day for the man who denied justice for so many. Hey lookit that, he’s on the Board of Directors for Newsmax now. Aw. Probably soaking in millions.
Boo newsmax! I heard earlier today on NPR that they are suing fox news for anti-competitive practices. The part that struck me was their highest viewership was election night 2020, when fox called Arizona for Biden, the die-hards couldn’t handle it and switched over.
Acosta was the US DA for Florida, where Epstein committed the crimes he was accused of, notably these were federal charges. Pam Bondi was AG of Florida starting in 2011 and could have pursued state charges against Epstein after Acosta’s sweetheart deal on the federal charges. She didn’t, and now she is Trump’s AG.
Trump’s AG during his first term was Bill Barr, whose father (former OSS [pre-CIA US intelligence] operative) was headmaster of a boarding school that Epstein worked at before becoming a billionaire sex trafficker. Bill Barr also worked at the law firm that represented Epstein when the Acosta deal happened.
Alan Dershowitz, who represented Trump in his impeachment trial, is a known associate of Epstein and has been accused of sexual abuse in connection with Epstein.
RFK Jr. flew on Epstein’s plane at least twice, his wife was associated with Ghislane Maxwell, and he attended an event at Maxwell’s home in 2014, well after it was well known that she and Epstein were partners in a child sex trafficking operation.
There are so many connections that it is easy to miss some. This was around the time of Epsteins suicide so there was a lot of news going on. For a real deep dive I suggest Julie K Brown’s Perversion of Justice.
