Agree with your comment. Personally I think Acosta is a dirt bag who was "had." If he had really wanted to spare the sexually accused, the plea deal wouldn't have been sealed and their attornies kept in the dark all these years. Acosta fits the demographic for a Trump* Cabinet appointee - Sleazy, incompetent, or seriously conflicted. Worst Cabinet in the history of America. All Trump* stoolies in one way or another.

Acosta said that plea agreement with Epstein was a point of pride during his work as a federal attorney. I'm looking forward to learning more about this weird, unsettling case. Without knowing the details it certainly seems that the emphasis was on sweeping this under the carpet. Acosta should be forced to explain in greater detail the circumstances that led to what appears to be an inappropriately gentle punishment for a dangerous serial sexual predator. Acosta's position that he wanted to spare the women who were sexually abused and raped from having to testify is not acceptable. What's the rest of the story, the genuine story?
