Trump's Labor Secretary nominee faces questions over why he cut a deal with pedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein instead of indicting him on federal sex crimes

Alexander Acosta is facing questions over plea deal he oversaw for pedophile

Billionaire sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, pleaded guilty in 2008 to Florida charges of soliciting prostitution and was sentenced to 18 months in prison

Lawsuit questions why Acosta, whose confirmation hearing is this week, cut deal with Epstein a decade ago instead of pursuing a federal indictment

Acosta defended decisions as best outcome given evidence available at the time..

Watchman's comment=======
Now then, boys and girls... think a minute.

Many suspect, probably rightly so, that up to 50% of the cesspool of DC is up to their eyeballs in the Pedo thingy. Let's suppose for a moment that Acosta answers truthfully what I suspect is the real case. , that the Epstein thing involves up to 30%+ of the congress BY NAME.
Thus Acosta merely states that he cut the deal to keep the government from exploding back then when the testimony came out in trial. Congressman, do You really want Acosta to pull that string now?

What, dear reader will the Dems say then? Huh? Stay tuned, for if they pull that string a great unraveling will occur for sure.

==============================================

President Donald Trump's labor secretary nominee is facing questions over the unusual plea deal he oversaw for billionaire sex offender, Jeffrey Epstein, while serving as US attorney in Miami.

Alexander Acosta made a deal with Epstein which meant he avoided federal prosecution and a potential life prison sentence when he was found guilty of soliciting prostitution in 2008.

He is now at the center of a lawsuit, which names President Donald Trump as a witness, which accuses him of mishandling the case a decade ago.

Critics, including attorneys for some underage victims of financier Epstein, claim the plea agreement was a 'sweetheart deal' made possible only by Epstein's wealth, connections and high-powered lawyers.

The story resurfaced just hours before his confirmation hearing for the secretary of labor was set to start.
