Trump was Epstein's best friend and Acosta didnt think to interview him? That is a lie or it was done intentionally. I'm going with it's lie. Acosta lied to Congress

I agree. I'm not a lawyer nor do I play one on TV, but it sounds like a deniable plausibility setup....

Having worked with attys for 18 years for the Commonwealth of MA, one thing I've learned is that when it comes to catastrophic, high profile cases, attys remember a lot more for many years after the case is closed. In my opinion, the Epstein case was well-beyond catastrophic...tell me I'm lying. Acosta lied and is G.A.F.

Trump owns him. He bought him with a cabinet position. Acosta is a Harvard. He knows who butters his bread.

Members of Congress are dumber than posts.

How did Acosta get the job?Why did he ignore the police investigation?

For ignoring or laying off Taco he got a cabinet position. Not a bad deal. Duh!

How did Taco know Epstein liked young girls?

He doesn’t recall is the same excuse they give for everything. How did we end up with a bunch of amnesiacs running the country?

I remember in the news it was said victims were not asked if they wanted to take it to court or give Epstein a plead deal. The victims found out he got the plead deal through the news media like the rest of Americans. That’s what I remember from that time. So yes he is guilty of lying in my opinion. I don’t know about you but at the age most of the girls were to be told if you say anything harm will come to your family would probably having me thinking twice about what I said. Also females are treated as if they are the criminals in these type of cases which definitely needs to change. So I believe many of the additional statements may have been coerced to some degree.

Very good point. Yes, the victim’s lawyer distinctly has repeated over and over that they were not informed about the deal he was making.

I would like to see his money trail, Epstein had lots and influence across the globe and banks looking the other way. So his bullshit, as expected, interview is worthless but I bet his portfolio got a boost for his lenient 'deal'.

ICE was designed as a secret police force to operate inside the USA, but outside both State and Federal laws. In an attempt to seize unconstitutional powers that will enable him to rule the USA as a dictator, Donald Trump is trying to deploy both ICE and the military in Chicago, Portland and other American cities. His goal: suppress and control every American that opposes his Fascist intent.

How does Trump intend to overthrow our government?

ICE is pivotal. Donald Trump pardoned the violent criminals who—in response to his call—attacked a Joint Session of Congress on 1/6/2021. Some of these criminals are now ICE deployed bounty-hunters—a Gestapo-like private police force directed by Donald Trump to ignore the law, ignore due-process rights, and (before the courts can learn of their existence) kidnap People of Color and make them disappear.

Who would support Trump’s treasonous intentions?

Trump’s MAGA base includes a hopelessly corrupt Supreme Court. It includes criminals serving in the President’s Cabinet. It includes hundreds of corrupt Republican Members of Congress, thousands of corrupt Republican office-holders, and millions of Neo-Nazis who hate People-of-Color.

Led by the lifelong racist Donald Trump, these MAGA Republicans are trying to convert the USA’s Constitutional Republic into a Fascist, Christian-Nationalist, White-Supremacist Kleptocracy to be ruled in perpetuity by the Trump Family Crime Syndicate.

To the delight of MAGA Republicans, but in direct contravention of the Constitution, Fascist Donald Trump has banned all criticism of his criminal acts, his person, and his Presidency.

American patriots are ignoring Trump’s attempt to eliminate their freedom of speech. The overwhelming majority of Americans reject Trump, his treasonous coup attempt, his secret police, his Fascist Sycophants, and his ongoing criminal acts. This majority will not rest until Trump is impeached, removed from office, prosecuted, convicted, and thrown into prison.

I wonder if Acosta is named in the Epstein files. If he is he has a conflict of interest.
