So, Alex Acosta knew that Epstein and the Island were part of intelligence, but did he [View all]
bother to ask what country had set it up? Did he just assume they meant the CIA? And if so, did anyone follow-up with the CIA?
And, no one seemed to follow-up with the question, "Who told you to leave Epstein alone because he was part of intelligence?""
Why was there no follow-up? It's time to bring Alex Acosta back to answer that one question.
Seriously, who had the power to influence this cover-up, starting in 2007? What was Trump's reach into government power back then?
I was told Epstein belonged to Intelligence And to Leave it Alone.
Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]? Acosta had been asked. Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day hed had just one meeting on the Epstein case. Hed cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epsteins attorneys because he had been told to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade. I was told Epstein belonged to intelligence and to leave it alone, he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)
