  • 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
