Looks bad for Epstein, Labor Secretary Acosta and others. Justice was not served before. Maybe it will be now. I hope so for the victims.
A judge ruled today that federal prosecutors, including future Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, violated the law when they did not tell victims that the government had struck a deal not to prosecute Jeffrey Epstein https://t.co/qGM8xrRNyz

I'm not sure how much longer Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta will be able (or should be able) to keep his job after this. https://t.co/MeLP2lU5sV

Convicted pedophile Epstein was asked if he socialized w Trump.

He responded: “YES”
Then he was asked if he had ever socialized with Trump in presence of girls under age of 18?
He plead the fifth.
Trump’s Labor Secretary Acosta granted immunity to ”any potential co-conspirators.” https://t.co/GnWwsrDEUt
Smart take from @Mimirocah1 and Berit Berger on why Acosta/Epstein plea deal violated federal law and DOJ internal policy, and is at odds with the mission of the Labor Dept. https://t.co/k4MvLfys9p
