White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday that the administration is "looking into" Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta's role in securing a lenient plea deal for politically connected sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that a judge said was illegally concealed from his victims. "My understanding is it is a very complicated case, certainly something we're looking into," Sanders told reporters a day after a federal judge in Florida ruled that prosecutors, led by then-Miami U.S. Attorney Acosta, had broken the law by signing a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein without notifying dozens of his sex abuse victims. Sanders said she believed prosecutors "made the best possible decision and deal they could have gotten at the time, but again, that's something we're looking into." Asked if President Donald Trump still had confidence in Acosta, Sanders said, "We're looking into the matter but I'm not aware of any changes."
Feb. 22, 2019, 6:18 PM GMT By Dareh Gregorian White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Friday that the administration is "looking into" Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta's role in securing a lenient plea deal for politically connected sex offender Jeffrey Epstein that a judge said was illegally concealed from his victims. "My understanding is it is a very complicated case, certainly something we're looking into," Sanders told reporters a day after a federal judge in Florida ruled that prosecutors, led by then-Miami U.S. Attorney Acosta, had broken the law by signing a non-prosecution agreement with Epstein without notifying dozens of his sex abuse victims. Sanders said she believed prosecutors "made the best possible decision and deal they could have gotten at the time, but again, that's something we're looking into." Asked if President Donald Trump still had confidence in Acosta, Sanders said, "We're looking into the matter but I'm not aware of any changes." Jeffrey Epstein case: Judge rules federal prosecutors broke law Feb. 22, 2019 / 01:48 Asked directly by reporters later in the day if he had any "concerns" about Acosta, Trump said, "I don't know much about it. He's done a great job as labor secretary. That seems like a long time ago." Epstein, 66, reached the non-prosecution deal in 2008 with Acosta's office to halt a federal sex abuse investigation involving dozens of teenage girls in return for him pleading guilty to state charges involving a single victim, paying financial settlements to other victims and registering as a sex offender. The wealthy financier, who'd been friends with the likes of Trump and President Bill Clinton, wound up serving 13 months in a Palm Beach jail, where he was allowed to leave almost daily through a work-release program and to have his own private security detail. He could have faced up to life behind bars had he been convicted of the charges in the shelved federal complaint. Acosta was actively involved in the negotiations, according to documents that were introduced into evidence in a lawsuit by two victims who said their rights were violated. That included an email between Acosta and one of Epstein's lawyers, former Whitewater special prosecutor Ken Starr, in which he agreed to temporarily hold off on sending out victim notification letters at Starr's request. Acosta downplayed his office's actions at his Senate confirmation hearing last year. “There was a time when keeping something confidential was less of an issue, but the public expectation today is that things be very public,” he testified. He's defended his handling of the case in the past, as well. “The bottom line is this: Mr. Jeffrey Epstein, a billionaire, served time in jail and is now a registered sex offender. He has been required to pay his victims restitution, though restitution clearly cannot compensate for the crime. And we know much more today about his crimes because the victims have come forward to speak out,” he said in a statement to the Daily Beast in 2011. After Judge Kenneth Marra's finding in the victims' case that Acosta's office had violated the notification law, a Department of Labor spokesperson released a statement Thursday defending Acosta's actions. Decisions made by Acosta's office "were approved by departmental leadership and followed departmental procedures. This matter remains in litigation and, thus, for any further comment we refer you to the Department of Justice," the statement said. The Justice Department launched an investigation into how prosecutors handled the case earlier this month.

Redditors always ignored that the reason why shillary and epstein wouldn't get locked up is because it meant Trump would too.
She hastily assumed that Trump would throw them under the bus to save himself - if that was possible. It wasn't. For Epstein to go down, everyone else has to go down. That's how the blackmail functions. Also, that's aside from the implication that Trump wanted to lock them up at all. Everyone assumed he would, and the assumption was all he needed to win more support.
The more you work on assumptions and headcanons, the more delusional you become. Trump's support is an amalgamation of different flavors of blind faith and delusional thinking. He didn't even have to do anything. Everyone kept adding to his myth and look where it's lead.
Separate the myth from reality and see that he's one of (((them))).

You got caught so you changed the subject and tried to put words in my mouth. Does that shit work on twitter? Kill yourself, you're the worst shill I've ever seen. You have never convinced anyone of anything.

How many times did Bill Clinton fly on the lolita express, you left wing shill? It was a Mossad operation, and you're helping Israel control our politicians by continuing to play their games for very meager pay. Stop flailing about being a shitty shill, come join the revolution.

Shills on suicide watch.
Kayden Kelly
Lol Clinton's a pedo and so is Trump. Your revolution is a stop gap valve release fucking goofball. Keep worshipping your pedo mafia president and TRUST THE PLAN!
Don't worry, Epstein, Dershowiz, Cohn, etc. are all BASED nationalist pedophiles. GEOTUS did nothing wrong.
Cooper Peterson
If Donald Trump was a pedophile you would post the proof you had. You didn't because there is no proof of this. Everything you say is straw man pilpul, and you are losing the argument because of it. This is not twitter, and no one is taking you seriously. Now bump the thread again on your other IP and cry about how the evil alt right keeps humiliating you every time you raid the board.
Christopher Stewart
The absolute state of shilling. This is the best they can do. No wonder so many of these shills end up in psych wards.
Leo Richardson
We love our BASED pedophiles don't we folks, we need compassionate criminal justice reform so these men can become Republicans™ and give us that boost at the polls! Just one more midterm, then we'll have it in the bag folks. You can wait another two years, right?
Michael Ward
And you wonder why you get humiliated when you raid the board.

He's not a pedo he only hangs out with pedos has his picture taken with pedos hosts pedos, has pedos as friends, takes money from pedos gives money to pedos…I mean fuck, if you love pedos so much, why don't you just move to israel?

True. And Trump has been involved in both DC *AND* Hollywood for years. Makes you kinda think…

The story does not prove that in any way. Why do you think people will believe you? Does this shit work on twitter?

He's a big friend of everybody, believe him. Everyone's alright by Trump, he gets along with everybody. Nobody gets along with pedos like Trump does.
when is trump going to drain the swamp? as with the wall nothing has happened in 2 years on that front. And no, all the jews and shabbos who have left the fbi because of the failed "mueller investigation" is not enough

It's (((complicated))). Epstein is funded from Israel.
Henry Sullivan
There's nothing normal about the fucked-up bimbots he's been linked to. Though I'm sure he rails just about anything with a vagina regardless of age. I'd say the lowest trump would go is 14.
Ethan Price
Half the thread is you spamming, literally everyone ITT thinks Trump is a pedophile. Your efforts are wasted.
Isaac Parker
Are you saying Trump wasn't friends with Epstein and doesn't prefer age-inappropriate women? Guys a scumbag.
You just implied he accused trump supporters of being pedos. He didn't. Correct yourself, rather than doubling down.
Anthony Gonzalez
Are you going to post proof that Trump is a pedophile or keep kiking because we both know you don't have it and you're a disgrace to your job?
Grayson Sanders
In conclusion Trump is a pedophile, or aids and abets pedos. Basic stuff
Cooper Wright
I don't know, I dont have a twitter account, but I do have a brain, and nothing about Trump is some amazing secret. He's a pedo who went to pedo parties in italy thrown by their pedo prime minister billionaire who loved 14 year old prostitutes, fucking forget about epstien's pedo island.

Then why am I the ones that said Israel is behind Epstein, moishe?
Stop trying consensus cracking. The real anons here are done with Trump, it is absolutely over. Nobody wants another Israel loving Republican, people are sick of this tired two party Jew party shit
Logan Nelson
I'm sure your employer has thousands.
Post proof. And deny the holocaust while you're at it. You sound highly philosemitic.
Moishe, let me teach you what happens when you try this shit on our board. Epstein is a proven Israeli operation, just like you
Her father is Robert Maxwell, a known Mossad agent. You could have just left this alone, but you had to keep going moishe. Now you made Israel look very bad. Your boss is going to be very upset with you.
Nathaniel Sanchez
This is pathetic shilling.

Don't even respond to that downie potato weekend crew. I can smell itz diaper from here.
Nigger, of course Epstein is tied to the Mossad. You're the one here shilling for his friend of at least 15 years who described him as a "terrific guy" and compared him to himself.
Mason Johnson
I'm sure Rule #1 on their shill list is "never ever admit you're wrong even if it's completely obvious" but jesus christ what an embarrassing display.
Jack Myers
You are literally the only guy in this thread supporting Trump. The consensus here is, Trump isn't our President. He is an expired boomer Republican who loves Israel.
Kill yourself immediately.
