President Donald Trump's new nominee for secretary of labor, Alexander Acosta, could face a grilling in the Senate over claims that — while he was the top federal prosecutor in Miami — he cut a sweetheart plea deal in 2008 with a billionaire investor accused of having sex with dozens of underage girls.

As the U.S. attorney for Southern Florida, Acosta agreed not to file any federal charges against the wealthy financier, Jeffrey Epstein, if he pled guilty to state charges involving soliciting prostitution and soliciting a minor for prostitution.

Epstein ultimately received an 18-month sentence in county jail and served about 13 months — treatment that provoked outrage from alleged victims in the case.

We need to get to the bottom of this, once and for all, no matter what the outcome is.

let me know if I'm out of line here, but it almost seems like youre starting from the conclusion that trump is good and then working backwards to make his every move fit that conclusion =/ it's kind of pathetic to watch tbh

i was entirely neutral on Trump until i familiarized myself with the suite of evidence in Pizzagate

Do i sometimes have a confirmation bias that i need to keep in check, yes. Do you claim to be always aloof from confirmation bias? Are you that special?
