quote:

Alexander Acosta will step down as Labor secretary amid mounting scrutiny over his role in negotiating a plea deal for financier Jeffrey Epstein.

Acosta announced his resignation Friday, saying that he phoned President Trump that morning to tell him he was stepping aside because he does not want his handling of the Epstein plea agreement to consume the administration.
I guess that press conference sealed his fate.

He was Secretary of Labor.

If you want to count this as a scalp (as I’m sure you do and the media does), count it. No one else cares.

I guess this is the end for Trump.

It was a good run.

Starting to lose count of Trump cabinet officials who have left their post because of scandal.... This is not normal.

Did you support a president who sold weapons to the cartel that killed Americans? Or do you not care?

He was on the job for well over two years.

That's about average for a cabinet member and agency executives.

Someone posted this exact thread a few days ago, it was fake.

Your source is CNN

There is tho an article that Trump's buddy at Newsmax Ruddy said, that Acosta won't last it is not Trump. I do believe it was speculation...

The source is POTUS speaking to the press.

Are you so far in conspiracy land that you believe CNN is staging a fake Trump press avail at the south lawn of the WH?

When they slip into the swamp , we cut them loose. Turnover keeps the deep state's growth down.
