Labor secretary nominee Alexander Acosta’s involvement in the saga could be personally or politically awkward for President Donald Trump. | AP Photo Trump’s Labor nominee oversaw ‘sweetheart plea deal’ in billionaire’s underage sex case

Acosta acknowledged to the media in 2011 that he came under extreme pressure from Epstein's high-powered defense team, which included legal heavyweights such as Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, former Whitewater independent counsel Kenneth Starr and Florida criminal defense attorney Roy Black. Acosta said Epstein's defense mounted "a yearlong assault on the prosecution and the prosecutors."

"I use the word assault intentionally, as the defense in this case was more aggressive than any which I, or the prosecutors in my office, had previously encountered," the former U.S. attorney wrote. He said his office stuck to its opening position in the case, but he also acknowledged that the ultimate punishment in the case may have been more lenient than Epstein deserved.

If Accosta willingly gave a lenient sentence, his actions should have consequences
Some may argue that he was threatened to act the way he did. Trump may have given him the opportunity to "make it right" (you are currently witnessing it...)

I favor full transparency and let the chips fall where they may
I am confident with my position on the matter...

As Sec of Labor? K

I'm confident that Acosta will be "spending more time with his family, while pursuing other interests" pretty damn soon

This is not anti trump sentiment, it's common sense politics

Btw that statement from Acosta was pathetic

A passion of Trump’s new Labor secretary pick: Trafficking ‘is evil. It is hideous.’

When Alex Acosta talks about the Justice Department's battle against modern-day slavery, the passion in his voice comes from one stark image in his memory.

It's a photograph he saw a few years ago of a tiny room where a 14-year-old Mexican girl was held captive: just three walls, a curtain and a twin bed.

The girl slept there, lived there and was forced to have sex there with man after man, up to 30 a day, he said. There was only one personal item in the room: a teddy bear, the last remnant of her lost childhood.

"This is human trafficking, " he said, punctuating each word, as he announced a new antislavery initiative last week in Tampa. "It is evil. It is hideous. It is one of the most horrendous crimes of our society."

"He's been an amazing voice for this issue, " said Angela Arboleda, civil rights policy analyst at the National Council of La Raza, a proponent for Hispanics in Washington. "He understands it from a human rights perspective."

Conservative, smart and young - he is 35 - Acosta has helped launch anti-trafficking campaigns this year in four cities: Phoenix, Philadelphia, Atlanta and now Tampa. He made more news last month when he reopened the investigation into the death of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old black youth whose abduction and killing in Mississippi in 1955 helped spark the civil rights movement.

There is a unifying factor in most civil rights work, Acosta says. It's fear: The fear of blacks in the South during the 1950s and '60s. The fear of trafficked slaves, far from home. The fear of immigrants, unsure of how their new country will receive them.

You may be right

Hasn't that picture been debunked? It's definitely not the same George Nader and that is definitely not Tony Podesta.
