Dem Arizona Congresswoman Yaasmin Ansari on Friday emerged from the House Oversight Committee’s still-ongoing deposition of former federal prosecutor and then convicted felon President Trump’s first Labor Secretary Alex Acosta to tell CNN that Acosta is being less than credible in his answers about his decision to go easy on Donald’s friend Jeffrey Epstein, with Ansari saying Acosta believes “justice was served” in that case and that he’d done nothing wrong in reaching the deal that allowed Jeff to exit a local jail on “work release” to continue abusing girls.
Right off the bat the problem with Acosta believing he’d done nothing wrong is that the reason he resigned from Trump’s cabinet in 2019 was because of the goddamned Epstein case. That piece of shit literally freaking said “I do not think it is fair for this administration’s Labor Department to have Epstein as its focus rather than the incredible economy we have today. The right thing was to step aside,” when announcing his resignation. If that wasn’t consciousness of guilt then it was an acknowledgement that the way he handled an important case in his old job was at the very least pretty goddamned problematic and thus resigning was, in his own words, the “right thing to do.”
