How Likely is it Alex Acosta is a Sexual Predator, Also?

[dlk]

Just looking at him makes my skin crawl!

[struggle4progress]

1. A fellow with a suspicious mind might wonder if Acosta was one of Epstein's special clients

[cilla4progress]

2. I think so.

Eom

[BigmanPigman]

3. Over 50%

[real Cannabis calm]

20. How likely is it that Trump is also a sex-predictor?

[BigmanPigman]

23. 99%

[RockRaven]

4. Likely enough to make betting on a coin-toss look ridiculously reckless by comparison?

Likely enough to make a Steph Curry free throw look like a nail-biter by comparison?

Somewhere between the two, by the looks of it...

[912gdm]

5. I don't think so...

he vigorously went after sex crimes and such from others. I think he is just craven and saw helping a well-connected billionaire would advance his career at some point.

[mr_lebowski]

6. I'd say there's a 95% chance he's terribly compromised in SOME way ...

And Trump knows why, that's why he put him in his position. Cause that's IQ45's M.O.

Beyond these observations I'm not going to cast aspersions without any actual evidence.

[Grasswire2]

11. think about this through the lens of MOB behavior.

MOB utilization of compromise is legendary. If you aren't compromised already, they will make you so. Control. Control.

7. Was Bill Barr a guest too. We don't know.

What we do know is they are willing to cover up for the worst scumbags with all their money thrown around.

I think that most people would protect children.

These are the few who don’t care about anything other than power and money.

Bill Barr is one of those promised with a lifetime appointment on the Supreme Court after the demise of RBG. That is what he’s about.

[Midnight Writer]

9. Where was Bill Barr when his Pa had Epstein working at his private high school?

Were they in contact? Did they "pal around", to borrow the parlance of the right? Epstein was 20 at the time, and eventually fired by Papa Barr. How long has Epstein been building networks for pedophiles? Who else have been in those networks?

8. Golem?

Had to be the inspiration for the character.

[onecaliberal]

10. They have something in him. Everything dumpco is quod pro quo.

[OnDoutside]

12. Predator or On the take. I suspect the first option.

[ck4829]

13. K&R

[NJCher]

14. Very low

Pedophilia manifests itself very early, like age 16 or so.

Nobody turns into a pedophile as a mature adult.

If Acosta were a pedophile, he would most likely have been found out by now .

[Hekate]

15. I knew a pedophile who made it to the end of his life without being turned in to the cops

He was in his 60s before his daughter told; older when a cousin of his told. Pretty sure he was that way since adolescence. Might have been abused as a kid himself -- there were hints. Families keep secrets from the world and from each other.

If Acosta is a pedophile himself, someone in his family knows but won't say, because they were the victim. If he discovered he could get some kind of "in" with Epstein's world -- wow, what a fantastic deal that would be, and all he'd have to do would be to make sure Epstein had the merest slap on the wrist.

This is the most corrupt administration in the history of the nation in every conceivable way.

[meadowlander]

16. Police routinely bust online pedophile rings with 500+ members.

NAMBLA had 1,100+ registered members at its height. And those were the "out and proud" pedophiles - a very small minority.

I think it's pretty naive to assume that most pedophiles have been found out.

Studies estimate 1-2% of the male population are pedophiles. And 1-2% of the male population certainly aren't on sex offenders registries.

17. 100%

[dalton99a]

18. Corrupt cops always get freebies from businesses they protect

[EleanorR]

19. Acosta proposing 80% funding cuts for the government agency that combats child sex trafficking.

If not a sexual predator, then an enabler of sexual predators.

[roamer65]

21. Pretty damn high.

[dlk]

22. Now that Acosta has Proposed Nearly Zeroing Out the DOL Budget to Combat Trafficking, It's Clear

The monsters in the Trump administration just keep getting uglier. No wonder the GOP hasn't been touting themselves as the party of family values lately. They are anything but.
