14. Acosta says he was pressured into making the plea bargin deal with Epstein.

He had to know it was illegal since the victims were not being informed of the deal.
He should have resigned back then and blew the whistle on the ones who were pressuring him, or just told them to fuck off and proceeded with the case.
He didn't do either of those things.
He knew justice was not being done; he had a 50+ page indictment ready to go.
So, he committed a crime and let a serial child rapist off with a slap on the wrist and a guarantee that Epstein could never be federally prosecuted for any sex crimes he had committed; even ones that were not identified in the indictment.

It takes a special kind of dirty, rotten, no good, total shit of a person to do this.
There is a piece missing here. What did Acosta get in return?
