I don't want to watch another news cycle of Smollett, enough.
Democrats need to be shouting out that Labor Secretary Acosta must be fired. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, do we reward someone who covered for underage sex trafficking with a cabinet position? Young girls were raped by many powerful men and Acosta covered it up.
Enough is enough, c'mon Democrats I can't hear you, let's drain the swamp.

(32,103 posts)I only clicked on it to see why everyone was angry with him. Wrong Acosta, thank goodness. And yes. He needs to go. To the prison cell next to the guy whose crimes he was trying to cover for.

Because it involved Federal prosecutors, surely this case warrants a Congressional investigation and perhaps even a special prosecutor!

(11,885 posts)And this upcoming appearance before the House by Cohen would be a perfect setting for them to ask him was he, or trump, or knew of any others involved with Acosta giving Epstein this sweetheart deal , and did he make payments to these girls involved , or threats, or any knowledge of trump's pressuring Acosta in any way. They should question him about if he knew about a payoff to Acosta or the girls in ANY way , including his getting his present position for what he did with the Epstein case. Did he know anything about AMI or Pecker making payments for trump regarding the girls or anyone else, or did anyone have tapes of anything , video or audio. trump's pattern will show everyone if he's guilty or not. Denials, dismissals, and excuses , then accusations and threats will follow, and wild claims he'll make up.

(7,142 posts)What do they have, 18 days to do something? I think prosecutors or the A.G. in Florida have to act.
What is worse than covering for child traffickers who molest little girls.
What person who has the gall to call themselves a Christian thinks it ok for Trump to cover for Acosta?
The day I saw the video of Trump looking at the 10 year old girl with sexual thoughts, saying on audio that he will be dating her in 10 years, I was naïve to think that Christian men and women, that decent men and women, would never vote for this pervert, for this sexual assaulter, for this accused rapist. I was wrong. Trump isn't the main problem, his followers are.
