Victims never got that opportunity when Epstein faced criminal charges, because\nAlex Acosta — then the lead prosecutor, now the Secretary of Labor — let Epstein off with\na ridiculously lenient sentence. Despite having committed hideous sex offenses with dozens\nof minors, Epstein received a sentence of 13 months in jail, during which he was often free\nduring the day.\n\nEpstein’s decision to buy his out of the civil lawsuit, one that he had the nerve to initiate,\nbenefits Acosta. The trial would have provided non-stop headlines, coupled with frequent\nreferences to the sweetheart deal Acosta gave him. As Randy Schultz puts it, the trial would\nhave been the occasion for a long overdue public shaming of Acosta. Now, he avoids this\nconsequence.\n\nBut this doesn’t mean Acosta is out of the woods. He faces calls for his ouster from the\nTrump cabinet.\n\nSome calls are from the usual suspects. Michelle Goldberg of the New York Times has\nwritten a piece so obnoxious that it almost makes me want to see Acosta ride out the storm.\n\nBut some conservatives are also advocating Acosta’s departure. Concerned Women for\nAmerica 1s a stalwart conservative organization. It describes itself, accurately, as “focus[ed]\""}]
