I think this speaks for itself.

I am not at all defending Manafort, but certainly the mass pedophiles should have gotten harsh sentences.

Yeah but Epstein pals around with Bill Clinton and they fly out to his private island to "relax".

I don't know who Asimov is but I would wager that he has never worked with Trump.



We all know what is going on.

Yup. Perverts get a slap on the wrist. Patriots get the guillotine. Absolutely disgusting. Thank goodness Hillary and the forces of evil were defeated, but we are not out of the woods yet...

Alexander Acosta, Trump administration's labor secretary, is the one who oversaw the deal for the sentencing. He also secretly ended a federal investigation that would have lead to Epstein potentially getting a life sentence.


When it comes to sentencing, it helps to pall around with conservatives.


Quote:

Plea deal, involving attorney who became Trump’s labor secretary, saw financier avoid severe penalty for abusing girls

Epstein, now 66, reached a non-prosecution deal in 2008 with the office of the then-Miami US attorney, Alexander Acosta, to secretly end a federal sex abuse investigation involving at least 40 teenage girls that could have landed him behind bars for life. He instead pleaded guilty to state charges, spent 13 months in jail, paid settlements to victims and is a registered sex offender.
Acosta, now Donald Trump’s labor secretary, has defended the deal as appropriate but has not commented since the recent round of stories. He was asked about the case during his Senate confirmation hearings for the cabinet post.

Good info here on Asimov.

Charges shatter Asimov son's reclusion

For all of his 47 years, David Asimov has lived deep in the gargantuan shadow of his late father, Isaac Asimov, a man of volcanic energy who wrote 467 books and was the world's preeminent author of popular science fiction.

Last week, the younger Asimov achieved his own unwanted notoriety when Santa Rosa police arrested him after searching his home and discovering what investigators say may be the biggest child pornography collection in Sonoma County history.

Is Muller a judge? That is the person that generally handles sentencing.

NO. This is another fake news hit piece spread by the lying right-wing.


It is Alexander Acosta, Trump's current labor secretary, who reached the plea deal with Epstein.


Acosta also secretly stopped the investigation that would have uncovered more crimes which would have increased the penalty for Epstein.


You can read about how Acosta's team is defending Epstein's plea deal below:

Quote:


Top aide of Jeffrey Epstein prosecutor Acosta: We acted with integrity

A former top prosecutor involved in the Jeffrey Epstein sex case is defending his old boss, Alexander Acosta, whose decision to craft a secret plea deal with the wealthy New York hedge fund manager has come under federal scrutiny.
In his first public comments on the 10-year-old case, Jeffrey H. Sloman — who at the time was second in command under Acosta at the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Miami — said prosecutors resolved the case based on the facts and evidence, and what he called “legal impediments,’’ including the belief that many of Epstein’s teenage victims were too “terrified’’ to cooperate in the case.

Throw in Backpage CEO Carl Ferrer as well as part of Mueller's resume'... back in 2011, Mueller honored him for cooperation.



April 2018, the FBI seized his company for sex and human trafficking.

The closer we get to the end of Mueller’s investigation, the more stupid and desperate the Righties topics become.

It's a good time to remind them that Mueller is a Republican. Heck it doesn't seem like that long ago Mueller was using this investigation as cover go after Hillary, Obama, Lynch and Holder according to the Righties.

They've been kind of quiet about that since they started parading Trump's inner circle to the grand juries and the like.
