His account did not sit well with Barry Krischer, who was the Palm Beach County attorney during the case. Krischer, a Democrat, said Acosta “should not be allowed to rewrite history.â€
Acosta’s South Florida office had gotten to the point of drafting an indictment that could have sent Epstein to federal prison for life. But it was never filed, leading to Epstein’s guilty plea to two state prostitution-related charges. In addition to the work-release jail sentence, Epstein was required to make payments to victims and register as a sex offender.
Krischer said the federal indictment was “abandoned after secret negotiations between Mr. Epstein’s lawyers and Mr. Acosta.†He added: “If Mr. Acosta was truly concerned with the State’s case and felt he had to rescue the matter, he would have moved forward with the 53-page indictment that his own office drafted.â€

I mean how does 1 person know 5 pedophiles? How?! Even I know from watching L&O:SVU that if you know that many pedophiles you're probably also a pedophile. LIek seriously, WTF!

I know I will get better, but I am in a dark place this week.
For those who watched @SecretaryAcosta's presser and wondered about how forthcoming he was being, I recommend this instant fact check from the journalist who broke the @MiamiHerald story, @jkbjournalist https://t.co/6sMsouWD8a

Oh I totally believe that!
Can't seem to get out of my dark place for very long - I've stress eaten to the point that any weight I lost its back and it brought friends. All I want to do is take a bat to something to let go of some of this fury.

There are some people who make me think that an erupting supervolcano or an asteroid strike that ends civilization as we know it and plunges us into an Ice Age might be a good think. Mr. Dershowitz, you are a member of this ignominious group.

I was work friends with a guy who turned out to be a pedophile. I and a couple of other nerds used to have lunch with him almost every day. He never came across as focused on kids. He was a nice Christian family man. He and his wife had fertility issues and adopted two kids from foster care. Then one day he wasn't at work. And then another. We started to wonder what was happening. I stopped by his boss's cube and asked her what was going on with him, she kind of stuttered and said he was "off." The next day the new broke about a sting operation that the Sheriff's Office had done that busted a bunch of kid diddlers. When he was arrested he has a bunch of kiddie porn on his phone. You never know who the monsters are.

True. Could almost understand knowing 1 person like that, I mean people live next door to serial killers and never know it too. But that seems like a 1 off kind of things. Knowing 5? That raises huge alarm bells for me.
