Well there is the fact that the AG who let him off a decade ago is now in Trump's inner circle, and, Trump is defending him. Then there's this: And there is the fact Trump bought the Miss Teen Universe and it isn't clear if he walked into their dressing room(s) though we know he walked into the Miss Universe dressing rooms.
Yup. Good thing you didn't conflate things to make a political hit piece out of this. Glad to know I was off base..
So I'm not sure I be so quick to dismiss Trump's involvement. Not saying the smoking gun is there. But no way is Trump in the clear.
Yes, let's speculate. Definitely doesn't prove my point.
This. As much as I'd like to set politics aside and let justice run its course, I can't ignore the fact that one of the men in Trump's inner circle played an instrumental role in allowing a serial child rapist to walk. Of his own volition, Donald Trump has involved himself in this case. If he wanted to stay out of it, he made the wrong decisions. Criticism is warranted.
The swamp of wealthy elites has never been so overtly swampy. The disrespect for checks and balances or the people of America is overwhelming. Trump and his enablers are the worst of the self interested elites many of his supporters despised and sought a disempowerment of. All accountability is gone. The Dem leadership is simply banking on the next election result.
If justice had run it's course the first time, we wouldn't be in this situation. Please keep pressure on the process running better this time around. I will not argue on those grounds, and whoever get's swept up, the more the better. But you are again centering the case around Trump. In a case that there has literally been no indication he would be involved in.
As for Acosta, I hope all information about the formation of the original plea deal come to light. But I don't see the same backlash in regards to the executive position for that situation. To complain about the situation now, when charges have finally been refiled after all these years, is absurd to me.
Again, I appreciate any pressure put on in regards for getting justice for the victims. But way too many only care about that as a secondary motivation. And that includes many posters here. Smear and accuse political opponents first, anything else just seems a bonus.
