Acosta digs a deeper hole

Axios

Trump insiders tell Axios that Labor Secretary Alex Acosta did little to help himself at his high-stakes news conference defending his handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case when he was a federal prosecutor in Florida.

The state of play: Trump hates being goaded into action by media outcries, and a source close to the president said there was "zero" chance he fires Acosta right away. "Zero," the source repeated — but allowing for Trump's impetuousness, another close source said: "I wouldn't say zero."

1. Un-related but

Is it true that Trump met Melania at one of Epstein's parties?

2. I think Melanoma had just turned 11.

Ivanka was 6. It was a hard choice.

5. Maleria was too old

by the time she arrived to become a "top model" I think she was in her 20's.The "modelling agency" she worked for was a front for sex workers.

7. Her nude photos bear that out..n/t

4. C'mon folks

Trump and Epstein just ran around at the same social clubs. Trump barely knew Epstein. Epstein only had 14 Trump phone numbers in his little black book. I keep thinking about that one someone help me out. Why did Trump give Epstein 14 phone numbers? Maybe a reporter can ask Trump that question? What did Epstein have that was so important to Trump that Trump needed to give him 14 phone numbers?

8. We should wonder how many burner phones Chump has used over the years

...or for that matter, now many burners has Epstein used? Chump probably told him, "Don't ever call me directly from your own phone. Call one of my kids, leave a message and I'll return the call." (Or something like that.)

The feds still have a long way to go in investigating these guys.
