WOW! Trump says he'll be "looking at" Epstein's sex crimes case "very carefully." HE'S ON IT! USA!

Trump told reporters at the White House that Acosta has been a “very good” Labor secretary and that Acosta probably wished he had handled the Epstein plea deal “a different way.”

The president added that he would be looking at the case “very carefully.”

“I feel very badly, actually, for Secretary Acosta because I’ve known him as being somebody that works so hard and has done such a good job,” Trump said during an Oval Office meeting with the emir of Qatar.

The president also sought to distance himself from his onetime friend Epstein. The two men used to socialize together in Palm Beach, Fla.

“He was a fixture in Palm Beach. I had a falling out with him a long time ago. I don’t think I’ve spoken to him for 15 years. I wasn’t a fan,” Trump said.

https://www.rawstory.com/2019/05/new-book-paints-sordid-picture-of-trump-real-estate-deal-involving-russian-oligarch-and-jeffrey-epstein/

....."According to Wolff’s account, Epstein showed his friend Trump a $55 million mansion he planned to buy, but Trump instead went behind his back to buy the foreclosed property for about $40 million.

Epstein didn’t believe Trump could raise that much money on his own, through an entity called Trump Properties LLC that was entirely financed by Deutsche Bank, Wolff wrote.

The billionaire financier knew Trump had been loaning out his name in real estate deals for a fee, and he suspected the freshly minted reality TV star was fronting for the mansion’s real owners.

Epstein threatened to expose the deal until he found himself under investigation by Palm Beach police for child sex abuse and human trafficking, and he eventually served 13 months in county jail as part of a controversial plea agreement brokered by Trump’s future Labor Secretary Alex Acosta.

Trump later put the mansion on the market for $125 million, despite making only minor improvements to the property.

It was purchased for $96 million by Dmitry Rybolovlev, a Kremlin-linked industrialist — which meant Trump made $55 million on the deal despite risking none of his own money.".....(more)

complained to Trump. Trump then banned Epstein from Mar-a-Lago and evidently cut ties with him. Too close for comfort if his guests were complaining. Best not let on what buddies they were.

"Super Donnie is on the case!" He gives out a quote to make his sheep think he cares and then rolls over and turns Fox and Friends back on. A call to DOJ to tell Barr to get them off his ass - that should do it.
Another crisis handled by Super Donnie!

Step 1. Browbeat Barr into "unrecusing," whatever the hell that is. (Done)

Step 2. Barr orders the the US Attorney for the SDNY to dismiss.

Step 3. What sex crimes case? Nothing to see here. Move along.

Step 4. Jeff is a great guy, and a lot of fun!
