me to stay in this position and continue talking about a case that's 12 year's old. >> acosta is basically blaming the press coverage, huge amount of press coverage, given the public revulsion and the deals 1 years ago that he approved or personally negotiated is not pretty big and legitimate story. >> i don't know if it's covered that well, looking at how the only person who actually got the guy in jail was alex acosta. it can be for a number of reasons, the evidence theyed that for trafficking was not strong enough for conviction, as report bid the miami herald that he was serving as government informant and they did work that they found sufficiently or powerful people at the administration called him. making it as simple as this guy is bad because he was part of the plea deal.
