won t be able to get a fair sentencing from sullivan since he brought up the word treason. i wonder what you thought about that, and you see defenders of flynn and the president saying that the f.b.i. did do something wrong. listen to something eli lake wrote on bloomberg site saying evidence is lacking, yes, he ark tended gala for russia propaganda network, rt, before the trump campaign. during the transition as add visor, flynn would have been expected. hold that thought, we have sarah sanders. sarah sanders: world economic forum will take place in switzerland from january 22-25. the president will attend as he did last year. secretary of the treasury steven nnuchin will lead the delegation, including secretary of state mike pompeo, secretary of commerce, wilmur ross. alex accosta. secretary of transportation,
this florida case involving jeffrey epstein. the current labor secretarialy alex accosta. they did an incredible expo say. he gave him a plea deal that result ed in federal immunity after a three-page federal indictment had been drawn up on child rape, child molestation and all those things, gave him immunity, his coconspirators immunity as well. he ended up pleading guilty, he got to go home 12 hours a day for six days a week. senator ben sass is the one republican senator who has said, this is an issue the justice department should explain that deal, especially given that the u.s. attorney who did it is now a cabinet secretary. how is this an appropriate avenue of inquiry for the senate? should the justice department have to explain itself? and why is ben sass the only republican who seems to care about it? i m glad that he cares and, of course, i care very much as
i will retweet it. it is grotesque. and these women deserve justice. and women is getting a little ahead of the maturity curve here. many were as young as 13. frightening. many of them were young teenagers. theerz what we hear from accosta. this is the part i ve never really heard this from the federal prosecutor, let alone someone who is supposedly politically ambitious. usually they take on cases you want to argue to be hyper aggressive. here, they say well, started as a state case. so really, you know, it was a little tough for the fed that s never true, especially when there is interstate movement. which therein arguably was. accosta said it was tough to prove. one of the local investigators said it wasn t. they say in truth, we were bullied by epstein s lawyers. when have you ever heard the federal government say, it s hard for us to bring this case. this guy is really lawyered up. they re coming after us, we got the brush back on it. it just doesn t make sense and he g
let s see if i can get you two guys on the same page about something else. the labor secretary accosta, why does he still have a job? anna, given what we re learning about the jeffrey epstein prosecution. i can t tell you how disturbed how horrified i am by the story. fearful disclosure, this wasn t 100% on my radar. anna sent me this story ten, 12 days ago. hey, you want to pay attention to things and go deep, don t forget about this story. fair point. we re on it now. absolutely. i thank you for doing this because i feel that in the barrage of news of daily news that we re dealing with, this story is getting buried. and it involves sex trafficking of maybe up to 80 under-age girls that were as young as 13 and 14 years old when they were getting abused and molested by this multi-millionaire who got a sweetheart plea deal from alex accosta when he was u.s. attorney. i know alex accosta. he s been very well regarded in south florida. this is something that got swept under the ru
epstein loves women, beautiful women as much as i do. he likes them pretty young, too. but so now that s being hung around his neck as a statement. certainly an awkward one as a context. no implication of him as to these types of actions, but why put him into the cabinet level business, why do that? what happened to only the best? i don t know that the president was aware of everybody knew. about the scandal. everybody knew. it s been going on since 2007. he got a slap on the wrist, i believe no slap. 13 months in county jail. a prosecution deal on the county level, it was only state time. he did 13 months. work release six days a week, anna. six days a week he got to work from home. six days he did work release, six days a week, 12 hours a day. it is laughable. and, you know, look. let me tell you this. when alex accosta got nominated by donald trump, i actually said it was a good thing because, as
