But but but - - according to some things Acosta said a little earlier in the year, some of Epstein's "crimes" went back as far as 2001.  But apparently a lot of money changed hands so these crimes were swept under the rug at the time.  NOW Acosta wants the bulk of us to believe he is trying to do the right thing???  My ass.

Acosta and others apparently couldn't make up their minds, until now, whether or not Epstein was guilty of something worth pursuing.  Is that how the laws of this country work?  Money talks.
