The swamp. You have to clean up the FBI and the DOJ before you can get anything done.
>Lenient plea deal for Jeffrey Epstein in deal struck by former Federal Prosecutor now Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta.
Acosta approved a highly unusual non-prosecution agreement granting Epstein, four others, and “any potential co-conspirators” federal immunity and kept the deal secret from Epstein’s victims.
“When Congress returns to work in January, we’re asking the Senate to quickly pass the Inspector General Access Act of 2017, House Bill 3154. This would give DOJ Inspector General Michael Horowitz a clear path to investigate Acosta now — if he wishes to do so.
The Justice Department’s inspector general thoroughly made the case for the legislation in a previously unreported letter sent to Congress at the end of November. “There is no principled reason to have two standards of oversight at DOJ—one for federal agents, who are subject to statutorily independent and transparent oversight by the OIG [Office of Inspector General], and one for federal prosecutors, who are not for allegations of professional misconduct. This is particularly true given the extraordinary power that Department lawyers have to charge individuals with crimes, to seek incarceration, and to pursue the seizure of assets and property,” Inspector General Horowitz wrote.
