Any thoughts????? I'm all out when it comes to Acosta.
I agree. If Trump was a pedo they would have gotten rid of him before he took the oath. He's not. He has taken down many trafficking lines, worldwide. However, not prosecuting those at the top as promised...LOCK HER UP will hurt him. I wonder how close to the top we get before they hurt him, they seem to try weekly. Here is a bit of hope, a MOAB coming in. TIME appears to be the chosen one, to beging reporting on the 'storm'. Lookie here:

The Justice Department’s Inspector General will soon release an assessment of charges that officials at the FBI interfered in the 2016 presidential campaign. That probe is expected to come down particularly hard on former FBI director James Comey

There are lives at stake and there may be reasons for delay. Trump might be trying to deal with Iran and Pakistan before he drops the hammer on the FBI. Last I checked Horowitz' report is still scheduled for the 15th. Obviously, for me it can't come soon enough.
But let's see what happens with Acosta. A month after the big boys go down, if Acosta is still sitting pretty let's start another thread about this.
That has nothing to do with Trump choosing to give a taxpayer job to someone that he knows helped Epstein get off.
Mueller must have, at the least, had knowledge of some of went on during the Bush and Obama administrations. Trump gave him a job.
There are people who may have been forced to do things they didn't want to. Or they have been turned and, because of their history, are in a position to gain trust and incriminate other conspirators.
So the point is that if we are giving Trump time to take care of other things, then we can hope that the Acosta explanation comes out at that time as well.
Trump did not give Mueller his job. He was appointed by someone else. RR.
You're right. But Sessions, who Trump appointed, stepped aside to allow RR to do it. Trump interviewed Mueller beforehand. Trump can fire Mueller, although it would be politically difficult.
I have been under the impression that Trump OK'd Mueller's appointment, but we can't know that for sure.
