Feeling the Heat

Donald Trump's Secretary of Labor Alexander Acosta resigned yesterday (details here) as a result of the mushrooming scandal involving the sweetheart deal he cut as a federal prosecutor with billionaire pedophile and Trump friend Jeffrey Epstein.

As the article linked above notes, the resignation under obvious pressure was entirely about protecting Trump. The longer the spotlight played on Acosta, the longer that same media attention was focused on the sexual predator in the White House and his many connections to Epstein.

That may give Trump a short reprieve from attention for a while but it isn't a long-term solution. Trump now faces the real danger of something far more daunting: Epstein going on trial immediately before the 2020 election.
