Those prosecutors need to be charged.

You know the prosecutor went on to work for Trump right?

Alex Acosta! LOCK HIM UP!!!

Everyone is ignoring the third guy in the photo with Trump and Epstein at Mar-a-Lago. The stocky guy with the mustache is Guzman (aka Chapo) who started his crime life trafficking under age girls. How this went unnoticed, or people just did not care, is a mystery.

[@noanyobiseniss7462]

Double standards for the rich and connected. Is anyone surprised???

[@johnphantom]

Little deeper than that. Epstein I am sure was selling his information to anyone, and directly to the CIA and Mossad.

I can't stop laughing at DeSantis attempting to sound like his statement is actually true. I wonder if any reports are willing to track down the original prosecutor to the case and see how "Well" he is doing. I'm certain this man left his office far wealthier than when he entered.

Way to DeSantis. Dont like your political views but you actually care about rap victims. My mom is a rap victim and this stuff really makes me mad. She is my hero. She was younger then some of these women that are now coming out. All these victims have now become my heros as well. 😢
