>A new report from The Daily Beast shed light on a potential reason that alleged pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was given the deal of a lifetime when he was convicted on child prostitution charges in 2008.
>“Is the Epstein case going to cause a problem [for confirmation hearings]?” Acosta had been asked.
>Acosta had explained, breezily, apparently, that back in the day he’d had just one meeting on the Epstein case.
>He’d cut the non-prosecution deal with one of Epstein’s attorneys because he had “been told” to back off, that Epstein was above his pay grade.

>(The Labor Department had no comment when asked about this.)
