Attorney in new york, did he go after epstein? no. did any of these democratic prosecutors go after him in new york? no. so, alex acosta was the only u.s. attorney to say no, i will not allow this to go forward without this meant having to plead, admit that he committed crimes, and that he register as a sex offender and go to jail, and the other problem with our legal system is that they agree to certain terms about going to jail, and then they were all -- i think that is incredibly frustrating, that they can't even hold a criminal like epstein accountable when they actually do you plead. even...

Never said why he didn't pursue a more extensive investigation if you believed it. that plays into the whole idea of what we're looking at here is powerful, rich men who have access to not only the political system but the justice system, using it to their benefit to cover their crimes. i think a lot of people are outraged by it. >> bill: kevin corke makes a relevant point when it comes to the white house. once you are a distraction, you're on shaky ground. >> i think that the press conference that acosta had the other day had several really interesting moments. one of the most interesting was...

Easy on epstein? or did he indeed get the best deal possible? >> that's a factual issue that is impossible for us to know. it's easy to sit there if you are on nonlawyer, or if you're a lawyer 15 years later, and safe it's a slam-dunk. but we weren't there. we didn't know the strengths and weaknesses. i will say this, the lead prosecutor on the case, they said more than half of the witnesses didn't want to testify. well over half of them were reluctant to have their names they are. this is the same woman that did want to apparently did want to go ahead with the indictment. not involved in the ...

[indistinct question] >> regarding epstein, do you have anything -- >> president trump: know, i had no idea. i haven't spoken to him in many, many years. but i did not know. [indistinct question] >> president trump: i've already talked about the epstein matter. according to the media, it was longer than any other cabinet official in this administration. i will reiterate what i said previously. my point here today is we have an amazing economy. we have unemployment lower than we have seen literally in my lifetime, and the focus needs to be on this economy, on the workplace, and in mining, and i...

This whole question about epstein. i'm sorry that it became a bit about alex acosta, who had all of this, that is not what the focus should be. as julie said. it should be on epstein, the people that participated in these escapades with his criminal behavior with epstein, the politicians epstein has cozied up to, and that really is where the story should go. >> julie: but you can't ignore the fact that acosta did cut a deal with a dangerous and disgusting man. i mean, there is no question there. there is no excuse. there is no justifying. could you possibly find a reason why any judge or any l...
