"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. "I was told Epstein `belonged to intelligence' and to leave it 
alone," he told his interviewers in the Trump transition, who evidently thought that 
was a sufficient answer and went ahead and hired Acosta. (The Labor Department 
had no comment when asked about this.)
