Unless you have evidence otherwise, I'm going to assume that no other cabinet members, past or present, abused their previous office to aid and abet a serial pedophile.

This must be a really bad story, as it seems that DC is trying to get way ahead in his usual defense of everything Trump with some early whataboutism.

Nah.
Hold on, I got this:
"He said he didn't do it. He was sincere. He seemed sincere. He was pretty firm in his denial. I believe him."

That's the thing. They KNEW, without question, that he did it. And they still fucked the girls over and cut him the sweetheartiest of sweetheart deals.

So, what, DC? You want Pam Bondi for AG and not Alex Acosta, because you figure that she's less tainted?
Labor Secretary Alex Acosta has surfaced on the shortlist to replace former Attorney General Jeff Sessions. Any new AG will be faced with managing Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion by Trump’s campaign. Politico reports that Acosta told associates he is unlikely to accept the job if it is offered before Mueller issues his report, but would accept an offer with no conditions. That no conditions part may be a deal-breaker for Trump. However, Acosta would be more easily confirmed since he has already gone through a Senate confirmation process for his current cabinet post. The son of Cuban refugees, who went on to graduate from Harvard law school and clerked for the Supreme Court, has some Republicans in Senate leadership rooting for him to take the position. And sources tell Bloomberg that Trump also has developed a strong relationship with Acosta -- but that could change should Acosta get confirmed as AG and, like Sessions, let the collusion investigation proceed without interference. Other strong contenders have also emerged including former NJ Governor Chris Christie, Florida AG Pam Bondi, and former U.S. Attorney General William Barr.

If you're only about getting this guy out of the Cabinet, then fine.
He's a bad guy and one has to wonder about the attorneys who associated with him, like Starr and Dershowitz.

Yeah. I'd like to see him gone. More importantly, I'd like to see him out of consideration for AG.
This is insane.
