While Politico reports that White House officials were impressed by Labor Secretary Alex Acosta’s performance during a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, at least one Fox News analyst has lost faith in the Cabinet member.
“You know, I watched the press conference, obviously. And then I read the transcript of it. When you read it, it sounds lawyerly and elegant. But it was not persuasive,” Fox News’ Andrew Napolitano said on “Fox and Friends” Thursday morning. “I don’t think he persuaded anybody that he did the right thing. He had a tremendous amount of evidence against Mr. Epstein and he should have indicted him.”
When “Fox and Friends” co-host Steve Doocy asked for his prediction on how long Acosta will remain in the administration, Napolitano wasn’t very optimistic.
“I don’t think he will be around by Friday,” he said.

It’s scary when the Fox commentators make sense,
I lost my decoder ring.
How many Scaramuccis is that?
Fox just needs something to point to in response to the inevitable lawsuit about in kind campaign donations…
I think we know who the real victim is here - an aging white billionaire. When will this persecution end? What kind of country have we become if we do not permit a billionaire to share his hobby of dating underage girls with his wealthy friends?
OT – But more importantly and probably also connected as a huge MFing distraction of Constitutional proportions. The man is intent on breaking and destroying America’s blueprint for democracy.
That’ll be sure to knock the Acosta shit off the front page. Each time the scandals and the stakes get higher for tRump, his major announcements and wildly insane redirections for the media take the form of another week of clusterfucking the system.
