Alexander Acosta, the current U.S. Labor Secretary, is in the hot seat, since a dozen years ago he was the U.S. Attorney for South Florida who cut that deal with Epstein. Ward explained the background of that deal, which is now a noose for Acosta. Specifically, she elaborated that the Epstein issue came up when Acosta was appointed to the cabinet by President Donald Trump. Ward writes: 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.)
Here's another statement from years ago that supports Acosta:
Zero Hedge
It should be noted the reason I attach credibility to the above is based on who wrote it, Vicky Ward. She has an extensive history of digging into Epstein, and wrote one of the earliest profiles on him back in 2003. As she notes in today’s article: I spent many months on his trail in 2002 for Vanity Fair and discovered not only that he was not who he claimed to be professionally, but also that he had allegedly assaulted two young sisters, one of whom had been underage at the time. Very bravely, they were prepared to go on the record. They were afraid he’d use all his influence to discredit them—and their fear turned out to be legitimate. As the article was being readied for publication, Epstein made a visit to the office of Vanity Fair’s then-editor, Graydon Carter, and suddenly the women and their allegations were removed from the article. “He’s sensitive about the young women,” Carter told me at the time. (Editor’s Note: Carter has previously denied this allegation.) He also mentioned he’d finagled a photograph of Epstein in a swimsuit out of the encounter. And there was also some feeble excuse about the article “being stronger as a business story.” (Epstein had also leaned heavily on my ex-husband’s uncle, Conrad Black, to try to exert his influence on me, which was particularly unwelcome, given that Black happened to be my ex-husband’s boss at the time.) Many people had assumed Epstein was untouchable merely because he had so much dirt on so many powerful people, but it increasingly looks far bigger than that. It appears he may have been untouchable because he was systematically collecting this information on behalf of an intelligence agency. If so, we need to find out precisely who he was working for.
“I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone”

Several days ago I wrote another thread that I thought that Acosta was told as to how to handle the Epstein situation back in 2008 from someone above him. So come forward another day or so and hes beginning to crack under pressure. I have seen this behavior among powerful people including Presidents in publicly traded corporations. So within the last 24 hours it is now being reported out by several news organizations that he now says that he was told to basically back off as Epstein was was an intelligence operative. First of all any US Attorney always wants the big fish and that was his. Epstein's money can buy anything and who knows whom did what to whom and for whom but in the case of Acosta his statement makes sense to me. Also, back in 2008 the FBI was contacted about this situation with Mueller in charge. I sure would like to see who was assigned and what was uncovered. Probably nothing so Acosta had to punt and get a light sentence. I do not believe that hes going to fall on his sword on this one. But as in the arena of INTEL what is up is down and vise versa. So lets watch and see how this plays out.
Here's just one link as there are several out there.

There is also another site which includes a reverse Psyop story mocking and making fun of the guy for stating:
“I was told Epstein ‘belonged to intelligence’ and to leave it alone”
Hay, the guy just wanted to live and go on with his career as we all have to play by others rules. It seems like INTEL is already trying to neutralize the guy

are you trying to say the CIA is behind child sex trafficking
NO!
I read an article from 2016 that suggested he was possibly Mossad but no connection was ever made and if he was INTEL it wasn's USA

Considering Epstein lookup to Robert Maxwell and try to pattern himself like him, I would say he could be a Mossad's asset. Robert Maxwell, had an interesting career, to say the least. Not to mention his daughter, Ghislaine Maxwell, works as his personal procurer of girls, his side dish and personal pilot.

I think you are quite possibly hitting the nail on the head with this comment...
