You can also listen to podcast with McKay Coppins on NPR's Fresh Air. A bit chilling.

I hope Conchita has personal protection. She is scaring a lot of very powerful people. The best place to start is the latest edition of the outstanding Skullduggery Podcast: Investigating Jeffrey Epstein . After listening to the podcast it appears that Palm Beach DA Barry Krischer is one of many prosecutors who are more culpable than Acosta. In 2011 Sarnoff and colleague Lee Aitken confronted Acosta with an internal email, which led Acosta to detail his side of his story to the The Daily Beast at that time. The story was updated in 2017 after Acosta became Secretary of Labor. How Epstein “ got off easy "  "Epstein had assembl...
