When FBI supervisors in Miami met with new interim U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta last month, they wondered what the top enforcement priority for Acosta and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales would be.
Would it be terrorism? Organized crime? Narcotics trafficking? Immigration? Or maybe public corruption?
The agents were stunned to learn that a top prosecutorial priority of Acosta and the Department of Justice was none of the above. Instead, Acosta told them, it’s obscenity. Not pornography involving children, but pornographic material featuring consenting adults.
His own prosecutors have warned Acosta that prioritizing adult porn would reduce resources for prosecuting other crimes, including porn involving children. According to high-level sources who did not want to be identified, Acosta has assigned prosecutors porn cases over their objections. … Acosta [said] that this was Attorney General Gonzales’ mandate.
Also, to warm our hearts... FEMA has requested MAJOR nationwide support for Disaster Recovery of Hurricane Rita, scheduled to hit Texas Friday...
San Diego has mustered First Responders and Rescue groups and today they left for Texas... It took a week AFTER Katrina for FEMA to allow a small group of responders from San Diego to assist- they cooled their heels in Texas for DAYS... Wonder why the difference???
