The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

And it's not just them, it's multiple other folks.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

So for the very first time, we are interviewing these key figures

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

The oversight committee is not law enforcement, but a congressional committee in trying to put this investigation together.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

The folks that should have been interviewing these people were the FBI, were the Department of Justice, were local police departments, but no one did anything.

Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

And so that part to me has been stunning and clearly points

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

to a coverup of where folks were pulling strings to ensure that people weren't being interviewed and that the truth wouldn't get out.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

So that part has been, I think, the most surprising.

Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

The second one I'll say,

The Bulwark Podcast

is all signs point back to Alex Acosta.

And I think what people don't realize is when the 2008 sweetheart deal happened with Jeffrey Epstein, which was essentially given to him by Alex Acosta, numerous prosecutors in Florida had gone to Acosta and said, look, we have evidence to go after strong federal charges.

Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

We have evidence to go after co-conspirators.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

There's a lot here.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

For whatever reason, Alex Acosta makes a decision to say, we're not going to do any of that.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

And instead, we're going to give Epstein this slap on the wrist.

Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

He serves less than a year and has his own house arrest.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

He gets to walk around.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

And not only is- Like walk around town, not walk around the prison yard.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

He's basically not in prison.

The Bulwark Podcast
Catherine Rampell and Robert Garcia: China Is Starting to Eclipse the U.S.

I mean, it's basically a fake conviction.

And then he goes on to continue to rape and abuse women and children.
