Lemme see if I've got this straight---Barr recuses himself from the Epstein case because

[Atticus]

he once worked for a law firm that later---after he left---briefly represented Epstein. BUT---the fact that he got his AG job by writing a 19 page unsolicited love letter which basically said "Whatever the Donald does or says is just dandy with me!" is not a conflict of interest and is no reason to recuse from the obstruction of justice/conspiracy investigations.

Is that the BS we're being force-fed on an ongoing basis?

[PoliticAverse]

1. People get the BS that they are willing to excuse. n/t

[kentuck]

2. That's about it!

He should have recused a long time ago.

[Scarsdale]

5. He NEVER should have

been confirmed in the first place. Toady, tRump ass kisser, gop traitor from day one. He does fit in perfectly with this administration. Not a single honest, admirable, respectable member in the entire group. The British ambassador told the truth, now he is ostracized. He said what many in the gop do not have the courage to admit.

3. Actually this is a good thing....he is connected to all of this and could have interfered

[in2herbs]

4. I read an article where the SDNY prosecutors told the court that they found pics, DVDs and

CDs in Epstein's residence when it was raided and that one of the CDs was titled "Barr." The prosecutors informed the court that they have not yet reviewed the evidence, only collected it. I am anxious to hear more about this Barr CD as whatever is on this CD will probably be the reason he recused himself.

[Scarsdale]

6. I can hardly wait to see

what they have on Allan Dirty-Bits. He has been protesting any exposure for this. Methinks he doth protest too much.

7. Not sure that is accurate RE a CD with Barr on it

[Dr Hobbitstein]

9. Citation? nt

10. It could be Bill Barr's father

... who was a school administrator and he hired Epstein to teach full-time in the same school with no teaching degree, or any degree at all. How did Bill Barr's father see Epstein as qualified to be a teacher? Maybe he had something on him and it wasn't academic. That's how these guys operate.

I'm glad the feds got the evidence, we'll see how this plays out.

8. Barr's father had a strange link to Epstein

During Attorney General, William Barr’s confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasse’s (R-NE) questioning, however, diverged from the pack. Sasse asked Barr about the lenient sentence given out to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The future Attorney General told Sasse that he would look into the matter.

This, however, was not the first connection between Barr and his family and the disgraced pedophile. In 1973, Barr’s father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattan’s Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.

While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New York’s prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age.

11. Whether Epstein truly is a genius, he still needed a degree and teaching creds

There's something underhanded and very sketchy about all of this. I hope they arrest that girlfriend of his, she must know a lot and she's part of the trafficking if not the other stuff.

12. Depends on when..

20 or 30 years ago teaching standards were a lot looser. And if it was a private school even more so.

[CaptYossarian]

13. So, how many female pupils did Epstein recruit? Was Barr a "John"?

As far as how he got the teaching job, Barr's father got a note from Epstein's mother. (The kids won't get the reference.)

[SayItLoud]

14. Goes deeper than this I feel....

His father hired Epstein and maybe he doesn't want to have any connection to Epstein open for questioning. Barr also got a "tRUMPism" in by saying "this happened a long time ago".

[AtheistCrusader]

15. Barr must have an as-yet-undiscovered link to Epstein.

[SCVDem]

16. Isn't that a disease?

Barr-Epstein?

[Grown2Hate]

20. HA! Epstein-Barr is a form of the herpes virus. You can't make this shit up. EOM

[Indykatie]

17. Had Barr Not Recused There Would Probably Be An Equal Number Of Folks Unhappy About It.

[dchill]

21. He's had it leaked that he's not recusing...

Trump doesn't like AGs who recuse.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

18. OP spot on. Barr doesn't want to touch diseased Epstein case because it is diseased. That's it. . nt

19. Epstein-Barr Virus
