Reminder: Bill Barr's father was connected to Epstein decades ago.

[RockRaven]

IIRC, Barr's father hired Epstein to teach at a middle school/high school even though Epstein was a college dropout. Around that time, Barr's father wrote a novel in which a character is sold into slavery (but that's just a gross coincidence, right? ).

Separate from Trump's connection to Epstein, separate from Barr's history of lying to the public about DOJ investigations, separate from Barr's history of covering up wrong-doing by the executive branch, there is STILL ample reason why Barr's own personal connections/conflicts prevent any investigation the DOJ or FBI conducts into Epstein's death (and also his sex crimes) from having the required credibility.

Congress must engage in extremely aggressive oversight on this matter, and consider impeaching Barr as soon as the inevitable obstructionism and non-cooperation manifests.

6. Barr is so crooked

he wouldn't recuse himself from a DOJ investigation into Barr.

3. That is like asking Putin not to torture and murder. It is what they do

5. Barr stepped up to be Attn'y General soon after Miami Herald broke their Epstein Series.

People wondered why Barr jumped back into political life. When it came out about Headmaster Barr's bizarre link to Epstein plus that
Barr's father was fired for undisclosed reasons...well, that seemed pretty tight. And, as The Iran Contra Fixer, Barr certainly had all the chops for Trump to believe (correctly) that he'd found his Roy Cohn.
