I think they'll try to use this to go after the Clinton's...again.
There won't be anything, of course.
I just doubt Barr's sincerity or his so-called outrage.

(50,922 posts)Epstein had no qualifications for the job.
The Dalton School was an elite prep school where most teachers had advanced degrees.
Epstein didn't have a Bachelor's degree.
Barr's father hired him anyway.

(53,743 posts)to make sure nothing comes back to him and trump as there are personal connections between Barr and Epstein, not to mention the well publizised ones between trump and Epstein. Plus we all know how he whitewashed the Mueller Report.
On July 8, Barr made his final comments on the matter and said, I am recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm I subsequently joined for a period of time. Back in 2007, Epstein pleaded guilty to a state charge of soliciting sex and prostitution with an underaged girl, was sentenced to to 13 months incarceration, but spent a bulk of that time on work release or in the jails private wing.
The deal was made between Acosta, who previously worked at Kirkland & Ellis, and was the Miami U.S. attorney at the time, and Kirkland & Ellis senior partner Jay Lefkowitz, along with colleagues Kenneth Starr, Gerald Lefcourt, and Alan Dershowitz. Court records show Kirkland & Ellis continued to represented Epstein through 2011, while Barr worked at the firm.
William Barrs Father Allegedly Hired Epstein in the 1970s
Frank Figliuzzi, a former FBI Assistant Director for counterintelligence said that Barrs Father, Donald Barr, once hired Epstein to teach at Dalton School, a private academy in New York City. Back in 1973, even though Epstein had not obtained a college degree, Donald brought Epstein, who was only 20 years old, and had dropped out of both Cooper Union and New York Universitys Courant Institute, was brought board to teach calculus and physics.

(11,885 posts)Barr and Epstein and Barr's dad are possibly involved with Epstein a lot more then we know, and he's working to bury this before trump and he and his dad get exposed. Putin also may be involved if Epstein was selling him dirt to use against other very powerful people. This smells to high heaven what's happened to Epstein, and we're seeing this country turn into putin's criminal government here now.

(67 posts)Everything points to it. If I wrote for the rest of this evening, I could not cite all of the indications that Epstein is being used as a tool against the Democrats.
For years, the Alt Right has gone to extraordinary lengths to foster the impression that every Democrat -- and every non-Trumpist Republican -- with more than a million bucks to his name is a child rapist. The propaganda campaign has been nonstop. I mean, this propaganda campaign is the entire foundation of the QAnon subculture.
They would not have chosen this line of attack if they did not intend to use it as a political weapon.
Remember the woman who was offered $20,000 to lodge a sexual smear against Mueller? That was an amateurish attempt. Imagine what millions -- billions -- could purchase.
The latest allegations have targeted Democrats close to Clinton, plus Ehud Barak, whom Netanyahu despises. It is inevitable that false accusations -- backstopped by seemingly-incontrovertible documentary "evidence" -- will be leveled against Clinton himself.
When the attack hits, DU and similar sites will be flooded with "feminists" (who probably live in St. Petersburg) insisting that we must believe the women without question. You can easily foresee the kind of rhetoric they'll use.
Any male Democrat will be vulnerable. The female Democrats will be vulnerable via their husbands and former boyfriends.
What is about to hit us will be BRUTAL. It will be Franken times a million. It may wipe out the party, and perhaps democracy itself. Any number of dunderheaded young "woke" progressives will aid and abet the destruction of America.
