56. Why Barr took the job.

Sun Sep 6, 2020, 10:43 AM

Sep 2020

Barr campaigned for the job. Why would he want it? He was retired and had a decent reputation.
Epstein and Barr were roughly the same age when Epstein worked for Barr's father teaching teenagers math at the private school in NYC. Epstein was certainly abusing young girls at that time. My guess is that Barr was taking advantage of the situation as well. The gig was up for Epstein and Barr needed to get rid of him before he spilled all the beans. AS AG he controls the Fed prisons.
Barr made a surprise visit on a weekend to Epstein's accomplice in jail to fine out what she knows about him. Her lawyer would not let him talk to her.
