The Ties That Bind Jeffrey Epstein, William Barr & Donald Trump

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.

Apparently, the hire was a successful one. The New Yorker wrote in a 2003 profile on Epstein, “he was something of a Robin Williams–in–Dead Poets Society type of figure, wowing his high-school classes with passionate mathematical riffs.” Epstein’s mathematical skills caught the eye of Bear Stearns’ chairman, Alan “Ace” Greenberg, whose son attended the Dalton School. Greenberg hired Epstein as an options trader and the former teacher was able to amass a fortune.

Barr must’ve seen something in that young man, otherwise there’s no logical rationale for the hire.

2. Only if We the People demand it.

Fox won’t mention this story.

3. I just want Democrats to mention it,

so far I have seen Ted Lieu call for Labor Secty. Acosta to resign.

4. If AG Holder's dad hired Jeff Epstein...

President Obama would be mentioned by the GOP.

Odd, the Silence.

5. As my Grandfather used to say:

This s**thouse runs deep. It seems almost certain the orange menace resides there. Who else?

7. Rupert Murdoch

From the Guardian in 2015:

Under the letter B alone are listed Tony Blair, Michael Bloomberg, and Richard Branson. Elsewhere there are multiple contacts – typically at offices, homes, and via aides’ mobile phones – for Bill Clinton, Rupert Murdoch, Donald Trump, Dustin Hoffman, Naomi Campbell, and dozens of other A-listers.

6. Dems must continue to stir a dozen or more pots

in hearings, interviews and Presidential candidate question and answer sessions with the press. Exposure to the light of day will assist the country in reducing the plague of Conservatives infecting our country if the populace learns more.

I'm talking Independents and marginal Dem voters. The Deplorables are drunk on the koolaid and lost for generations.

8. Public hearings would make excellent teaching opportunities...

...until then, use every chance to spell out Trump-Epstein connections, including their “Falling Out.”

From Daily Kos:

Epstein, he writes, invited Trump to see a $36m Palm Beach mansion he planned to buy. According to Wolff, Trump went behind Epstein’s back to buy the foreclosed property for around $40m, a sum Epstein had reason to believe Trump couldn’t raise in his own right, through an entity called Trump Properties LLC, which was entirely financed by Deutsche Bank.

Epstein, Wolff writes, knew Trump had been loaning out his name in real estate deals for a fee and suspected that in his case Trump was fronting for the property’s real owners. Epstein threatened to expose the deal. As the dispute increased, he found himself under investigation by the Palm Beach police.

According to Wolff, Trump made only minor improvements and put the house on the market for $125m. It was purchased for $96m by Rybolovlev, part of a circle of government-aligned industrialists in Russia, thereby earning Trump $55m without risking any of his own money.

I also would welcome commentary from the leadership and candidates on this. You are spot-on regarding its impact on the electorate, NoMireRepugs.

The rich are different, Donald.
