Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsRemember when Barr recused himself from the Epstein case?
Because of past family connections to Epstein?
Then changed his mind shortly thereafter?
Someone gave him a talking-to and forced him to un-recuse.
Why was it so important - and to whom - that Barr remain involved?

"Can you believe the Democrats thought Epstein would talk, Bill?"
"Well. Barring something untoward."

(10,054 posts)Barr did not recuse himself from Epsteins current prosecution in Manhattan, and is now instructing the Department of Justices inspector general to open a probe into the disgraced financiers death. Before Epsteins alleged suicide, he was facing 45 years in prison if convicted of conspiracy and sex trafficking dozens of underage girls in New York and Florida.
There is concern over William Barrs involvement in Epsteins case, not only for the way he handled Robert Muellers testimony over the Russian probe, but because of his personal ties with Epstein himself.

Barr born 1950, Epstein born 1950. Edit Epstein born 1953.
Barr's father hired Epstein age 20 (William Barr then 23) to teach math at Dalton School.

(8,839 posts)Point is that Epstein age 20 came to work at Dalton School where Wm Barr's father was headmaster. Wm Barr was then 23 and likely became acquainted with Epstein initially at that times.
