(40,915 posts)There was an earlier comment today with that theory.
That Barr took the job to erase any records concerning Epstein and Barr's dad.
2naSalit
(101,816 posts)Of all his dirty dealings in the office are serious and this is one but it's the personal one for him. His dad had serious connections and may have set up the global human sex/arms trafficking network and Barr most certainly has inherited major stock in the enterprise.
It's a disgusting tale but just watch, it will be very much like that when the truth is known.

"@harrylitman
Manhattan US Attorney Audrey Strauss files charges against Epstein enabler Ghislaine Maxwell. Lots and lots of social elite have to be terrified: if she opts to cooperate, her little black book could inculpate a who's who of bigwig assailants."
--------------------
This is why Barr is firing attorneys like a madman, & replacing them with his cronies.
SDNY is sitting back watching him run like a rat in a maze.
And they have the exit blocked & Barr's at the point where he starts gnawing through the walls to escape his fate. Crouched on all fours, sweating bullets & glancing over his shoulder.

Barr's recent behavior and his sudden attempt to visit Maxwell really makes a lot of people look guilty, whether they are or not. He's trying to protect at least a few people.
I hope this corrupt, fat bastard gets busted so badly. I want to see him spend the rest of his life in prison.
Budi
(15,325 posts)and protect the dirty ones.
Barr has to be completely owned by the mob.
His entire career has followed this same arrogant pattern.

(53,061 posts)Barr's father was the first employer of record in hiring the erstwhile overachiever Epstein as a teach at the school where Barr's father was the headmaster.
Long before any allegations of sexual misconduct were made but there was a family connection.
Again without any source this doesn't even rate as a well founded rumor.

(3,431 posts)... for the worlds most wealthy and powerful men that are their clients and guaranteed that the secret was safe from public knowledge.
Bill Barr is providing a service to the worlds most powerful men who are his clients to insure that their secrets are safe from public courts, law enforcement and nosey organizations that seek information about them.
Bill Barr has to personally deliver a message to Ms Maxwell that is so secret that no one else can be trusted to deliver it. It is likely the same message that he delivered to Epstein.
Maxwell has been on the run for more than a year which seems to indicate that she has a desire to live, but Bill Barr has a job to do.
Maxwell knows secrets, Barr must keep them a secret.

Kid Berwyn
(23,971 posts)And then the cameras will go on the fitz and oh well.
Wonder what Epstein asked for?
For some reason, the television refuses to remind viewers the AGs dad Donald Barr hired the college dropout Jeffrey Epstein to teach at an elite college prep school in Manhattan.
budkin
(6,849 posts)And he's the one who fired the SDNY prosecutor. Trump is directly connected to Epstein.

GulfCoast66
(11,949 posts)You referenced a now deleted post not confirmed by any reliable source. And said sounds like.
This entire thread is just bullshit. If the AG wanted to talk to a defendant, and I would not it past Barr, no lawyer could stop him. He is the top law enforcement officer in the land. A defendant could refuse to answer questions but they would not stop him from talking to her.
One of the main reason I joined DU is because it is fact and science based. There are plenty of left and right wing sites that arent. Most as a matter of fact.
When I see a reputable source that tells me this happened I will be as outraged as anyone. But none of us have seen that. Just some unknown dude on twitter who deleted had post.
The reason Im not on Facebook, Twitter or any other site is because most use algorithms to feed you shit you want to read. DU does not.
I hope it stays that way.

(37,748 posts)rather than an informal discussion board filled with speculation, opinion, and editorial? If so, I can only hope you begin holding yourself to that same standard sooner rather than later.
(e.g., 'sounds like' is an informal qualifier that the statement proceeding is not in fact an absolute, but rather a speculative opinion)

(26,032 posts)I will kill you too if you say one word. That's what Barr wants to communicate with her in person so he can provide the maximum leverage to the hate/death stare and that she gets this is a promise. I'd be very afraid if I were her.

(2,849 posts)Of course, his fixer status for tRump is well known, but his father hired Epstein in his youth - a totally unqualified and inexperienced person - to teach maths in his private school. It's been a while since I read about this some eighteen months or so ago and I've forgotten the finer details of the story. At any rate, this is probably as personal to Barr and their family as it is relevant to DJT. I'm glad Maxwell's attorney blocked his "visit". Let's see how long they're able to keep this up. I've got a sneaky suspicion that it's going to collapse pretty soon and he'll find a way to sneak his considerable berth in to "see" her, with fatal consequences for her to follow.
Texin
(2,849 posts)as he essentially did before with Epstein. He went there to assess her cell conditions and get the general lay of the land before issuing his "instructions" to the inside people of the jail how to off her.

(3,429 posts)If her lawyer is denying the fucking Attorney General of the United States permission to see or talk to her, she's got to be singing like a canary and is poised to bring some serious shit down on a lot of powerful heads. She's an accomplice in a lot of nasty shit, and she's not going to take the hit herself. From what I understand, Epstein had tapes of everything in his safe. By the time this is over, Trump may pray for the release of a tape showing Russian hookers peeing on the bed.
They better keep this witness safe. I hope they do. I might even pray on it. Unfortunately, I live in Vegas, so chances are I'd have better odds of finding a betting line as to when she commits suicide.
Vinca
(53,725 posts)Barr might arrange for her to "commit suicide."
soldierant
(9,308 posts)Remember the most recent Friday Night massacre when he tried, at first unsuccessfully, to dump the SDNY prosecutor And then a deal was reached and much was made of the SDNY, this prosecutor, and his successor, in particular, protecting the caseload of SDNY? Well, the Maxwell case is one of the cases in that load.. The charges were signed by the prosecutor's former deputy and now successor.
Yeah, keep that big ape away from her.
scarletwoman
(31,893 posts)It's a completely unsourced rumor. Why are DUers acting just like rightwingers - believing anything that suits their biases?
