A review of the various pies William Barr's got his plump fingers in.

WHEN HOLLOW MEN in positions of great power do terrible things, chances are, William Barr is there to lend a helping hand.

For the last half century, Barr has been part Forrest Gump, part Winston Wolf—uncannily adjacent to key people and events, and always ready, willing, and able to help cover up the mess. In the Venn diagram of said people and events, he is the nexus, the Man in the Middle. And like the model Catholic warrior in his warped view of that great religion, he will hold the line until he dies.

Let’s examine some of these key people and events to which Barr is connected:



Manhattan Prep School Sexual Abuse Scandals

Barr’s father, Donald Barr, a doctrinaire administrator who moonlighted as a sci-fi novelist, was from 1964-74 the headmaster at Dalton, a progressive co-ed prep school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan. The elder Barr was reportedly was kind of a prick, with a bad reputation. According to Noel Casler, he was known to students as “Chester the Molester.” That his sci-fi novel concerns a Donald Barr-like hero “forced” to have sex with minor girls for the purpose of sadism and procreation is as telling as it is creepy. How much, if any, sexual abuse Bill Barr was subjected to is impossible to know, of course. Barr did not even attend Dalton, but rather Horace Mann, a rigid all-boys prep school notorious for its own sexual abuse scandal. But whatever the younger Barr may have personally experienced, the abuse scandals were happening all around him. At home and at school, he was a product of that toxic culture, a culture that fostered…

Jeffrey Epstein

A 21-year-old college dropout with no relevant work experience, Epstein was hired by Donald Barr to teach mathematics at Dalton. Again, it may be purely a coincidence that this sex-trafficking, kompromat-gathering, arms-deal-money-laundering, Israeli intelligence procurer and con man was given his first important job by Bill Barr’s old man. But of all the headmasters in all the prep schools in all of New York City, Epstein was hired by Donald Barr.
