31. Trump 1.0 AG Barr killed two birds with one stone
Sun Aug 3, 2025, 07:56 PM

Barr's dad seemed a likely candidate for blackmail by Epstein. Daddy Barr gave a plum teaching job to a decidedly unqualified Epstein. Wasn't that at an all-girl school?

Seems likely Barr, head of DOJ at the time of Epstein's murder, had a lot to gain for his family's name and Trump's ass by the timely death of the child trafficker who likely kept good record, and maybe a lot of videos of men with low morals but high positions.

Wolff was there at some of these meetings. Bannon and Epstein sort of bonded on both being on the outs with Trump and mutual belief trump was a dolt.

I still have the theory that Barr had Epstein arrested after all this time because he was talking to Wolff and others about Trump and they wanted to shut him up. Wolff says he has over 100 hours of recordings with his interviews with Epstein.

Epstein was arrested just months after Barr took over as AG / Trump's fixer. Bannon was/is connected so he knows a lot but has limited direct power. Barr had control over everything.

Barr had Michael Cohen's home release revoked and put back into solitary when he was writing his story. So Barr had no problem going after people spilling the beans on Trump.

Demand that the Epstein autopsy be released. There is no reason not to.

Not sure why everyone thinks that DJT is the only guy Epstein had kompromat on. DJT has never suffered a consequence, it's unlikely that he thought, at the time, THIS would be the thing that finally bit him.

it’s not just about the girls. it’s about murder.
whether he killed himself or not, almost everyone thinks he didnt. and nobody is certain.

are why cameras failed and guards fell asleep, and the missing 3 minutes of spliced tape, and the failure to release the autopsy report for someone on suicide watch.

prestigious prep school in NYC? Didn’t Barr’s father higher Epstein to teach math at that school? Didn’t Teacher Epstein like to “tutor” the prep school girls?

But it’s not out of realm of possibility that the guards allowed an unstable inmate to have at Epstein.

but maybe by someone else who was also in legal jeopardy. Or else by a fellow inmate (people in jail for rape and/or child molestation are so commonly attacked by other inmates or guards that they have to be kept in segregation), though given the particular circumstances that seems unlikely. It's also possible that he really did hang himself. But the fact that there are loose ends, like the guards who were asleep and didn't check on him and falsified records, the video with three minutes missing, fans the conspiracy theory flames. It's going to be one of those things like the Kennedy assassination; there will be doubt forever and the conspiracy will live on. The FBI/DoJ will never be able to make the questions go away, and the harder they try the worse it gets. So the issue now isn't so much whether Epstein killed himself, but why are there so many unanswered questions?

Ivana's "fall" and virginia's "suicide". It's in the spotlight right now so I think they're planning to pardon Ghislaine and send her on her way, at least for now. I certainly don't like her long-term chances.
