William Barr on Epstein: "I am recused from that matter. . . "

[pnwmom]

37. Here's something interesting. Barr says he needs to recuse

because of his previous work at Kirkland and Ellis.

Guess where Deputy AG Jeffrey Rosen also worked? Kirkland and Ellis.

I wonder if he'll also recuse . . . .

When U.S. Attorney General William Barr went through the confirmation hearing process back in January, Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Nebraska) asked Barr if he would commit to launching a “full and thorough investigation” into the way the Department of Justice handled the Jeffrey Epstein case, namely how Epstein’s law-breaking sweetheart deal came to be struck and kept under lock and key.

Barr offered an interesting response to the question: “Senator, I have to recuse myself from Kirkland & Ellis matters, I am told. And I think Kirkland & Ellis was maybe involved in that case, so I need to sort out exactly what my role can be. I will say that if I’m confirmed I’ll make sure your questions are answered on this case.”
