31. Trump 1.0 AG Barr killed two birds with one stone

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.

Epstein squealing would have ended the Bannon fascist plot to begin with. Initech Jul 27 #3

According to Michael Wolff, Bannon and Epstein actually met many times after Bannon was out of the WH. mackdaddy Jul 27 #7

If Bannon didn't kill Epstein, he knows the people responsible. Initech Jul 27 #8

Bannon was mostly out at the time, but Bill Barr was AG and in control of the entire DOJ including prisons. mackdaddy Jul 27 #11
