What skeleton? Barr apparently worked for a law firm that once represented Epstein prior to Barr working there. That's several degrees of separation, don't you think?

Barr's conflict of interest is with the perceived bias towards protecting of the reputation of the firm that was hired by Epstein, not due to any association with Epstein directly.

Atty Gen Barr recused himself from the Florida case for absolutely legitimate reasons based on a simple and routine conflict check.

People do realize how important it is for a lawyer to avoid conflicts of interest.

People also do not seem to realize that every one of Mueller’s team of lawyers was barred from accepting the job based on conflicts of interest- especially Mueller himself.

The jobs should never have been offered to them by Mueller and the individual lawyers were obligated to decline to accept the offer.

All should be disbarred for this misconduct

I think you must have misunderstood my comment. I understand that Barr has recused himself from the investigation into what went on in Florida with Epstein some years ago ( for legitimate reasons I might add), and that he has made it clear he’s NOT recusing himself from the new investigation being handled out of the Southern District of NY Federal Attorney’s Office.

Thank you for untangling this story of “recusal” by Barr.

Sometimes people don’t read the whole story and sometimes people want to...HAVE TO...see the negative side of issues.
