Which statement. Both are true.
First, read the history of Barr re OSS and CIA. Also include his time on the faculty at Columbia where his son Bill graduated. Immediately after graduation Bill joined the CIA. They even paid for his law school at Georgetown.
Donald Barr
Donald Barr was an American educator, writer, and Office of Strategic Services officer. He was an administrator at Columbia University before serving as headmaster at the Dalton School in New York City and the Hackley School in Tarrytown, New York. He also wrote two science fiction novels. His sons are former United States Attorney General William Barr and physicist Stephen Barr.

Barr served in the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II. Following the conflict, he returned to Columbia, where he earned an M.A. in English in 1950 and completed course requirements for a Ph.D. in the discipline while also teaching in the English department.
Keep in mind that Dwight Eisenhower was President of Columbia University and also head of NATO in the early 1950’s. William “Wild Bill” Donovan (also a graduate of Columbia Law School) was the head of the Office of Strategic Services (OSS) during World War II, which is considered the predecessor to the CIA. He is often referred to as the founding father of American intelligence for his significant role in establishing the country’s first national intelligence agency. (FDR picked him as they both attended Columbia Law School together.)
He was headmaster of the Dalton School from 1964 to 1974. For a brief time, at the end of his tenure as headmaster, disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was employed as a math teacher. It is unclear whether Barr hired Epstein. In 1973, Barr published Space Relations, a science fiction novel about a planet ruled by oligarchs who engage in child sex slavery. It has been noted that the plot of the novel anticipates the crimes of Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell.
Sometime in February 1974, former U.S. intelligence agent Donald Barr — father of William Barr — announces that he is leaving his position as headmaster at Dalton at the end of the school year. Later, date unknown, he hires Jeffrey Epstein to begin work the following September, teaching math.
Thank you for your detailed reply. I know about Donovan but had forgotten about Bill Barr’s father in the mix.
Today I played devil’s advocate just to clear my head and was unable to find a way to excuse Bondi, Patel or Bongino. The harder I tried to let anyone in this mess off the hook, the worse I found it to be. And then I watched Trump go after the reporter during the Cabinet meeting. Something was really off. Bondi was off, Trump was off. We’re in alternate realities.
So many good things happening and this colossal lie makes all the good seem insignificant.
