Taking it to its logical conclusion, if bagging a high level criminal that can potentially name very high level names and shake the core of government and industry does not make the AG's radar such that he's not interested in keeping this criminal/witness alive, then, logically, he's either an incompetent ass, or complicit. Logically.
Barr has basically two major prisoners under his prevue. One, El Chapo, and the other epstein. He doesn't need to micro-manage every prison. He just needs to direct somebody to assign extra security to these two prisoners to keep them alive given their extremely useful value in collaring other criminals/cohorts.
The AG failed! He failed to secure the island evidence. He failed to keep his prisoner alive, and he failed to collar Maxell. He's a fat, failing failure. Or a dirty cop. Pick one. Probably too busy showing off his blowharding skill on a set of MacRea's.
Well, if you look at it THAT WAY. LOL
I am appalled that Barr let Epstein die under his watch. He was only in there 5 weeks.
