Bill Barr’s Assessment Of Epstein’s Death Is ‘Transparently Absurd,’ Tucker Carlson Says
Daily Caller ^ | January 25, 2023 10:28 PM ET | HAROLD HUTCHISON REPORTER

Fox News host Tucker Carlson blasted former Attorney General William Barr Wednesday, claiming Barr’s assessment about the death of Jeffrey Epstein was “transparently absurd.”

“[Barr’s] first reaction, as he recounts in his memoir, was to worry that some people in America might not buy the idea that Jeffrey Epstein had killed himself,” Carlson said. “Quote, ‘No one’s gonna believe it was a suicide,’ Barr fretted to his chief of staff. ‘There will be conspiracy theories all over the place.’ Now, that’s a pretty odd response if you think about it.”

Epstein, a financier, reportedly committed suicide Aug. 9, 2019, while being held in jail awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. (RELATED: Report: Guards Had Not Checked Epstein For Hours Before They Found Him Dead, One Guard Was A Substitute)

A Rasmussen poll conducted in August 2019 found that 42% of respondents believed Epstein was murdered. Epstein’s lawyer described Epstein as being upbeat and optimistic in their last conversation.

Carlson noted that the FBI and Justice Department never issued a report on Epstein’s death, and that many of those involved in the investigation or who were at the Metropolitan Correctional Center at the time of the financier’s reported suicide did not comment when reached for comment, including Barr.

Barr released his memoirs, “One Damn Thing After Another,” in 2022.

Barr did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the DCNF.

Bill Barr’s father:

He was headmaster of the Dalton School from 1964 to 1974.[9] During his time as Dalton’s headmaster, Barr is alleged to have had a role in hiring future financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein as a math teacher despite the fact that Epstein (who graduated from high school at the age of 16 and secured a full scholarship to Cooper Union) had failed to complete his degree and was only 21 years old at the time.[10][11] 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 alleged accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.[12]

The former Attorney General has been pretty quiet lately. Biden and Pence had documents. But he only comments against Trump. Where are you, Bill Barr?

Weird. Barr was the head bro for the doj, responsible for all of the federal prisons and was never held responsible for epsteins death at the federal site. Nor was he concerned with the situation there. The biggest vip under his watch dies, and he's not concerned that other prisoners might die there.

Trump didn't even fire him for having Epstein die under his watch.

Bill Barr is yet another example of a deep stater in Trump’s administration. Trump had a penchant for nominating deep staters.

Well, Barr is as bent and crooked as an Attorney General can get, so no one should be surprised.

Only Deep State Club members can be confirmed in the Swamp.... and Trump had a wonderful way of exposing them for “We the People” to see for ourselves..

Honest question:.... Did you realize how Deep and Wide the swamp was BEFORE Trump?

I rest my case your Honor...../s
