“Wanna bet via some obscure procedure, Barr is still on the Payroll.”
The obscure procedure might be the SES.

Caveat emptor, these are blog claims, but it is an interesting rabbit hole.

Remember Stephan Halper?
US Spy in Britain. They caught him with Drugs at the airport and in a Prostitution sting.
He got paid big bucks under the Black Budget, and supposedly to write some Policy papers.
He offered money to Papadopolous, set him up with an attractive female spy working for Halper. And Halper boarded a plane and came to DC and tried his best to get hired by the Trump administration as a plant. He wasn’t hired.
You see the pattern of compromising someone, getting statements from their Prostitutes and Madam, and then they work decades for agencies.
Sessions, Graham, maybe Pence.
They are paid in Cash.
