What did the announcement say?
Barr’s father hired Epstein for his first job back in 73. Teaching math at a private Manhattan high school called Dalton.

JUST IN: Attorney General William Barr will not recuse himself from Epstein case in SDNY, after consulting with career ethics officials. But he remains recused from the review of the previous Epstein case in Florida “due to his prior association with Kirkland Ellis.” @CBSNews

“The official added, however, that Barr has been and will remain recused from overseeing the department’s review into how federal prosecutors in Florida, including now-Labor Secretary Alex Acosta, previously reached a plea deal with Epstein that has since come under scrutiny as being too lenient.”
Again, Trump has “hired someone” who has skeletons in his closet. I just wonder who vets these people? Trump’s appointees have been, in the main, a passel of $hit, e.g. Sessions, Tillerson, McMaster, Rancid Penis, Tom Price, Chris Wray, the A$$hole who is now running the FED, the list is pretty much endless! I’m even worried about Gorsuch, he’s beginning to look like another Roberts!
Has no one posted here that Ross Perot died ?
Whaling?
Aye, he be Moby Dick and a great white whale he be!!!!
“”” His recusal in that review stems from Barr’s prior work with the law firm Kirkland & Ellis. Acosta also previously worked at the firm. “””
A very loose connection to Acosta but that’s called CYA. The good news, I hope, is that he’ll be able to oversee the sex trafficking and possibly child rape investigation.
May justice prevail.
Barr's smart enough to know what's going down and why...
Remember the big FBI sting on the massage parlor run out of a small strip mall? That was to 'get Trump'. There were bigger fish to fry within miles of the place - what the FBI was after (choosing a place close to where Trump lived) was people who might know Trump and be squeezed.
The coup didn't work - this is phase two. (Notice how they will NOT go after Bill Clinton who rode on the Lolita Express WITH YOUNG UNDERAGED GIRLS ON BOARD OVER TWENTY TIMES.
Thank God for Barr...
Being a Presidential candidate provides one cover to scream political persecution when indicted on sex abuse charges.
Epstein hired a slew, a contingent of attorneys - GOP and Dem -- precisely because he knew it would force recusals no matter who became President (which is how much foresight this Epstein psycopath had, to hire people who told him to bring in a GOP white-shoe firm like Kirkland Ellis on the chance Obama OR Hillary loses down the road - wow).
Recusals are often believed (but no proof) to take the pressure off the Defendant because the dude who recused now doesn't 'need the win' to maintain public face.
But the deputy mandarin who inherits the recusal still does 'need the win', in my opinion, particularly if it's an up-and-comer. Which will make it interesting to see who at DOJ gets the Florida case.
Now for the FReepers getting wound about the Florida case -- man, that one is an amorphous thing that's going to be very hard to prove, unless someone who was judicial or prosecutorial comes right out and says, "oh Epstein had the goods on me so he walked". Not happening.
No that case is strictly about the MSM using OPR to ruin the people who worked on it -- nothing more, nothing less. Might cost Acosta his job, but if it does, it better cost Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr his job too.
Barr had best kick Comey’s daughter off the prosecution team.
“Let the liberal whaling begin...”
I don’t think they would know which end of the harpoon to use.
Looks like we are headed ‘nuclear war’ and M.A.D - mutually assured destruction - with this Epstein affair.
Let the chips fall where they may.
And neither will Comeystain’s daughter
They’re scared sh!tless of Barr. He’ll take down names, and go after them, though the heavens tremble.
Great news!!!!!!
WEIRD TIMES I TEL YA !!!!!
the leftists own us
between: MSM "news"
the GOOGLE "ministry of truth"
and Socialist Media "shadowbanning"
CIA/FBI/Federal Reserve "Deepstate"
the toilet pretty much only swirls left
Trump spygate pretty much swept under the rug completely and the ghouls hillary and obama are free to roam the planet as the heroic agents of fundamental change that google will make them
But wait our trolls whined and cried that he was recusing himself and all was lost for the 10,000 th time.
Are they confused or are we~?
