Attorney General William P. Barr said on Monday during a trip to South Carolina that he had RECUSED himself from the EPSTEIN case because Barr’s former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis, had represented Mr. Epstein.

I guess this reason sounds better than "my Dad was the headmaster for Dalton and hired Epstein in the 1970s as a math and physics teacher even though he had no teaching credentials and no college degree."
Ok. Bubble just burst. Barr not recusing from SDNY Epstein case but the investigation into Acosta for Epstein deal.

Barr & his damn word games are what make we non-attorneys distrustful of all attorneys. And we need to believe in them more now than ever.

Hey @thehill, Judge Sullivan is NOT an Obama appointee. He was originally nominated to the bench by Reagan and appointed to his current post by Clinton.

Do your JOB and get the facts, @mchalfant16!

Nope. Nope. Nope. Not correct ⬇️. Stop trying to create more "hay" for Trump's base to snarl on. Judge Sullivan is NOT an Obama appointee.
What happened to fact checking, @thehill?

Jan 2018: "The US ambassador to Russia, Jon Huntsman, will take part in an Epiphany ceremony over the weekend near Moscow, embassy spokeswoman Maria Olson said."

Is this part of the job description of a US ambassador to Russia?

"I want to feel close to Russians" is an odd way to phrase things - especially when you are a devout Mormon who takes baptism pretty darn seriously.
Unrelated Question: Why is our current US Ambassador to Russia in Epstein's little black address book?

Related Question: Why is no one reporting this?

"Despite being confined to the embassy, Assange met w/Russians & world-class hackers at critical moments...He acquired new computing & network hardware to facilitate data transfers weeks before WikiLeaks received hacked materials from Russian operatives."

cnn.com/2019/07/15/pol…
"Assange issued a special list of people who were able to enter the embassy w/out showing ID or being searched by security. He was granted the power to delete names from visitor logs. To avoid surveillance cameras, Assange occasionally met guests inside the women's bathroom."
"Throughout Assange's stay at the embassy, Ecuador employed three security companies to conduct constant surveillance. Assange installed his own recording devices and used noise machines to stymie the snooping."

William Barr’s father Donald, headmaster of the exclusive Dalton School in NYC in the late 60s/early 70s, hired two-time college dropout Jeffrey Epstein to teach high school math to teenage boys and girls.
One of his students was the son of “Ace” Greenberg, the head of Bear Stearns. Ace hired Epstein to work at the investment bank. Ace was also Donald Trump’s banker.
Epstein rocketed to partner, but soon after left Bear in a cloud of scandal. He set up his own shop in and became a billionaire, though it remains a mystery who his clients were other than Leslie Wexner, the billionaire founder of The Limited stores.

Attorney General William P. Barr Delivers Remarks at the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund Candlelight Vigil justice.gov/opa/speech/att…
It’s an honor for me to join with you here today — survivors and members of the law enforcement family. Thank you, former Attorney General Ashcroft, for that kind introduction and for your decades of work on behalf of police officers across this nation.
I feel a special bond with the Law Enforcement Officers Memorial. Twenty-eight years ago when I served as the 77th Attorney General of the United States I stood with President George H.W. Bush when we broke ground for the Memorial.

Thread regarding the .@Newsweek article about Barr's Alfa Bank ties.

the clean-up man is compromised. He declared that he was paid between $5000-$15000 from the Vector Group. VG president, Howard Lorber, was the man who brought .@POTUS to Moscow in the 90s for the "Tower".

1/6
His former law firm, Kirkland & Ellis LLP, where he earned more than a million dollars representing the Russian Alfa Bank, is also home to Brian Benczkowski, another Trump pick for the DOJ's criminal vision.

2/6
(Fun Cronyism Fact: Brett Kavanaugh, the corrupt Supreme Court judge whose numerous sexual assault allegations and gambling debts were ignored by the @GOP in their judiciary takeover, was actually a partner at Kirkland & Ellis LLP as well.)

2b/6
