I read elsewhere (the Hill maybe) his Dad also hired Epstein at one point and that was also part of his decision. Yes, Barr SR hired Epstein to teach at the Dalton School in NYC. He had no teaching certificate... Lots of young teens though!

trump...
“I have been very critical about the way the U.K. and Prime Minister Theresa May handled Brexit. What a mess she and her representatives have created. I told her how it should be done, but she decided to go another way. I do not know the Ambassador, but he is not liked or well....”
“thought of within the U.S. We will no longer deal with him. The good news for the wonderful United Kingdom is that they will soon have a new Prime Minister. While I thoroughly enjoyed the magnificent State Visit last month, it was the Queen who I was most impressed with!”
So he told the Prime Minister how he thinks Brexit should have been done. Unbelievable especially since I’m pretty sure he doesn’t understand much about Brexit if anything at all.

OLD news! Although he was president by then!
China approves Donald Trump-branded spas, escort services, hotels and massage parlours without US Congress permission Preliminary approval has been granted for 38 trademarks which raises further questions about conflicts of interest Rachael Revesz New York @rachaelrevesz
Wednesday 8 March 2017 17:56 Chinese authorities have granted preliminary approval for dozens of Trump-branded businesses, expanding his commercial empire and raising further conflicts of interest, say lawyers. The 38 trademarks include new hotels, spas, escort and concierge services, massage parlors, personal security services and insurance, according to public documents. The President’s lawyers applied for the trademarks in April last year, at the same time the then Presidential candidate Trump was accusing China of "ripping off" the US and deliberately manipulating its currency to its own advantage. **
Remember the woman for China that was as Mar-A-Lago.......... Selling tickets for meet trump functions......... Former owner of the spa where Kraft go busted?!?!

Welcome to NJ dt! A New Jersey artist has carved her newest message for the president in a soybean field near Trump National Golf Course in Bedminster. The artist, who goes by Suki, said it took her about two and a half days to construct the 25 by 15 foot “Listen to the Kids” message, which she said she hoped would spread awareness about global warming. The privately-owned soybean field was the perfect location for this message, Suki said, because it is in the pathway of where President Donald Trump’s helicopter has to fly over to get to the golf course. Trump spends many summer weekends at the New Jersey course. ** www.nj.com/somerset/2019/07/artist-carves-another-huge-message-in-field-near-trumps-nj-golf-course.html

”How exactly is #DonaldTrump making “our rivers, our water - everything better” when he rolled back water protections and sold out to the highest bidder?? 🤣”
trump must believe his supporters must be awfully stupid if he thinks he can con them in believing he is for the environment.

Barr is NOT recusing!! But Barr will remain recused from any Justice Department review of its decision in 2008 to let Epstein avoid prosecution on federal sex-trafficking offenses. Federal prosecutors in Florida at the time reached a plea deal with Epstein that allowed him to plead guilty to two state charges of soliciting a prostitute and avoid a long prison sentence.

President Trump on Tuesday defended Labor Secretary Alexander Acosta, who is facing calls to resign over his role in a non-prosecution agreement with billionaire financier Jeffrey Epstein in a sex-crimes case. Trump told reporters at the White House that Acosta has been a “very good” Labor secretary and said he probably wished he handled the Epstein case differently. The president also sought to distance himself from Epstein, with whom he used to socialize with in Palm Beach, Fla., saying they had a falling out and had not spoken in years. Acosta earlier Tuesday defended the non-prosecution agreement that he helped broker while serving as a U.S. attorney in Florida, as top Democrats call for the Trump Cabinet member to resign from his post. Acosta acknowledged new sex-crimes charges against Epstein could “more fully bring him to justice.” ** thehill.com/homenews/administration/452202-trump-defends-acosta-amid-epstein-scrutinySure Barr will tell him all!!

Poor baby........ Trump Baby Balloon is truly fitting! Trump peeved at Fox News for airing 'F--- Trump' chant: report By Zack Budryk - 07/09/19 12:22 PM EDT President Trump's criticism of Fox News in a series of tweets this weekend was reportedly spurred by footage aired on the network of bar patrons in France chanting obscenities aimed at him, according to the Associated Press. Following the U.S. women's national soccer team's World Cup win, Fox correspondent Greg Palkot aired a live report showing patrons chanting "F--- Trump" in a bar. Shortly after the segment aired, the president took to Twitter to voice his displeasure with the network, which he usually praises for its positive coverage of his administration. Trump's Sunday evening tweets took aim at the network in general, claiming that it is "changing fast" and forgetting "the people who got them there." But according to the AP, Trump was specifically peeved by Palkot's report. The outlet cited two Trump advisers who were not authorized to speak publicly. Trump also blasted the network for using the New York Times as a source, possibly referencing two Sunday segments following up on Times stories about conditions at a child detention center in Texas. ** thehill.com/homenews/media/452132-trump-annoyed-at-fox-for-airing-f-trump-chant-report

Greg Sargent in the Washington Post...
”Trump’s base is not enough, and his own advisers know it”
“It will not surprise you to learn that President Trump just gave a speech that was full of distortions, this time about his record on the environment and climate change.
But it might surprise you to learn why Trump gave this speech: in part because his advisers are trying to mitigate the damage he’s sustained among millennial and suburban female voters.
This would seem to undercut Trump’s public bravado about his reelection chances. Trump recently mused in an interview that his base is “phenomenal,” and, when asked whether he needed to expand his appeal beyond it, said: “I think my base is so strong, I’m not sure that I have to do that.”
Apparently Trump’s own advisers disagree. And the remedies they’re seeking for the problem they’ve identified tell us something interesting about the reelection challenges Trump faces.
The New York Times reports that internal polling for Trump’s campaign revealed that his environmental record is a key obstacle to winning millennials and suburban women. Those demographics, of course, helped drive the Democratic takeover of the House in 2018 amid a sizable national popular vote win.
According to a senior administration official who reviewed the polling, Trump might not win voters who feel strongly about climate change, but it showed that a certain type of moderate who likes the economy might feel okay about Trump if she is persuaded he’s being “responsible” on environmental issues.
Hence Trump’s latest speech, in which he claimed that he has made it a “top priority” to preserve “the very cleanest air and cleanest water on the planet.” Trump actually mouthed the words that we have a “profound obligation to protect America’s extraordinary blessings for the next generation and many generations, frankly, to come.”
But as New York Times fact checker Linda Qiu documents, the speech was full of distortions. Trump absurdly took credit for environmental improvements secured under his predecessors. He also misleadingly claimed the United States is leading other countries in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, when in fact our reduction as a percentage of overall emissions — a much more meaningful metric — trails many others.
In reality, Trump has sought to dismantle multiple efforts to combat global warming. His Environmental Protection Agency is finalizing a new rule to replace former president Barack Obama’s effort to curb emissions from coal plants, which will undermine progress, as well as another one rolling back tailpipe emissions standards. Trump is pulling out of the Paris climate deal.
Trump is doing all this, even though a comprehensive assessment by over a dozen federal agencies — within his own administration — concluded that global warming poses a dire future threat to U.S. interests. Trump dismissed this finding by saying: “I don’t believe it.”
What’s interesting here is the apparent need to obscure all of this, and to reposition Trump (try not to burst out laughing here) as mindful of the obligation to preserve our natural inheritance for future generations.
Trump’s reelection challenges
The brute demographic facts of the matter are as follows. Trump won in 2016 despite losing the national popular vote by nearly 3 million, by scraping out the barest of wins in industrial Midwestern states with disproportionately large populations of blue-collar white voters. Trump’s victory also relied on a falloff in turnout among younger and non-white voters, relative to 2012, and a somewhat larger margin among college-educated whites than expected.
But in 2018, these things reversed. Turnout among minorities, young voters and college-educated whites expanded by greater percentages, relative to the previous midterm elections, than it did among non-college-educated whites, and they broke toward Democrats. In 2020, those trends are expected to continue.
This does not solve the problem for Democrats. Supercharged turnout among blue-collar whites could help deliver Trump a second term, thanks to his advantage in the electoral college, which rests on the fact that the Midwestern “blue wall” states Trump cracked are not diversifying as quickly. This has led Democrats to strategize over how to win back those non-college-educated white voters, as they should.
But as Ron Brownstein has reported, Democrats can also win back those states in part by driving up turnout and vote share among young, non-white and suburban, socially liberal whites, particularly women. Yes, those voters do exist in those states.
Trumpism is driving people away
Trump’s climate and environmental agenda showcases some of Trumpism’s worst qualities: the anti-regulatory, science-denying GOP orthodoxy; the lies about bringing coal roaring back; the “America First” disdain for international engagement to solve global problems. Indeed, as Jedediah Purdy has noted, it also denotes an amoral “politics of grabbing what you can,” a central tenet of Trumpism.
Republicans sometimes say Trump might turn things around among college-educated and suburban whites by toning down the craziness and racism, so they vote for him based on the economy. But it’s evident that the policy side of Trumpism, not merely his personal qualities, are also alienating them.
Indeed, it’s no accident that Trump has been falsely claiming that migrant detention was worse under Obama and that Obama was responsible for starting family separations. Large majorities now favor allowing Central American refugees to apply for asylum and legalizing undocumented immigrants. Trump’s cruelties are driving majorities toward a more pro-immigrant position — and away from Trumpist nationalism — and the percentages of young voters, women and college-educated whites who hold those positions are overwhelming.
Trump certainly could win reelection. He retains the advantages of incumbency and a good economy. But Trump’s base is not enough, and his own advisers know it.

Barr will not recuse himself from the most recent Epstein case. I'd love to have faith that Epstein will get what's coming to him but I don't. Look, they're not even trying to be slick about these things at this point, the GOP and Trump's administration are not going to be beholden to anyone but themselves. They're going to get their's and make sure their friends get theirs for as long as possible. These people do not represent anyone outside those that can do for them.

Epstein got a job he was unqualified for from Barr's father. Why would Barr's father do that? What did he get out of it? I don't trust any of them.

CNN just reported that a search of Epstein's mansion yielded a safe with photos of nude underage girls, sex toys, a massage table, a blow up sex doll hanging from the chandelier, a prison portrait of himself.
Weird shit.
He deserves death. There is no curing pedophilia. He serves no purpose on this earth.

By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times - Monday, July 8, 2019 DEVELOPING: Attorney General William P. Barr told reporters Monday he recused himself from the case involving Jeffrey Epstein, according to CNN.
Mr. Barr said he is recused because he once worked for one of the law firms that represented Epstein “long ago,” the report said. He did not name the law firm.
The attorney general’s comments came after a visit to a South Carolina correctional facility to tout criminal justice reform legislation signed into law last year by President Trump.

And no one brings up the fact that Barr's father, Donald Barr, was the one to hire the non-college-degree Epstein to work as a 'teacher' at a private school in NYC (Dalton) in the mid 1970's? Sounds like a HUGE conflict to me!!!!!! Agreed!
