Wait! Is he trying to say Barr strangled him two weeks ago? Can this get any more bizarre?

How did you deduce that? C’mon........

Kasman said he heard US Attorney General William Barr personally made a hush-hush trip to the MCC two weeks ago, about the time Epstein was found in his cell with bruises around his neck. “When does that happen?” he asked. “The attorney general never visits jails. Something’s not right there.”

I don't read it as an allegation that Barr tried to kill Epstein (lol). I think he is trying to say that Barr visited Epstein to discuss his case.

But whether this story is true or not - Barr should have recused himself from the case, since he worked for Kirkland & Ellis, the law firm that represented Epstein during his trial in Florida, where he got the lenient plea deal.

It at also totally sucks that the federal prosecutors refused to agree to reopen the case in Florida (shortly before Barr recused himself from the Florida case, cough cough), although the plea deal was ruled to have been illegal by a judge.

But after his Dirty Harry remarks nothing really surprises me anymore.

He was AG under Bush, that is all we need to know. That he was Mueller's opponent in the 'Russian collusion' story doesn't mean he isn't fishy. He's on my shitlist.

You have sources for those aligations? Didn't hear about dirty Harry remarks.
