He subsequently worked for / with the firm that defended Epstein.  Certainly seems like a financial link to that firm alone would be cause for concern to the AG's objectiveness.  He even said so himself in his confirmation hearing, claiming he would need to recuse himself from this specific case.  But, whatever.  Just words.  Its whats in his heart that counts or something.

Now, were learning that billy 'redactasaurus' barr's father once hired epstein to teach at a HIGH SCHOOL he ran... 

Quote:Concerned?  I pointed out it could not have just been Acosta, that's not concern, that's a statement of fact.

Ok.  Chalk that one up to misinterpretation on my part.  Sincerest apologies.  In the absence of concern then, what is your stance on 'higher forces' (the AG as I believe you're stating) directing acosta towards a wrist slap instead of full justice?

Quote:If you had read my responses you would have.  I flat out stated it likely went all the way to the AG at the time.

Maybe thats the problem.  I'm just not reading.  This must be one of those 'put a million monkeys in front of typewriters and they'll eventually write shakespeare' situations.

So, to be clear then, you are saying that gonzalez played a role in shaping this plea deal.  I just fail to see what gonzo's motivations were regarding clinton and why acosta would have presented his baboon ass rather than pursuing justice was his directive by the american people.  Your honest opinion here may clear this up for me.  Its really all conjecture b/c we don't know, but im completely failing to see the link.

Quote:Absolutely.  Given the heightened level of interest I don't think that's very likely, if possible at all.  In any event, it is also demonstrable fact that Barr wasn't the AG at that time nor was he working in the DOJ.  Still, I'll wait for more information as to why Barr should recuse himself before forming an opinion.

Looks like this just comes down to you not thinking a direct link between multiple parties is sufficient rationale for recusal.  I believe it is.  

Add to that the tarnished perception of barr in the american public and we have a nice broth for stewed mistrust.
