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...
If he said he should recuse himself then he should.
Quote: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?
Exactly what everyone else thinks, that this case will enmesh some very high up people in this country, possibly a former POTUS. As for the "concern" Of course I'd be concerned about this case, I was simply responding to the direct instance of the word's use.

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.
Because it's almost assuredly not just Bill that's going to get kneecapped here. Plus, these people are all enmeshed at those high levels of power.
Quote: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.
As I said above, given this new information (new to me anyways) I would agree that Barr needs to recuse himself.
