On Epstein case, Barr gives Democrats a new reason to get the willies
American Thinker, Jul 10, 2019, Monica Showalter

If there's any doubt about whether President Trump's Attorney General knows what he's doing, take a look at this one little modification to his declaration that he would recuse himself from the Jeffrey Epstein child-molesting case involving Democrats.

It's another reason for Democrats to get the willies.  Here's Conservative Treehouse:

Quote
It would appear Bill Barr is recused from aspects surrounding Epstein that connect to the earlier Florida prosecution; and prosecutorial position of the DOJ at the time-frame of the Florida plea agreement (via U.S. Attorney Alex Acosta); however, Bill Barr is not recused from the current SDNY prosecution in 2019 (via U.S. Attorney Geoffrey Berman).

For the Florida case Barr is recused. For the SDNY case, Barr is not recused.  So AG Barr will have oversight during the SDNY case against Jeffrey Epstein.

[...]

This resolves the missing puzzle pieces, as I noted in yesterday's pieces. Why would Barr give up oversight on as politicized a U.S. Attorney's office as the Southern District of New York. It's the one hyper-ambitious Obama loyalist Preet Brarara once led, the one that tried to torture Paul Manafort at Rikers Island, the one that has the tax fishing expeditions going on against the Trump Organization, and its prosecutor is the daughter of fired former FBI director James Comey? You know they're in need of some babysitting.

Barr's message to that crew was: Not so fast. He's still watching you.
