re: #200 DangerMan

paraphrased from this AM’s electoral-vote.com

- everyone knows Barr has ultimate supervisory responsibility.
- like it or not, barr keeps stepping in shit and gets a lot of bad press
- trump hates to look bad
- barr might have to go. (long shot)
- Alex Acosta went pdq. (remember - that was so three weeks ago)

quoting EV:

A nice thought, but probably a longer shot than Acosta: the former Sec’y was directly involved in the (original) Epstein case: Barr is not only in a far more important position (Trump can always dredge up some union-busting hack for Labor*, Bill Barr is at Justice primarily to protect Donny’s orange ass from his criminality coming to light) - but has the shield of official “distance” from the Fail At The Jail to avoid any perceived responsibility. Unfortunately.

*assuming he even nominates anyone for SoL, and doesn’t just leave the Department headed by “Acting”, as typical
