3. I'm certain Bill Barr knew all about Epstein.

His father hired the unqualified Epstein to teach at a posh prep school. That makes me wonder--did Epstein have something on Barr's father to give him the job? Did he prey on students at the school? How many connections did he start leveraging right there amongst the wealthy and well-connected?

Jeffrey Epstein's prep-school students remember their 'flamboyantly' dressed teacher

We do know that Epstein briefly taught at the Dalton School, a private co-educational school on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, in the early 1970s. Students in his classes at the time, who wished to remain anonymous, described Epstein to Yahoo Finance as a young man who “dressed flamboyantly,” with a “thick New York accent” who was “very high energy and dynamic.”

Donald Barr, Dalton’s headmaster and father of Attorney General Bill Barr, hired Epstein to teach math and science.

“What we’ve all been wondering,” one of Epstein’s former students said, “is how did this guy get his job in the first place, without a degree.”

Epstein was without a college degree when he was hired, but Barr, thought of as “no nonsense,” saw promise in the young man who was in his early 20s at the time. Dalton’s yearbooks from 1975 and 1976 show Epstein sporting a smile.
