During Attorney General, William Barrs confirmation hearing, he was mostly peppered with questions about how he would handle the Mueller Report. Senator Ben Sasses (R-NE) questioning, however, diverged from the pack. Sasse asked Barr about the lenient sentence given out to billionaire pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein. The future Attorney General told Sasse that he would look into the matter.
In 1973, Barrs father Donald, the headmaster at Manhattans Dalton School, hired Epstein as a calculus and physics teacher.
Great twitter thread on this:

While hiring Epstein, a noted mathematics genius, was not strange on its face, the hire was unusual for a number of reasons. Epstein had not earned a college degree as he dropped out of New Yorks prestigious Cooper Union. The other odd circumstance was that the new teacher was only 20 years of age
Donald Barr resigned in 1974 after a fight with the board or Trustees.

(32,640 posts)One tweet posited that perhaps Donald Barr was a "fan" of teen girls, and Epstein knew this, and this possibly gave Epstein blackmail material to get hired without a college degree to teach at a high school - where he wouldn't be fired for doing the same.
