When then-candidate Trump spoke of emptying the swamp, we hadn’t yet caught on to his habit of projection. Heather Cox Richardson has a lovely summary of an exotic addition to the Trumpian Swamp:
It was [Attorney General William] Barr’s father, Donald Barr, the headmaster of the prestigious Dalton School in New York City, who launched Epstein, hiring the 20-year-old math whiz and college dropout Epstein to teach high school calculus and physics. It was a student’s father who gave him a start in the more lucrative profession of options trading.
She doesn’t give a source, though. But it sure seems to be a coterie of corruption in the White House these days, doesn’t it?
Later: And especially ironic, given Barr’s speech to a Notre Dame audience where he accuses militant secularists of destroying society.
