'The line being drawn here makes no sense. This is very concerning,' former federal prosecutor Mimi Rocah said.

In an opinion piece published in the Daily Beast Monday, Rocah wrote that Barr could run interference in the new Epstein case because he is the head of the whole Justice Department, including the Southern District of New York, which she said is playfully called the"Sovereign" district.

Rocah noted that Barr in his confirmation hearings said he might recuse himself from matters relating to Epstein because of the Kirkland & Ellis affiliation."Now would be a good time to know if Barr followed through on that," Rocah wrote. Trump added that Acosta has been"just an excellent secretary of labor" and that he will be looking"very closely" at Epstein's first case.

What is the argument for him to recuse?

It must be true, CNN helped with story.

.realDonaldTrump told him to 'unrecuse' himself.

He shouldn’t

Experts? Lmao

Maybe Barr used Epstein’s pimping service in the past.

Aah...BUT, 'legal experts' have full confidence in William Barr, as well.

'Legal Experts'? The same news source that thought Avenatti was a legal expert

According to other reports, he did recuse himself. Not sure what the truth is at this point!

Absolutely zero!

Legal experts = 2 left wing media analysts, what a fucking joke

What is the over/under on how fast Barr gets this Chester back on the street to re-offend?

why would he need to recuse himself?

I have zero confidence in James Comey's daughter being on the prosecuting team

Legal experts that sit back and eat popcorn 🍿
