His father was a born Jew who converted to Christianity. Barr's father was also dean of a prestigious prep school in NYC where most of the teachers had Masters' degrees from top universities, but he hired this math teacher who was allegedly a math genius but was a college dropout from a not-so-prestigious university. That was math teacher's first "real" job, and that teacher was Jeffrey Epstein. If we want to know who had probably the most urgent reason to have Epstein dead, it could be Barr, because there would be no way to help Trump "drain the swamp" with Epstein around. Barr is more or less a gray hat.
