Democrats push back on Barr's allegation of "spying"

Some Democrats criticized Barr's assertion that there was "spying" on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.

"Mr. Barr knows how counter-intel investigations work. He knows there was ample evidence of Russian attempts to infiltrate the Trump campaign and that the FBI took lawful action to stop it. Giving a wink and a nod to this long-debunked "spying" conspiracy theory is irresponsible," Senate Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Mark Warner wrote on Twitter.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said that Barr's words were motivated by political bias.

"This type of partisan talking point may please Donald Trump, who rails against a 'deep state coup,' but it also strikes another destructive blow to our democratic institutions," Schiff said in a statement. The Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have called on Schiff to resign, considering him too partisan to lead the committee.

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler again called for the release of the full report by Mueller.

"These comments directly contradict what DOJ previously told us. I've asked DOJ to brief us immediately. In the meantime, the AG still owes us the full Mueller report," Nadler wrote on Twitter.

I have a feeling Schiff and Warner might have some exposure here.

Um.. no.

Mueller just finished giving a report saying their wasn't.

And ALL the attempts were actually FBI or CIA agents. And all attempts were turned down.

Ahhhhhh one the two carpetbagging Senators from Virginia chimes in and proves once again, that he is part of the problem and not part of the solution. I guess a few years maybe a decade or so ago I mistook Mark Warner to be somewhat intelligent person but he has yet again proven himself to be a party lemming and continues to disappoint.

Apparently whatever Mueller DID find had gone on was so inescapably damming he decided to close-up shop and skedaddle.

If Warner's words hold an ounce of truth, then surely he would acknowledge that, in America, such "lawful action" would have included informing the Candidate whose "campaign" was being targeted! Anything else would, itself, have been either cowardly or complicit in the purported crime.

It’s nice how the Democrats state the conclusion that ‘everyone knows’ before the hearing is over.

That’s so helpful.

Yeah.. WORKING FOR RUSSIA. There's long been talk Obama had been co-opted by Russia and is a Russian agent. And Brennan, Comey, and the lot of them.

Russia has ALL the contents of Hillary's private server.. Imagine the BLACKMAIL MATERIAL Putin has on Obama, Hillary, Comey, Lynch, etc.. Perhaps Putin had ALL of them on a puppet string, holding them hostage to a treasure trove of blackmail material. Remember Obama whispering to Medvedev on the open mic? Hint, hint..

And what about that Dossier? Who is responsible for the contents of that Dossier? RUSSIAN INTELLIGENCE!

And WHO personally intervened to allow Natalia Veselnitskaya into the country for the Deep State attempted entrapment of Don Jr.? Obama did! Obama allowed her into the country! WHY?

MUELLER NEVER INTERVIEWED Natalia Veselnitskaya! BIG RED FLAG.. HUGE CLUE.

DO THE MATH.
