President Trump on Monday said it was time to “investigate the investigators,” doubling down on Attorney General Bill Barr’s summary of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s findings in the Russia investigation.
“Mueller, and the A.G. based on Mueller findings (and great intelligence), have already ruled No Collusion, No Obstruction. These were crimes committed by Crooked Hillary, the DNC, Dirty Cops and others! INVESTIGATE THE INVESTIGATORS!” Trump tweeted early Monday.
The president’s tweet comes following a week of mounting scrutiny on the attorney general for his testimony that “spying did occur” on the Trump campaign during the 2016 presidential election.
Democrats blasted Barr, and accused him of “peddling conspiracy theories.”
But despite the backlash from Democrats over his use of the term, Barr's testimony appeared to refer to intelligence collection that already has been widely reported and confirmed.
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) warrants against former Trump campaign aide Carter Page are currently the subject of a Justice Department inspector general investigation looking at potential misconduct in the issuance of those warrants. That review also reportedly is scrutinizing the role of an FBI informant who had contacts with Trump advisers in the early stages of the Russia investigation.
A person familiar with Barr’s thinking denied that the attorney general was trying to fuel conspiracy theories or play to the conservative base.
“When he used the word spying, he means intelligence collection,” the source told Fox News last week, also noting Barr’s history as a CIA analyst in the 1970s. “He wasn’t using it in the pejorative sense, he was using it in the classic sense.”

Yes, and it is well beyond time to investigate the crimes of the Clinton cabal.
I agree with MY PRESIDENT, time to investigate the treasonous bastards ... I’ve got the rope.
He fights back.
HOORAY President Donald J. Trump.
“Who will protect us from our protectors?” - Detroit talk radio Mark (RIP) Scott.
Exactly right.
There is no evidence of any wrongdoing.
It was just a malicious witch hunt by the Dems.
I love that Mardi Gras (?) tribute!
Wish I could get a small action figure like that.
The way the Italians portrayed the president truly captured his essence as a leader.
What a contrast to Bush, who let the Rats walk all over him over the ridiculous Plame and U.S. Attorneys nonsense.
I love Trump .. but I’m getting damned tired of hearing this. Either do it or shut up!
It’s time to prosecute not investigate. Any investigation should just be to confirm what we already know and get paper work in order, no more than two weeks tops. Then it’s time to start arresting people, starting with hillary. Of course her arrest should come at two in the morning with 100 federal agents equiped with machine guns and armored vehicles.
What a contrast to Bush, who let the Rats walk all over him over the ridiculous Plame and U.S. Attorneys nonsense.
*******
But...but...but, he was a “Compassionate Conservative!”
So, Fox News is buying the BS that there is some doubt about collusion despite no indictments and Barr emphatically saying the Mueller Report clears Trump?
They can’t investigate the investigators without potentially exposing the entire criminal enterprise known as the Kenyanesian Usurpation.
Except for President Trump, nobody in the District of Corruption wants that.
No reason to confuse tweeting with fighting.
Bush was a Democrat in an R jersey.
He is still working on getting the Democrats a permanent majority with amnesty for illegal aliens.
Yes, well beyond. As in years.
And lots of baby wipes
I agree. It’s time.
Trump can’t just snap his fingers and make it happen. It must be done properly and that’s what’s happening.
Trump hasn’t taken 24/7 abuse and worked his heart out for America to let this go away. He’s going to go about it in the right way.
