Intelligence professionals warned Friday that President Donald Trump’s decision to give his loyal attorney general carte blanche to disclose still-secret material from the Russia investigation will let William Barr cherry-pick intelligence to paint a misleading picture about what started the probe.
The president claims his campaign was spied upon, though Trump administration officials have said they have no specific evidence that anything illegal was done when the campaign came under FBI surveillance that was approved by a court.
On Thursday, Trump gave Barr full authority to publicly disclose information about the origins of the investigation the president has repeatedly dismissed as a “hoax.”

They are freakin out !
No slant in this story. ;)

“Critics worry AG will reveal Russia probe info to help Trump.”
If it is the truth, what’s the problem?
I don’t understand why they are complaining, they will have the same right to defend themselves that everyone else have,and when they do, they should be charged with Obstruction Of Justice also..
What kind on serious mental disease does one have to have to qualify to write for the Ass ociated Press...
The truth shall set you free.
It’s laughable the arrogance of liberal politicians that think they can actually argue with the truth. MAGA!! Donald Trump is the best thing that has happened to our Constitution and this country since Ronald Reagan!
I posted before I scrolled down to see your’s.
It is looking increasingly likely that they were already spying on Trump - the FISA warrant was just designed to cover it up.
Read the Conservative Treehouse piece linked here - it is plausible and very frightening if true.... will make your blood boil and you have to wonder just how deep these abuses went.

Just saw Deb.
No matter how hard they try, they all look alike.
It’s uncanny.
TOUGH SHIT - FULL DISCLOSURE IS ALL I HEAR FROM THE RAT BASTARD DEMOCRATS!
They are squealing like the stuck pigs they soon will be!
There be a prison in their future!
Gawd! They’re all like rats scurrying around and panicking in an inescapable maze.
So fun to watch them drown in the mess that they created for themselves.
