Media unload on Barr over spying: 'Trump's toady,' 'prejudices the conversation
Washington Examiner ^ | 04-10-19 | Zachary Halaschak

Attorney General William Barr's bombshell statement before Congress that there was "spying" on the 2016 Trump campaign triggered a ferocious media reaction. “I am going to be reviewing both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign during 2016. I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” Barr said during a hearing of the Senate Appropriations Committee on Wednesday. That statement set off a media frenzy. Tim O'Brien of Bloomberg compared Barr to Roy Cohn, the notorious chief counsel of Sen. Joseph McCarthy's hearings into suspected communists in the 1950s and later Donald Trump's personal lawyer. Cohn was "a ruthless and sleazy attack dog who taught Trump how to weaponize the legal system," and Barr was "trying" to be like him, O'Brien said.

All those Obama “toadies” were just fine, though. Glad they have left and are leaving.

The MSM has never covered the false FISA warrant, etc. It is almost as if it has never happened. But it did happen. And if there is no justice, this political misbehavior will become the norm.

Anytime a prosecutor opens an investigation they have to have a crime they are investigating. Otherwise it’s a fishing expedition or witch-hunt. Which is how the left likes to run things. They don’t understand the rule of law.

“Attorney General William Barr’s bombshell statement before Congress that there was “spying” on the 2016 Trump campaign triggered a ferocious media reaction.”

The way to deal with the fake “ferocious media reaction” is to remind the media that they will face summary execution for their treason.

Some were. And they should get starring roles as the prosecutions proceed.

Well, the presstitutes certainly know all about toadying after eight years of slavish work on behalf of Obama and their continuing efforts on behalf of the DNC. How naïve would a person have to be to take anything the propagandists say seriously at this point? They’ve thrown away even their last shred of respectability and professionalism.
