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

Posted on 04/10/2019 4:34:26 PM PDT by Steve1999

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.

The media and the Democrats in Congress were shocked today. The Attorney spoke about facts. These morons have been believing the narrative of the criminal conspiracy, while most of figured out over two years ago that this was all BS. I’m sure that they were shocked to hear that nonsense that has been reported by MSNBC and CNN is not true. It’s not going to go well for them over the next few months. The voters will figure it out soon.

Rats & proggies always project. Accuse others of their own schemes and dirty tricks. They lie. Consistently and constantly. And a great many now see through it.

They just can’t seem to handle the truth. What a sad, sick joke the news media has become. And they don’t even know it.

What, no calls for congressional resolutions protecting Barr’s potential investigations? Don’t tell there’s a double standard on investigations too.

what would you expect from the colluders.

no-one tried harder than the FakeNewsMSM to stop Donald Trump becoming president, and then to overthrow him once he did.

they all need to be held to account.

(sigh) I guess it is not “seriousness of the charges’” turn any longer. Now, I guess we are back to “nature of the evidence”.

So how many of our supposedly wonderful allies, like Britain and its colonial 3 step daughters, were up to their belly buttons spying on candidate Trump, President Elect Trump and even President Trump?

Under Obama, Brennan and Clapper, Foreign intervention/interference was rampant in our 2016 national election by our so called former allies.

Was anybody monitoring Mexico, and its 24/7 involvement to prevent Trump from being our President?

For decades, Mexico has been meddling in our elections from our main streets across America, to county seats and state capitols.

Last, but not least how many Congressits have gotten paid by Mexico for many years?

Paid to open our borders to Mexico's poor to come to America for money, food, education, housing, medical care, and ??????????!

DC and Mexico have been $crewing the poor American citizens for decades.

“Not even the slightest amount of curiosity about the coup.”

They’re certainly curious. 100% curious about how to stop the truth coming out.

The Demonrats and their toadies are dancing and writhing like roaches on a hot griddle at the prospect of an actual investigation of their hideous crimes.

media and Dems. did Brennan suggest the narrative for when the tables turned?

29 Mar: Washington Examiner: John Brennan huddled with Democrats after Mueller investigation ended
by Daniel Chaitin
The meeting also came one day after Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., tweeted that a “high-level source” told him that Brennan, while serving as CIA director under former President Barack Obama, “insisted that the unverified and fake Steele dossier be included in the Intelligence Report” and called for Brennan to be called to testify before Congress “ASAP.”...
