WASHINGTON, D.C.—After Attorney General Barr suggested that the FBI and other agencies spied on Donald Trump's 2016 campaign, former FBI director James Comey fired back.

"We did not spy," he told reporters as he stretched for his morning yoga class. "We just observed and reported secretly without the subject's knowledge or consent."
"See, I've never considered that spying," he added as he formed the "downward dog" pose. "That's just kind of secret watching. It's definitely not the same thing. When you spy, you watch someone without their knowledge. When you secret-watch, you just kind of secretly watch them."
"If we redefined spying to include all secret watching, we would have to include all the watching of American citizens on a daily basis as spying, and that probably wouldn't be good for our public image."
He then asked reporters if they would take a picture of him looking pensively up at the trees.

Comey: ‘We Did Not Spy-—We Just Observed And Reported Secretly Without The Subject’s Knowledge Or Consent’
so then.. you won’t mind if Trump does it to the next Dem candidate?
That is exactly the definition of spying.
:)
Who did he ‘secretly report’ to??? I think I have a pretty good idea..
I think someone left off the satire tag.
They weren’t spying—they were sneaking!
The Bee rocks!
If not spying than what is it, genius.
Spying (def.) - Conducting secretive observations of subjects and reporting said observations to authorities.
You want to try that again yoga boy?
LOL Remember to read the author.
That’s like OJ Simpson saying “I didn’t stab Nicole and Ron, I just made little cuts, not my fault they bled out”
Gotta love the Bee.
I was so distracted by the repelling notion of watching Comey do yoga that I didn’t even notice it was the Bee.
Moe: “Where’d you get all this stuff, steal it?”
Larry: “Hayyy, whaddya think I am, a crook? -I just TOOK it..”
That’s how so many people rationalize things these days.
It’s pretty hard to parody Comey. The things he actually says are as ridiculous as this. :)
Comey = SPJNK.
I know.
That’s what makes it so hard to tell reality from satire sometimes.
