Attorney General Bill Barr testified Wednesday that he believes "spying did occur" on the Trump campaign in 2016, as he vowed to review the conduct of the FBI's original Russia probe -- and the focus of a related internal review shifted to the role of a key FBI informant.

Horowitz, more broadly, is probing alleged wrongdoing related to the issuance of FISA warrants to surveil Page during the election. During a hearing on Capitol Hill on Tuesday, Attorney General Bill Barr testified that Horowitz’s investigation is expected to be complete by May or June.

Obama administration, the DNC, the HRC campaign, and several paid off news organizations all CONSPIRED to subvert our republic, deprive the rights of fellow citizens, and to falsely frame a duly elected president and people in his circle for treason, a crime punishable by death. The coup plotters now will learn the wrath of Trump.

Barr reminds me of those big boring fish that nonchalantly lay around at the bottom of the sea and just eat everything that comes anywhere near them.

He's (effortlessly) making his questioners look like absolute fools.

It will be ignored.

The main tool of fake news. Simply don’t report anything that hurts the Democrat Party.

What right does he have to grant immunity? In exchange for what? Would Bob Mueller risk being indicted for obstruction of justice for these stupid criminals? I think not.

What I don’t understand is why the FISA judge isn’t hopping mad because a false document was used to get a FISA warrant.

At least the headline didn’t use the word “Bombshell”.

Yeah, particularly since there is no such thing as a Democrat judge. ;^)

“We’ve all known for over two years that Clinton / Obama were spying on the Trump campaign. Glad to see the government is just starting to figure that out.:”

they were simply waiting for mueller to finish:

1. so no one could claim “obstruction”

2. so muller wouldn’t prolong the investigation indefinitely

To the extent any of the spying was electronic, the NSA will have picked it up. That’s what is so stupid about the FBI.

They don’t call the FBI ‘Famous But Incompetent’ for nothing.

The fact that Barr said he was “launching an investigation” should tell everyone that no investigation before was ever launched and that no one was looking at anything, except Horowitz.

But remember when Horowitz presented his report to Wray and Sessions and RR, they smiled and congratulated each other on what a great job the FBI was doing.

What’s the over/under on how many times Hannity will use the word “bombshell” on his show tonight?

You are right, of course. It’s just so damn frustrating because the standard Dem playbook is to run out the clock. At least we have almost two years of the (hopefully) first Trump administration to pursue this. Thank God the Dems weren’t able to run four full years off the clock.

The Dems all along, in desperation, thought they were throwing fatally wounding spears at Trump, but they were actually throwing boomerangs.
Now the big ones are on a return collision course with the corrupt players in the not so intelligent IC and Dem hierarchy.
Couldn’t happen to a more worthy group of underhanded, crooked, deceitful, Anti-Americans. May their names live long in infamy.

Question is, which one of the co-conspirators will receive the magical “get out of jail free” card?
