Top Democrats Up In Arms Over Barr’s ‘Spying’ Comment
TPM ^ | 4-10-2019 | Kate Riga

Posted on 04/10/2019 10:15:46 AM PDT by blam

Attorney General William Barr’s comment that he thinks “spying did occur” by intelligence agencies on the Trump campaign quickly reverberated outside the Senate committee hearing room, raising the hackles of top Democrats.

“The top law enforcement officer of the country should not casually suggest that those under his purview engaged in ‘spying’ on a political campaign,” House Intelligence Committee chairman Adam Schiff (D-CA) said in a statement. “This type of partisan talking point may please Donald Trump, who rails against a ‘deep state coup,’ but it also strikes another destructive blow to our democratic institutions.”

Schiff’s fellow chairman Jerry Nadler (D-CA), head of the House Judiciary Committee, also immediately expressed his displeasure.

Barr somewhat softened his comment later on in the hearing, reclassifying “spying” as “unauthorized surveillance” which would rule out the FISA warrant of former Trump campaign aide Carter Page.

Yes, the cockroaches are going to see the light of truth and hopefully a bunch of them will pay for their criminality.

Glad to see that Schiff acknowledged that it was a “deep state coup”.

Why, they scared that the TRUTH is finally coming out..what anyone with an IQ above 5 knew for YEARS, that Obama, knowing that Trump could very well become President, implemented all of this so in case Trump won, he could basically F over his Presidency and make it a living hell..yeah we already knew that..now Im gonna sit back and wait for JUSTICE to finally be done here, or will pigs fly first

Feeling more hopeful that the next 2 yrs of investigations will be about exposing and breaking up the deep state. Not holding my breath yet, just a bit more hopeful....

I want a video of all our elite domestic enemies mocking Trump for telling us they’d been spying on him.
