Attorney General William Barrs 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.
Schiffs 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.

Top Democrats Up In Arms...........how can they be ‘up in arms’ without any?...................
There is no "Crossfire Hurricane" citizen. There never was. Just like "The People's Cube" is a non-person in Wikipedia.

Has obama denied he spied on Trump?
I believe someone said Crossfire Hurricane came from the Rolling Stones song.
It did. But the more interesting aspect is the attempt by Wikileaks to remove any reference to the FBI operation of against Trump that had the same code name. Wikileaks whines about being censored in foreign countries, but the MF's who run it doe their own censoring of info they don't like. F' them.
I like Barrs momentary smirk as he drinks his water
lol, they got russia backing them up
Drama queens are always in panic mode and waving their arms.
The “s” in FISA is for SURVEILLANCE !!!
Methinks they doth protest too much...............
Only one thing which could bring more enjoyment:
Knowing AG Barr is getting as much satisfaction out of this that WTP are experiencing. An event never before seen, and this generation holds front row tickets.
Barr really didn’t “soften” the spying word. He just did a quick search of the Thesaurus in his head and said the same thing using different words. He was jerking the chain of the Congress Critter.
agree, looks like we might see justice
If there were nothing to the comment, they would just ignore it or laugh it off................
Deflection. Old tactic.
How the hell do they assume it rules ANYTHING out?
Barr said he was going to investigate.
Nothing is ruled out, Fake News!
Tough...all you DemoRats are scum....everyone of you.
