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.

They know it happened. Derision is one of the main Alinsky weapons. This tells me they know all about it and are afraid. Very afraid......................

I say use exactly the same approach as they did vs Trump... “If you’ve done nothing wrong, what have you to fear?”

I think those that participated are afraid, but the MSM? They fear nothing - lie openly - and switch narratives seamlessly.

They know no shame.

Certain members of the MSM are complicit in the scheme and may end up in prison.................

Thing is....all the mutts are howling

So what. Some of those mutts need to be put in a pen.

I want LESS TALK and MORE ACTION. The mutts don't just howl, the vermin don't just scatter. They get lawyers and they gin up their drones to stop anything from following through.

This waiting too long to act could cost President Trump big time. It's exactly what he promised wouldn't happen when he became President.
