LOVE AG BARR!
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.

Lots of people committing crimes for Barack and Hillary. Will they go to jail for Hillary and O?
This makes “WATER GATE” look like a sandbox dispute.
Trump didn’t move to his resort in NJ for no reason right after he was inaugurated. There has to be evidence from this sweep at that time.
Would someone in the Press, please ask former President Odungo if he think’s it is appropriate for a sitting President to use the nation’s Intel Agencies to “gather intel” on their political opposition in an upcoming campaign?
I think it’s time to start getting people on record.
“will the republicans grow a spine and insist that action be taken against the conspirators including those at the very top.”
I want to see which rat gets the get out of jail free card.
The problem with broadcasting his intentions is that in the DOJ, FBI, and maybe even the CIA there will be a lot of overtime logged wherein anyone who had even a small whiff of the attempted coup is frantically sanitizing their electronic devices and their hard-copy files. In a few says the name Comey will not be found anywhere.
I'd say look for a reduced sentence, not quite the "get out of jail free" card. But you're right. It'll be there, and the flood of new information we will ultimately see will help show us who took advantage of the deal.
OTOH, I'd probably take a stiff sentence, then prefer to be let out after 6 months, not to draw too much attention from Hillary.
Awww, did they get their witto feewins hurt?
If we do it to the Russians, it’s called SPYING. If the Russians do it to us, it’s called SPYING. Neither is technically legal in either country.
If the FBI does it to a presidential candidate and his campaign without legitimate legal authority to do so, it’s called SPYING you dumb shits!
Hey Adam, what’s the big deal? Barr did not connect the name of a political party to the term, “spying.”
“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.”
News flash, sports fans: Use of an illegitimate warrant, i.e., a warrant obtained by misrepresenting facts in the affidavit, is NOT authorized surveillance and can only be called SPYING. But nice try...
Now they’re objecting to the characterization of what was done and not to the fact that it was done in the first place.
Schitt and Fat Ba@st@rd heavily soiled their Maxi Depends today!!
In the case of F@t B@st@rd, he probably wears custom-made size XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXL Depends. When he Schitts them, it requires a large crane and at least six haz mat workers wearing gas masks to clean up the mess.
Just WOW!
A shot across the bow
d’Rats are cornered in their lab
cages, frantically seeking an escape.
Snickers, Aplenty and not a candy in sight.
Time for Cracker Jacks.
Those that protest too much have a prison sentence stake in the works of it all. Betcha.
Rush played the soundbite on his show today--hilarious. Barr was obviously poking fun at the idiot who asked this idiotic "question."
Trump tweeted that Obama was tapping his phones in October before the election [this was at a time the Dems say* they thought Hillary would win the general but Trump might get the popular vote and refuse to concede.]
*take with grain of salt...I think they new very we she was going to lose the general but wanted to leverage the popular
OCTOBER 2016 EARLY : (HILLARY/VINCE FOSTER FBI FILES DISAPPEAR FROM THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES) Friendly reminder that those files treating the role of Hillary in the last days of VINCE FOSTER mysteriously disappeared from The National Archive just 3 weeks ago: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3753013/Missing-FBI-files-linking-Hillary-Clinton-suicide-White-House-counsel-Vince-Foster-vanished-National-Archives.html
Appears to be similar to pre-coronation purchase of millions of dollars of fireworks for a Manhattan display after Hillary’s win.

OCTOBER 5, 2016 : (VP DEBATE : PENCE COMMENTS ON PUTIN, RUSSIA) Mike Pence on Putin and Russia:
(from the VP debate on Oct 5, 2016)
“When Donald Trump and I observe that, as I’ve said, in Syria, in Iran, in Ukraine, that the small and bullying leader of Russia has been stronger on the world stage than this administration, that’s stating painful facts. That’s not an endorsement of Vladimir Putin — that’s an indictment of the weak and feckless leadership of Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama.”
****
PENCE: The United States of America needs to begin to exercise strong leadership to protect the vulnerable citizens and over 100,000 children in Aleppo. Hillary Clinton’s top priority when she became secretary of state was the Russian reset, the Russians reset. After the Russian reset, the Russians invaded Ukraine and took over Crimea.
And the small and bullying leader of Russia is now dictating terms to the United States to the point where all the United States of America — the greatest nation on Earth — just withdraws from talks about a cease-fire while Vladimir Putin puts a missile defense system in Syria while he marshals the forces and begins — look, we have got to begin to lean into this with strong, broad-shouldered American leadership.

“In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government,” he wrote. “The public has a right to know this information. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public. There is no danger to American interests from releasing it. And yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information.” (Excerpt) Read more at spectator.org ...-— Dirty Harry Reid’s Role in Obamagate

BTTT!
Okay so how's "unauthorized surveillance?" That was hilarious.
I think Barr might be an unwitting comic genius... I don't know how he keeps a straight face. I haven't seen such a natural dry wit since Bob Newhart.
Just wait till Hitler hears of this.
