Democrats push back on Barr's allegation of "spying"
Some Democrats criticized Barr's assertion that there was "spying" on the Trump campaign during the 2016 election.
"Mr. Barr knows how counter-intel investigations work. He knows there was ample evidence of Russian attempts to infiltrate the Trump campaign and that the FBI took lawful action to stop it. Giving a wink and a nod to this long-debunked "spying" conspiracy theory is irresponsible," Senate Intelligence Committee Ranking Member Mark Warner wrote on Twitter.
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said that Barr's words were motivated by political bias.
"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 said in a statement. The Republican members of the House Intelligence Committee have called on Schiff to resign, considering him too partisan to lead the committee.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler again called for the release of the full report by Mueller.
"These comments directly contradict what DOJ previously told us. I've asked DOJ to brief us immediately. In the meantime, the AG still owes us the full Mueller report," Nadler wrote on Twitter.

Sessions-—what a complete doof! Deep State plant!!
Wow—there he is, the smartest man that ever lived!!! sarc
This is the !BOMB SHELL! that got no Bomb shell headline.
So says D-CBS
I have a feeling Schiff and Warner might have some exposure here.
Yes. If I were one of their staffers, Id be making sure my passport was up to date and figuring out some way to move my assets to Cabo Verde or maybe even Cuba.
Now why would they expect that result from Mueller? Because the CIA, the FBI, Hillary and Obama "created" the Trump scenarios.
Feels the same as election night.....except the Dems are walking on Broken Glass...from that ceiling ya know.
To me the biggest secret and one that I really hope comes out is how the UK conspired with Obama and the intelligence agencies. The Brit's really didn't like Trump saying that Brexit was a good thing. They wanted revenge. The whole Roger Steel former MI-6 agent and the Australian who said that the drunken Trump aid knew of the dirty Hillary emails was all planned by the UK intelligence agencies working with our Obama weaponized intelligence agencies. I would further bet that Hillary agents in the State Department did a lot to convince the Brits to play ball.
I think that the UK intelligence agencies should be exposed. I really don't care if it means loosing their cooperation, as they can never ever again be trusted.
Clean house at the intelligence agencies in the US, and clean house at the State Department and send a message to all other governments who consider themselves allies, that messing with our elections will put you on the “outs.”
Release the FISA and special counsel those who just special counseled the President.
Admiral Rogers.
Thank you I stand corrected. Admiral Rogers is a hero.
Dems: “Well, everyone knows Trump works for Putin, so of course our good FBI spied on him”
Going back to Clinton’s “meaning of ‘is’”..as a ply to change the meme...one guy “gave Barr a chance to restate it the way he really wanted to say it w/o the word “spying’ in it” and Barr thought for a second and said, “OK - unauthorized surveillance...does that make you feel better?”
