Former Attorney General Bill Barr on Wednesday denounced former President Trump’s exhortation for Congress to kill the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) as “crazy and reckless” and warned there will be “blood on people’s hands” if the intelligence community’s surveillance authority expires and there’s a terrorist attack on the United States.
“I think it’s crazy and reckless to not move forward with FISA. It’s our principal tool protecting us from terrorist attacks. We’re living through a time where those threats have never been higher, so it’s blinding us, it’s blinding our allies,” Barr told The Hill in an interview.
“I think President Trump’s opposition seems to have stemmed from personal pique rather than any logic and reason. The provision that he objects to has nothing to do with the provision that’s on the floor,”

He's an asshole who's part of the so-called Deep State, so of course his junkie ass is going to come out as an advocate for FISA, regardless of whether or not one part or another was used to illegally spy on President Trump.
No, this BS needs to stop, and so does all of the terrorists being allowed into the country from our porous borders.
Oh no! A political candidate is giving the American public an actual choice in an upcoming election! How horrible! We can go with the corrupt status quo or try a new approach that doesn’t infringe on the God-given rights of citizens.
Let’s see what the people decide.
Bill, being fat, stupid and a backstabber, is no way to go through live.
No Suprise. The deep state always opposes any effort to reign in their abuses
One thing I LOVE about Trump, is that he forces important (and self-important) people to choose sides, line-up, and reveal themselves.
SO much of America today the total fake-ness DC uniparty people and propaganda pretending to be moral, decent and quietly working for the good of the country.
Fat rat bastard with a long history of screwing the American people.
NOW we hear from Bill Barr— now the potential for his hijinks in FISA manipulation may come out. Removing his protection by Chief Justice Roberts who runs, rather poorly, the so called FISA Courts. FReepers will recall the chief judge assigned to run FISA, when exposed for having accepted the FBI’s “case” agains Carter Page with zero intercepts or proofs-— well ms. Cornelia resigned in disgrace. This FISA is a kind of Star Chamber to be honest. And the panel members of the cult love having it.
Trump isn't wrong. Trump wants to kill this version of the bill. I don't believe he has ruled out major reforms.
FISA was abused. Even though the law had good intentions, letting it die is the only way to stop its abuse.
Your faith in the feral government is touching. They couldn't even restrain themselves with the incredibly weak guidelines are in place.
The government can never be trusted to police itself. Ever.
The Provision, Mr. Barr that Trump objects to— is STILL in the Legislation— you don’t get to gloss over that FACT, bozo. Derpies used Foreign Intel (5 eyes) agencies to spy on US citizens... the jumpover technique. Illegal as all hell.
💯 Very thoughtful response
Who keeps giving this RINO a-hole a microphone?
Sorry Billy, you used your toy to hurt others, so we’re going to have to take it away.
Yeah, how is he supposed to get the good on his enemies if he can’t spy on them.
Fat So Barr is a disgrace!
If you want to call Trump “crazy and reckless”, call him crazy and reckless for giving Barr another shot as AG. You’d have some credibility there.
Where as Barr when Hur’s report came out saying Biden stole Classfied docs? Where was he on the $30 Mil to the Biden family? Where was he when Biden called the Classfied docs his? Where was he when it came out that Biden’s Penn Center is being directly funded by China?
Speaker Johnson has totally flipped his position and he’s now being paid by the same people that control Lindsey Graham.
