AG Bill Barr says CIA did NOT 'spy' on Donald Trump's campaign, slapping down president's claims - and says John Durham's probe is focusing on a 'small group' at the FBI

attorney general Barr is reflecting on the calls he made that benefitted President Trump and a few that didn't in his final days in office – as he said the CIA didn't stray beyond its international spy brief in 2016.

Barr told the Wall Street Journal he was suspicious that CIA agents – who are barred from spying on Americans – had spied on President Trump's campaign. The president repeatedly alleged publicly he was spied on.

But according to Barr, it didn't happen. 'The CIA stayed in its lane,' he told the Wall Street Journal in an interview.

Nooooo, they GOT our FVEYs pals to do it in the US with the hop and skip surveillance unmasking. Really, Barr just give it up— we are smarter than you. They used our “allies” like in Australia to do this work for us. Must not have read the volumes of evidence how they did it.

Stop this shite, Barr, and go back to the Ukraine.

What you say sounds good. But the plain unvarnished truth of the matter is that the Democrat Party members will not let him do that. They will persecute and prosecute him and his family on every charge they can manufacture. They will also go after every trump supporter. Every Trump voter. White people in general. Both ANTIFA and BLM will be allowed free rein to roam and commit mayhem among trump supporters and Whites to their heart's content. The Police will assist them and protect them while they are doing that.

As far as elections being held in 2022 and 2024 go, forget it. Should the Democrats permit elections to be held, they will so rigged so that only Democrats will be allowed to run fir office and only Democrats will be allowed to vote. Besides, common sense tells anyone with three brain cells that if the Democrats can get away with stealing the 2020 election, they can get away with stealing the 2022 and 2924 elections much easier.

Brennan put one of his own people INTO the FBI— Barr- did you not “get” that. He put him in there to do a job INSIDE THE US. Double frocking is what it is called.

they did not “stay in their lane. Don’t peddle that dog crap.

The probe has a narrow focus on 'the conduct of Crossfire Hurricane, the small group at the FBI that was most involved in that,'

At whose behest? And who was managing them? Very hard to believe that some small group went rogue with an attempt to spy on and then take down a President.

The swamp is deep, we'll never know what happened but please continue to pay your taxes and vote.

give thanks FR covered the Il Foglio piece (51 comments):

18 Apr 2019: Freerepublic: Missing Mifsud was hidden in Rome
Il Foglio
One of the key turning points in the investigation happened in Italy. It is no coincidence that US Senator Lindsay Graham, one of Trump’s closest allies and one of the leading critics of Mueller’s investigation, has been visiting Rome over the last few days.

There are many unanswered questions, one of the most important being: where is Joseph Mifsud? Il Foglio does not know, but it can reveal where he hid for seven months after disappearing: in Rome, in a rented flat paid by Link Campus University. Mifsud taught there, and Il Foglio understands that he owns 35 per cent of Link International, which Link Campus owns 55 per cent of (the remaining 10 per cent is owned by Roberto Lippi, domiciled in Bogotà, Colombia)...

COMMENT #1: Interesting article from an Italian newspaper. Good background on Mifsud and Link University. What is particularly noteworthy is that it appears Lindsey Graham was in Rome during the same time as the date of the article, ostensibly to discuss Libya. He was accompanied by Senators John Barrasso, Chris Coons, Ben Sasse and Congressman Michael McCaul. I wonder if Mifsud came up in his discussions with the Italians.

COMMENT #2: Graham was NOT a critic of Mueller’s investigation. He even promoted legislation to make sure he couldn’t be fired except for cause. ETC ETC

I can think of no better end to Barr’s tenure, than him playing a bagpipe solo to accompany “Fool in the Rain”, or maybe “Thick as a Brick”

Yes, the meeting at Mena,AR airport with Bill Clinton (who was governor, and snorting pounds of the cocaine the operation was bringing in, as well as banking the cash satchels with Stephens Bank (drop box)— the one’s that were dropped on Webb Hubbell’s dad’s farm.

Barr was Asst AG under GHW Bush— the Contra op continuing into Bush’s one term— and Bill ‘snort’ Clinton coming up— financed by all this dope. So that far back, Barr worked with and for the Bushes, who also continued to benefit from the “Enterprise” and who made sure Barry Seal was murdered, and don’t forget getting Manuel Noriega— the two apparent “siphoners” of cash from the operation. Instead of it being Billy boy and his murderous wife and thugs.

If they appoint a special prosecutor Barr will have to answer some questions.

Yeah? You think so? Maybe a sternly worded letter? Maybe even some harsh questions from Trey Gowdy? Ooohhh, that’ll show him!

(Yeah, I know, Gowdy’s not in Congress any more - saves us all having to waste time watching him ask a lot of questions as he does nothing whatsoever).

Barr isn’t going to be answering to anyone about anything, any more than any of the rest of the swamp vermin ever have or ever will.

Deepstate Barr had one job. String conservatives along until the election. Tease them with a few encouraging sound bites along the way. But above all, protect the deepstate. Mission accomplished.

Yet another epic failure of a choice. We called it at the time.

There’s spying and then there is SPYING.

“Spy” spy, like “rape” rape.

Plausible deniability. “We take a look at everyone who comes through here, it’s just the way we work.”

No. Brennan got the FBI do to the spying using special authorization letters (the FBI using Brennan’s hoax claims of Russian connections with Trump, and thus “foreign influence) instead of warrants (initially, before any FISA warrants.

I don’t recall President ever accusing the CIA of spying.


Yeah, that was my thought too. At least directly without stretching to include Halper and Misfud.
