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.

It’s in your face obvious that Trump was spied on before the 2016 election and after.


Certainly by the *FBI*.

He famously said, “I believe there was spying.” Now he is retracting that?


Most likely just being specific and having someone cherry pick responses and mis-associate them. The usual.

This type of "reporting" is, IMO ... just more of the continuing effort to kill the USA by clouding the thinking of good, but not so aware of the assault, Americans.

I'm not paranoid if they really are after me and maybe there is a commie behind every tree ..

The never ending cyber/psycho warfare they relentlessly pursue after President Trump should teach us something

Speaking of reporting, did anyone here see that Posobiec tweet, at least I think it was from him, saying he was hearing Trump had said he wanted to fire Gina H by next week, but that others, including WH attorneys, were trying to talk him out of it?

Can’t find it on his timeline this AM, so either I misremembered it as coming from him or he has deleted it.

remember Trump using the term covfefe?
I read he was referring to covert five eyes five eyes.

That was long time ago. He knows way more.
