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.

CIA outsourced the spying to Five Eyes countries. So technically he is correct.You nailed it.
To: RummyChick
He famously said, “I believe there was spying.” Now he is retracting that?

Who said the CIA spied on the Trump campaign?
They were/are complicit in the scam though.
It sure is taking Durham a long time to investigate "a small group at the FBI".
All those frauds heaping praise on Barr, Durham and even John Roberts should rot in hell.

Every liberal will pretend to believe Bill Barr. It’s all part of the Soviet-style propaganda narrative.

Obama’s CIA director John Brennan, a fiercely loyal Obama appointee, talked up the Steele dossier to Democratic leaders, as well as the press, during the 2016 campaign and fed allegations about Trump-Russia contacts directly to the FBI, while pressuring the bureau to conduct an investigation of several Trump campaign figures.
Obama’s CIA Director, John Brennan, sucked up bigtime to get a job when (cough) “Hillary got elected”;
he worked tidbits from the phony ‘Pee Dossier’ into Obama’s Daily Intel Briefing (PDB).
Wadda ya know? Brennan and Hillary pegged Obama correctly......
<><> Obama was stupid enough to believe it...... and
<><> too stupid to understand he was reading falsified intel.
Is Devin Nunes still investigating Obama intel officials’ roles in promoting the salacious Steele dossier? He was said to be focusing on:
<><> Obama’s CIA Director John Brennan,
<><> Obama’s first CIA director, Leon Panetta,
<><> Obama’s intel czar, James Clapper,
<><> Obama’s NSA adviser, Susan Rice, and,
<><> Obama’s hand-picked UN Amb Samantha Power.

How would he know? If they claimed they didn’t, and he believed them, then he’s a gullible horse’s ass.

Just look what our President, who has done so much for the people of the United States of America, has had to put up with over these years. Afraid to put his trust in those who were to serve. We would never have known what was beneath the surface of our government in both parties had he not been Divinely elected. If you believe these are end times (we are on God’s time clock). . . .now is the time to witness to your family, friends and neighbors and even strangers. https://www.thereishopeinjesus.com/
