https://www.cnn.com/2019/04/10/politics/barr-doj-investiation-fbi-russia/index.html Washington (CNN) Attorney General William Barr suggested to lawmakers Wednesday that Donald Trump's presidential campaign was spied on, saying he will be looking into the "genesis" of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation that began in 2016 of potential ties between the campaign and the Russian government. "I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal," Barr said, echoing some of the more inflammatory claims lobbed by the President for months, but declining to elaborate on his concerns. "I think spying did occur." He did not provide evidence for his claims. Congressional Democrats fumed Wednesday over Barr's statements, accusing the attorney general of mischaracterizing the FBI's counterintelligence investigation in an effort to please Trump. "These comments directly contradict what DOJ previously told us," tweeted House Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler, who authorized the subpoena for the Mueller report. "I've asked DOJ to brief us immediately." Yet, according to a source familiar with his thinking, when Barr spoke of "spying" on the Trump campaign, he meant it in the "classic sense" of intelligence collection. He doesn't view the term as "pejorative," the source said.
I didn't even know there could be an Attorney General who was a bigger piece of shit than Jeff Sessions, but here we are.
Please Bar, come to the House and testify under oath that this happened.
He did because he said this at a congressional hearing on the DOJ budget
I guess I should read more carefully, I thought this was something he just said in passing. What an idiot
I was wrong he was testifiing two days in a row, one day in the House about budget and the next day in the Senate also about the budget
The problem is that the Senate's not gonna call him on it, but the House will. He can say damn near anything he pleases in the Senate.
He can perjure in the House as well because Pelosi would never use the Sergeant at Arms to arrest him for contempt of Congress, the one federal crime the President cannot pardon.
This is like when Trump said Obama wiretapped his house, just speaking out of their asses with no proof and they get away with it because their stupid as fuck fans eat it up at face value.
If I remember correctly, he helped Reagan and H. W. Bush get away with Iran-Contra.
Yes, he was an accessory after the fact to the first US president to commit treason in office, and now is an accessory to the second president to commit treason in office.
