Barr Says Spying on 2016 Trump Campaign by Obama Administration Did Occur

Attorney General Barr on Mueller Report: "I am going to be reviewing both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign during 2016…I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal." pic.twitter.com/uz4tIqGIaa

“I think spying did occur,” Barr said to Democrat Senator Jeanne Shaheen. “But the question is whether it was adequately predicated and I am not suggesting that it wasn’t adequately predicated but I need to explore that. I think it’s my obligation… 

I am not suggesting those rules were violated, but I think it is important to look at that. And I am not talking about the FBI necessarily, but intelligence agencies more broadly. 

“I think spying on a political campaign is a big deal. It’s a big deal.” Barr added after Democrat hack Shaheen asked why he would be investigating the spying by Obama’s corrupt officials. 

“Congress is usually very concerned about intel agencies & law enforcement agencies staying in their proper lane. We have a lot of rules about that,” Barr said scolding Shaheen. Barr said there is a “basis” for his concern, but he did not elaborate.

From Ace of Spades:

A lot of people are going to be exposed on this issue -- and I just don't mean Clapper, Brennan, Comey, and McCabe. I mean the people posing as informed in the media and on twitter who have obviously never read any of documents or noticed that the FBI's shifting stories about when and why this probe supposedly started do not make sense. 

It won't just be an exposure of actual wrongdoing, though it will be that -- it will be an exposure of the media's laughable ignorance, laziness, and absolute refusal to do any kind of reading and thinking that takes longer than a Twitter #HotTake. 

A lot of NeverTrumpers will be exposed on this too. They're an ignorant, lazy, and yet perpetually smug lot. The Twitter Smart-Set is about to be depantsed as vacuous, lazy, twitter-addicted, micro-thinking dumb-bunny posers. 

Oh by the way: Have you noticed that after two years of hair-on-fire shrieking from the NeverTrumpers that the American people must know if their government can be trusted and so Mueller must be permitted to Finish His Job, some of them, like Jen Rubin, are now demanding that Barr be impeached rather than permit him to investigate how the Russia hoax was created? 

Boy, that whole Americans-have-a-right-to-know thing sure got turned around in a hurry, huh? 

Oh, and remember how it was dangerous and "corrosive of the pillars of American democracy" to accuse a law enforcement/intelligence official, like Barr, of having corrupt motives? 

You won't be shocked to hear that's now out the window too. Everyone's favorite "conservative" Jen Rubin is openly calling him "corrupted" by Trump.
