Q: If the Democrats can spend two years chasing nothing, how can they deny that this investigation is warranted?
A: They cannot. At this point they have to justify the Mueller debacle, and must also bear scrutiny for why it ever began.
I can hear the Democrats screaming "Witch Hunt" already, and it sounds pretty sweet to me.
Barr testifies 'spying did occur' on Trump campaign
"I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was adequately predicated. … I think it’s my obligation. Congress is usually very concerned with intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies staying in their proper lane," he testified before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee, while noting that "spying on a political campaign is a big deal."
While vowing to release Special Counsel Robert Mueller's now-completed Russia report in a matter of days, Barr also announced Tuesday that he was reviewing the origins of the Russia investigation at the FBI and the Justice Department.
It's only his dopey opinion. He said he's seen no evidence of spying.
Barr: ‘I Think Spying Did Occur’ Against Trump Campaign
god damn you're not only terminally stupid, but a liar to boot.
Oh? And what did Barr bass that on?
I see that Faun, wants extraordinary evidence before considering it, but it has been suspected for over TWO years already:
Under oath he says the following in this selected excerpt, courtesy of
The Last Refuge:
"AG William Barr: Yeah, I, uh, as I said in my confirmation hearing, I am going to be reviewing both the genesis and the conduct of intelligence activities directed at the Trump campaign during 2016. And, uh, alot of this has already been investigated, and a substantial portion of this has been investigated, and is being investigated, by the office of the inspector general at the department. But one of the things I want to do is pull together all the information from the investigations that have gone on, including on the Hill and the department, and see if there are any remaining questions to be addressed.
Shaheen: Can you share with us why you feel the need to do that?
Barr: Well, for the same reason we are worried about foreign influence in elections we want to make sure that, uh, during an election, I think
spying on a political campaign is a big deal. It’s a big deal.
The generation I grew up in, which is the Vietnam war period, people were all concerned about spying on anti-war people and so forth by the government; and there were a lot of rules put in place to ensure there was an adequate basis for, before our law enforcement agencies get involved in political surveillance. I’m not suggesting that those rules were violated, but I think it’s important to look at that;
and I’m not just talking about the FBI necessarily, but the intelligence agencies more broadly.
Shaheen: So your not, your not suggesting though that spying occurred?
Barr: I don’t, well, I guess you could, I think there’s that spying did occur.
Yes, I think spying did occur.
LONG PAUSE OF SILENCE
Shaheen: Wow, let me, uh…
Barr: But the question is:
whether it was predicated.
Adequately predicated. And I’m not suggested that it wasn’t adequately predicated, but I need to explore that......"
Now you have the necessary context to what he stated under oath. He DOES believe there was spying going on.
==========================================
Then we have this to ponder over from someone who has the access to the intelligence, selected excerpts from
The Last Refuge:
"Finally…. F.i.n.a.l.l.y, Devin Nunes outlines the origin of the spying operation as it
began in 2015 and extended into 2016. During an interview to discuss his criminal referrals to Attorney General Barr [
see here] Devin Nunes outlines the big picture. "
and,
Nunes Referral Notification
He is expected to brief the Attorney General about 8 criminal referrals that will pertain to the spying and leaking in the early days.
Democrats are in a world of serious trouble......
