Anyone notice that when Barr was in his last apperarance before congress,

and he said,"I think there was spying", he seemed almost embarrassed to be saying it. He looked like wanted to just hide under the table. He knew what he was saying.

3. To be fair, he then essentially said there may have been reason to spy/investigate.

It is true that white wingers believe that there were unauthorized surveillance of trump’s campaign. I would like it investigated too, preferably by House because I believe it was authorized, and most certainly for cause.

9. "Spying" was not the best term, for sure. But you couldn't expect trump to

nominate someone bent on ruining trump. Someone like Barr was the best we were going get. With all the investigations supposedly going on, the truth will come out at some point.

5. What I can't figure out is that there is never a post on him being compromised

Sure he is a fucking asshole republican, a piece of shit as a human being.

But the obvious assumption is that there are pictures of his fat, naked ass, with stub dick, fucking an underaged boy or girl.

10. It's been reported before, this is a rehash

At least a year ago Chump was complaining about Obama spying on and wiretapping his campaign in 2016. The real story was that the FBI was monitoring the Russian operatives who rent or own space in Trump's building on 5th Avenue NYC. This surveillance has been going on for several years - with reason! The Russians agents were operating illegally and perhaps also spying on Chump.

In any case the feds were "tapping" their wires and they recorded conversations that the Russians had with Chump and with people working on his campaign. Well why were Chump employees talking to Russian operatives? Doesn't Chump realize that's the reason why his employees showed up in the FBI reports? Quite stupid and ill-advised, and certainly suspicious behavior for a political campaign to be in contact with Russian agents.

Back to Bill Barr, I'm sure he has reviewed the FBI reports and he knows he has to tread lightly. Otherwise he'll kick up a fresh interest in that suspicious behavior from 2016 and earlier.

11. Well he wasn't lying...there absolutely was spying...

That is part of the FBI conducting an investigation where multiple people were found guilty and have been sent to jail.

We need to not focus on his terminology and focus on that they were committing crimes, and the FBI was conducting an investigation.

He was clearly licking rumps ass and giving the fox fucks the backup for their talking points.
