Barr is a one-man hit squad on the rule of law, an embarrassment to anyone who passed the bar exams and a danger to our republic the likes of which we have not seen in decades (if ever).

His sycophantic babbling and hideous answers to even basic questioning is more than enough to convince me he is a cover-up artist and a liar in addition to being a right wing hack.

I am pretty sure trump accused Obama of "spying" on him not long after he took office, and just like now, there was no proof of it, and trump and his cronies, never did find any proof.

I also think it is funny Barr is using the same "spying" wording, again. This is another example of trump going after his "enemies" using the DOJ to do his dirty work. A total waste of time and money, paid for by the taxpayers!

The FBI was doing its job. The President doesn’t get a first round pass.

Barr's comment set the table for Trump, who immediately accused the Obama administration of "treason" and of an "attempted coup". Those are crimes punishable by death that he is putting out there causally. Good for Nadler. Read Barr the riot act. He is as bad as Trump.
