Hopefully Barr isn't wasting time going back over the Page FISA warrants yet again.
Of course, he will. This is the GOP strategy - undermine/second guess/impugn all the work that has been done to date. Investigate and reinvestigate. Benghazi...repeal the ACA/"we have a plan"....anything to distract.
Except he walked that comment back a few minutes later, saying he had no evidence, just wanted to explore the possibility. He gave Trump the soundbite Trump wanted. And proved he's a ****ty lawyer.
What's the difference between spying, surveillance and peeping? Semantics!
"A rose by any other name would smell as sweet." Shakespeare.
Well eventually Barr came around to "unauthorized surveillance", spying certainly has a different meaning in this context. He's not Donald Trump or Devin Nunes, he is the Attorney General and we hold him to higher standards.
There is a certain...irony, or perhaps an uncanny ability to twist logic into a pretzel on the part of the left.
1) A foreign operative offers the Trump campaign "dirt" on Clinton to use against her-the Trump campaign turns it down. They are labeled as "corrupt" or "colluding" in some way.
2) The Clinton campaign solicits and hires a foreign operative to provide dirt on the Trump campaign. That info is used by the Democratic administration to direct a variety of US intelligence services to spy on the Trump campaign. And that is not labeled as any kind of problem.
The hypocrisy is limitless.
Here's another one, just cuz:
1) Obama writes an executive order, telling his immigration officers to NOT enforce federal immigration laws, orders them to refuse to follow the law. Then writes DACA, another Executive order to go around congress to ignore and defy federal laws. That is not labeled as unlawful or in violation of the Constitution.
2) Trump signs an executive order which only seeks to aid in enforcing existing federal immigration laws. And this is called lawless, and violating the Constitution.
Except he walked that comment back a few minutes later, saying he had no evidence, just wanted to explore the possibility. He gave Trump the soundbite Trump wanted. And proved he's a ****ty lawyer.
That's the way it looked to me. Like he was taking direct orders from Trump and then realized he had stepped in it. Barr has put himself in an untenable situation. He can give Trump everything he wants and destroy his own reputation in the process or he can do his job in an impartial manner and receive the Jeff Sessions treatment--be humiliated and fired by Trump. Damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.
I wouldn't worry about Mr. Barr, he's 68, a multi-millionaire who could get a seven figure job the day he leaves as AG. He got a $10 M gift from Verizon when he left as their General Counsel.

It is clear most Americans don't care about character, integrity, sincerity, honesty, truth anymore at all.
