The Patriot Act certainly should be a topic for debate by congress but we do live in a different time, we certainly have acts of terror.
Acts of terror have been occurring since man has walked the planet. In our current time, I rather like Barr's use of the term "predicate", which means basis or grounds, as in "The predicate for the investigation". What did I and millions of others do to give the "intelligence" community grounds to put me under surveillance? Or spy on me, if you prefer? What possible reason could I and others have possibly given them to place me under such a draconian system?
What would be the difference if he had said, “I am not saying improper SPYING occurred. I am saying I am concerned about it, and I am looking into it,”
What is an acronym for surveillance?
The language police, hate it when their own tactics are used against themselves....
Acronyms have been a mainstay for those willing to deceive, in lawyer talk..... Words and acronyms can raise or lower the hype.... They can create a crisis from a hangnail, or to cover up crime.

Its not Barr's job to 'think' some crime may have been committed. His job is to Represent the United States in legal matters. Not speculate on or try to hide crimes that may make his boss look bad.
It has become apparent Barr is another Trump 'yes man' and not a protector of the United States or its constitution.
Trump is trying to consolidate his power grab by crippling the judicial and legislative branches at every opportunity.
So you think Lynch or Holder were non-political? I mean, seriously?
The Democrats will try to twist the facts to suit themselves
