The Obama administration went to court to defend the spy programs.

That is not who Candidate Obama said he was going to be.

How does one side expect the other to hold their candidate accountable when the other side would not either?

Is this story true? I have no idea. Is it believable based upon what we know? Yes.

I already mentioned Papa, Manafort and Cohen. Flynn will NEVER see an orange jumpsuit, and I would imagine charges will be dropped. The delay is a tell.

So WHO else? I asked you WHO I'm missing other than the above? Vox says six people. I count three. WHO am I missing.

The bottom line is we can't control our government. We vote but it's of little consequence.
Yes, and I think maybe all this noise is just so much denial of the true state of affairs.

I see people desperately rooting for this side or that side, hoping for an outcome that will vindicate their choices, their "team", so to speak. Bottom line, there will be no satisfaction for any of the citizens who have chosen their "team". The best we can do is spit at each other, and we're certainly doing that, while our pockets are picked and our communities laid waste.

TPTB dictate the games, mainly through the media, and we are expected to align. No one wins.

If what Barr said is true do you think it was the Obama administration? And if it was do think those responsible should be investigated by the DOJ and if proven true do you think they should be prosecuted?

Waiting for the left and their surrogates in the MSM to down play or spin this allegation.
Man oh man, you guys fell for a con again.

Of course Trump was being watched. Trump, family and staff all in contact with known Russian operatives.

Trump will be the first POTUS to be taken down by the Patriot Act.

The Same Patriot act pushed by the GOP after 9/11 and signed into law by GWB.


The GOP had the opportunity to change it. Guess what, they did not.

Default A.G. Barr will investigate how the "Russian Collusion" investigation got started, for what "crimes", by whom etc.

Interesting.

Robert Mueller was appointed to investigate Russian collusion, according to some sources. But he was never given any specific crime to investigate, in violation of the Independent Counsel law.

Now Attorney General Barr will investigate what, exactly, happened when Mueller was appointed, what the nature of the "evidence" was, how various court procedures were initiated etc.

Sounds like when Donald Trump was elected, a can of worms was opened that Democrats didn't want normal Americans to see.

Barr forms 'team' to investigate the FBI's Russia investigators; Sanders to release tax records

Developing now, Wednesday, April 10, 2019

BARR INVESTIGATING THE INVESTIGATORS: Attorney General William Barr has assembled a "team" to investigate the origins of the FBI's counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign, Fox News has learned.

Republicans repeatedly have called for a thorough investigation of the FBI's intelligence practices and the basis of the since-discredited Russian collusion narrative following the conclusion of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe.

More details and video here: https://www.realclearpolitics.com/vi...stigation.html

ATTORNEY GENERAL BILL BARR: 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 a lot of this has already been investigated, and a substantial portion of it has been investigated and is being investigated by the office of the Inspector General.

But one of the things I want to do is pull everything together from the various investigations that have gone on, including on the Hill and in the [Justice] Department, and see if there are any remaining questions to be addressed.

Aren't you a little old for these wet dreams?

Tap. Tap. Tap.

This is a distinction that you might not be able to grasp, but "spying on the Trump campaign" and doing something about Russian election interference are completely unrelated things.
