For over 2 years democrats pushed a BS narrative that Donald Trump colluded with the Russians to influence the 2016 election. Special counsel Robert Mueller investigated this garbage and determined that there was no evidence of collusion, which is a already an embarrassment for the dems, but there’s a bonus unintended consequence. There is apparently sufficient evidence that the Obama administration illegally spied on the Trump campaign and Attorney General William Barr has announced he’s investigating.
Here’s what the other shoe dropping looks like, as reported by Fox News:
Attorney General Bill Barr testified Wednesday that he believes “spying did occur” on the Trump campaign in 2016, as he vowed to review the conduct of the FBI’s original Russia probe — and the focus of a related internal review shifted to the role of a key FBI informant.
“I think spying did occur. The question is whether it was adequately predicated. … I think it’s my obligation. Congress is usually very concerned with intelligence agencies and law enforcement agencies staying in their proper lane,” testified Barr.
And he added this, which should put the fear of God in Obama’s DoJ and FBI deep state stooges:
“Spying on a political campaign is a big deal,” stated Barr.
What does all of this mean? Well, basically all of the illegal shit Obama’s people did to influence the 2016 election will finally get investigated objectively.
…Barr also announced Tuesday that he was reviewing the origins of the Russia investigation at the FBI and the Justice Department, amid mounting calls for scrutiny of the probe’s beginnings from Trump and prominent congressional Republicans.
Also on Tuesday, Fox News reported that a source said Barr had assembled a “team” to investigate the origins of the bureau’s counterintelligence investigation into the Trump campaign.
“More generally, I am reviewing the conduct of the investigation and trying to get my arms around all of the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted in the summer of 2016,” Barr said.
Barr’s team will also review the FISA warrants issued against Carter Page. The issuance of the FISA warrants relied, in part, on the unverified anti-Trump dossier authored by ex-British Intelligence Agent Christopher Steele, who worked on behalf of Fusion GPS—a firm paid by the Hillary Clinton campaign and the Democratic National Committee through law firm Perkins Coie to do opposition research against the Trump campaign. In the dossier, Steele accused Page of conspiring with Russians. Page was not charged with any wrongdoing in either the FBI’s Russia probe or Mueller’s.
The Obama administration tried to set Trump up and undo the will of the American people but instead this plot has boomeranged on them and they are now facing serious trouble. The question is, will they be able to tie Obama to this illegal activity? There’s no way in hell he didn’t know what was going on, but chances are he was smart enough to put some distance between him and the dirty work.
This is already really f*cking funny, but it gets even more hilarious because the Senate hearing kind of mirrors the Obama administration’s failed attempt to get Trump. House democrats called AG Barr into testify because they were going to tear him a new asshole over his summary of the Mueller report. Instead, he flipped the script and put democrats on notice.
Everything is summed up hysterically with this exchange between Barr and Hawaii Senator Brian Schatz:
Barr says he believes Trump’s 2016 campaign was spied on. @brianschatz: “Do you wanna rephrase … I think the word ‘spying’ could cause people in the cable news ecosystem to freak out.”
Barr: “Unauthorized surveillance … is that more appropriate in your eyes?” pic.twitter.com/nhZyIq8MhZ

It’s really nice that Schatz is so concerned about the feelings of the liberal news, but in reality the word “spying” is causing the democrats to freak out.
The funnest thing about this will actually be to watch the liberal media completely ignore and/or spin the hell out of this story. For the past 2 years they’ve done nothing but report bullshit, that they knew was bullshit, about Trump colluding with the Russians. Now that it is the Obama administration under investigation for spying, what do you want bet they’ll find something else to report on?
