They love to waste everyone's time chasing these fantasies.
William Barr embarrassed himself today, not that it is any surprise.
When Barr was asked if he has any evidence of this conspiracy, he said no.
All he was doing was licking Trump's butt.
You better brace yourself. You have a lot of surprises coming and your'e not gonna like any one of them!
The entire idea that Trump was "illegally" spied on is a right wing fantasy.
Barr is saying whatever he is saying just to feed the troops a little snack.
This so called conspiracy to defeat Trump never actually did a thing to help Clinton, it actually hurt Clinton through Comey's actions about the emails and Huma Abedin.
This all reminds me of the idiotic things Glenn Beck and Alex Jones have said in the past about some soon to be revealed liberal conspiracy which never amounted to a hill of beans.
Benghazi! Benghazi! Benghazi!
So, the best I can decipher it, the party line being taken by the gop is that Carter Page honestly is so damn dumb that he had no idea he was offering to sell our national secrets to Russian State Intelligence Services so all bets are off.
We are supposed to forget about Russia sanctions being scrubbed from Trump's platform. We are supposed to ignore that Manafort, Trump's campaign chief, gave internal polling to Russia. We are to not to note that Sessions and Flynn and Donald Jr all lied about Russian spy shit.
Nah...
just a couple of unrelated coincidences
“I am not suggesting that those rules were violated, but I think it’s important to look at them,” Mr. Barr said. Later he said he wanted to ensure that there was no “improper surveillance” — not suggesting there had been, but that the possibility warranted review.
It really is hilarious how the Trump fans are all jumping up and down at this like it proves there was improper spying because of how unartfully Barr made his comments. Obviously they were meant for an audience of one. He admits he is "not suggesting that those rules were violated" but has started an investigation? So which is it Bill, do you think laws were violated thus it needs to be investigated? Or is it that you don't think there was any "improper surveillance" but you just want to be extra sure no laws were broken? Isn't that the definition of a fishing expedition? Isn't that exactly why some are asking for Trumps tax returns? We don't think any tax laws were broken but we just want to be sure, right?
