The squirming has begun, and they’ve begun to throw each other under the bus.

Quote:Things seem to be moving quickly now. It has been a remarkable few weeks in American history. Momentum is building toward uncovering the distasteful possibility that the targeting of a U.S. presidential campaign was actually a political operation, fostered at the highest levels of government, masquerading as an FBI counterintelligence investigation.

Attorney General William Barr has signaled that his interest in examining the origins of the investigation into the Trump campaign extends beyond whether the FBI operated “by the book,” as former FBI Director James Comey asserts. Barr also wants to understand the role that the larger intelligence community, or IC, may have played in all of this.

Barr has thrown punches that have left an interesting mix of characters with a standing eight count. Certain eyes around D.C. are a little glassy right now.

Barr’s words and actions are telling. First, he raised the concern that the Trump campaign was “spied” upon. His use of the word “spying” appears more calculated than casual. The wailing and gnashing of teeth that followed is also telling. “The FBI doesn’t spy” became the sputtering counter-refrain of those trying to mask their nervousness.

It’s a fair point that’s beside the point. The FBI is charged with acting under strict legal restrictions and court orders. Spying is not a term traditionally associated with those activities.

They are shaking in their boots.

The guy is a crook and a fraud who misrepresented the Mueller report.

Note that this comes from the Hill. Its kind of an insider, "Establishment Republican" type website. Its not a particularly pro Trump website and it is one that is pretty solid.

I for one welcome any investigation in how this started. Amazing that you guys think President Best Brain is innocent. Read Amash's twitter. He breaks it down quite succinctly.

He’s been watching and reading the MSM take that there was collusion and the Mueller report proves it. They have actually been making that exact statement on several ‘news’ shows. MSNBC being one of those. The weak minded are especially easy to convince......especially when whipped to a frenzy by not getting what they want.

OK, what did he misrepresent?

Be specific. He said X and Mueller said Y and that is a misrepresentation because ...

Not just, he misrepresented, with no specifics.

How so? What was in the report that proved anything? The full report has been available for weeks now. What has been discovered that proves beyond doubt that Trump did anything illegal? Specifics please. Thanks!

Barr was questioned whether Mueller agreed with his summary. Barr answered, "I don't know". This was a lie and he perjured himself. This tells us exactly what Barr is and what he is about. Mueller wrote him a letter on 3/27 after he read Barr's summary.

Mueller wrote that his summary “did not fully capture the context, nature and substance of the investigation.”

What other specifics do you need? He is a proven liar.

So this fiasco isn't over yet? What are we waiting on now?

If Mueller had something on bad orange man, don't you think that would have come out already?

LOL, dude. You are one warped mofo. NO ONE in their right mind thinks like you but you keep on telling yourself how right you are when ALL you have ever done here is spread untruths and have been repeatedly shot down with this kind of nonsense. I could almost admire your persistence if it wasn't so insane.

Oh Mach.. Good seeing you buddy.

If ANYONE had something it would have come out by now. It's telling that there isn't even enough with which to frame the bastard and not for lack of trying.

Meh, maybe, I think it's more like seeing your old buddy come out of rehab and going straight to the crackhouse.

Mueller hasn't publicly refuted anything in Barr's statements and currently won't testify in front of Congress. I think that pretty much sums up Mueller and his $35 million report.

Barr has zero credibility.
