WASHINGTON—Attorney General William Barr said he would form a team to examine the origins of a 2016 counterintelligence investigation that conducted what he termed as “spying” on people affiliated with the Trump campaign, a characterization Democrats said was politically motivated and echoed the president’s longstanding criticism of the Justice Department’s Russia probe.
At a Senate hearing on Wednesday, Mr. Barr said the team would look at what lay behind the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s probe of the Trump campaign’s...
Yeah about time as they seem to forget J Edgar Hoover's 'SPYING' on MLK!
The Dems are afraid because they know that the Obama FBI/DOJ were politicized. The bogus dossier was used to obtain FISA warrents. McCabe testified that the warrents wouldn't have been issued without the dossier. The lib media was used to spread false information through leaks
clearly, this is an act of retribution by the Trump administration
And their 2 year witch-hunt wasn’t politically-motivated - total hypocrites!
Let’s see who is prosecuted and convicted. Transparency is the best path for restoring confidence in the DoJ and FBI.
Hello Reichstag.
When Trump whines about anything, it's likely just one more lie. With no investigation, no evidence, no backup, Congress should invoke censure of our employees for wasting our time.
Liberals Lie. It is what they do. It is who they are.
Time to release all the documents. End the debate. Democrats never thought they would get caught. Time the rouge GOP back our president.
Yes, let's invalidate the report before it's brought into the light. Sorry, bitches. You still lose.
So according to the Democrats logic, it is politically motivated to look into acts of treason that were politically motivated. That hurts my head.
Every move the left has done has been politically motivated. Maybe they should stop focusing on collusion and tax returns and start focusing on negotiating on real issues that are affecting the country.
Right...so why all the lies? 😐
Politically motivated? That’s fresh....
The have only one reply. Owner of your paper is Rupert Murdoch. Sit down and shut up.
Cockroaches don’t like the light. I hope Barr Lights up every aspect of this attempted coup.
Don’t republicans realise that more than half the country is educated?
Duh
They're worried.
The McCarran Act specifically authorizes President Trump to order the arrest and detention of all the people who spied on Trump Tower. Spying is highly illegal in the USA!
Democrats think that? Glad the Mueller hoax was not politically motivated. That could have been bad for the country
Spying is politically motivated!
Supreme irony Dems accusing Barr of a politically motivated investigation. These people are shameless considering what's been going on for the last 3 years.
Go Barr, get them good and exile the one's responsible for the whole Traitorous episode. Jail is not good enough for that rubbish, as they would still be kept at the expense of the Tax payers of America. EXILE is the new word for Trash.
Well that one is easy trump cheated that originated the chump Russian collusion
Mr Barr, getting the DOJ back on track. Not a moment too soon.
Well, he admitted to having no evidence. Which is okay for you basic twitter comment troll, but a little jarring from an AG.
So my question to TinaSmithMN amyklobuchar MinnesotaDFL is, will you condemn using intel agencies to spy on your political opposition during a presidential campaign? Will you condemn BarackObama for this treachery? Will you investigate alfranken for promoting this?
Yawn
This is soooooooo stupid. It was a clearly warranted investigation into a possible threat to the country... Maybe Trump shouldn't be such a slimeball that the FBI felt it necessary to look into all his shady dealings...
Everything is politically motivated. That’s politics. Democrats are guilty as hell at that game.
Hi welcome to Earth...everything is politically motivated
Guess where the buck stopped. Just guess.
Didn't Sessions already investigate this and found nothing?
Trump got exactly what type of Attorney General he wanted in Barr Loyalty
As a retired law enforcer, words cannot express the disappointment in the AG watching him more engraved in being trumps puppet. This is NOT the America my parents raised me in. BABA is MY new term- Bring America Back Again
Lol
Looks like the tables have turned...
Imagine the look on their inevitable MAGA faces...
