DJT and Rudy Giuliani have been moaning for months that the FBI spied on their 2016 presidential campaign, and people have mostly ignored them.
Yesterday new AG William Barr claimed, before a House oversight committee, that, yes, he believes “spying occurred.” This is all up in the news again.
Last night Rachel was the only reporter I saw all day who called it for what it was: the FBI and foreign intelligence bureaus were following several shady Russian operatives — because that’s what they do — and several members of the Trump campaign (Carter Page, Paul Manafort and others) were meeting with these Russian operatives. Yes, Trump’s campaign got swept up in FBI surveillance — because they were meeting with known Russian spies.
I kinda hope Barr does open an investigation. It’ll blow up in his face most spectacularly.
