shady plan to spy on the Trump campaign

[Controlled Opposition]

If the CIA, FBI, etc. had reason to suspect that a leading presidential candidate might have been compromised by a hostile foreign power (a situation that had never arisen before in US history) what should the IC have done - ignored it?

If, otoh, this was merely a dastardly ruse by the "Obama administration" to spy on the Trump campaign, what political information did they learn and what use did they make of it? Whatever it was - if anything - it wasn't enough to stop Trump being elected.

What use did they make of it, you ask? Really? That's like saying, "I tried to rob that bank, but did not succeed, so, no harm, no foul."

Total bullshit article, got to love the way he takes the time at the offset to make sure he incorporates the Clintons, anticapatory set for the Trumpkins, and moves on to state quickly that "there is no doubt that the Obama Administearion spied on the Trump campaign" before he even established the point

An opinion columnist from the National Review regurgitates all the demogogues' conspiracies framed into one article and the Trumpkins jump on it as the "facts."

Seen it all before, and unless Sean himself comes out and tells them it is bogus they are going to believe it all regardless

And yet, you espoused all the bullshit from the left leaning morons at MSNBC and CNN without any issues. You have NEVER been right yet Arsecheese.

I don't see how it didn't end up on Obama's desk. The notion that an operation this BIG regarding the President elect isn't going to the top requires the willing suspension of disbelief.

one step at as time. I don't want to LEAP to Obama -Obama could have just been concerned abut da Russians, and his underlings turned it into a hatchett job on Trump.. I don't know -but follow the evidence where ever it goes

in the worst case: the cloak and dagger stuff was done by our own government against a presidential campaign during an election.

Why, in your view, were the leaders of the main intelligence agencies so desperate to 'get Trump'? They didn't want a Mexican wall? They didn't want to keep Muslims out? They were determined not to make America great again?

Barr’s mission is to find out which is the case.

That indeed appears to be Barr's 'mission'. We'll see if anything comes of it.

Barr is the AG and he would be remiss to *not* look into spying on a presidential campaign.

Trump was sufficiently loathed by some of these weasels that that was sufficient motive in of itself.

Maybe that's what Barr will find out! "Sorry to break it to you, Mr President, but the intel chiefs spied on you because you're loathsome."

Or maybe they had adequate reason for such an unprecedented action. We'll see.

Just as those intelligence entities would have remiss *not* to look into a foreign nation hostile to the US orchestrating an espionage effort to influence our election system, probably more so, a lot more so

And Trump constantly being the victim of everything is getting old, playing the martyr has hit the point of marginal utility

Awesome; so now the DEEP State spies on people because they don't like them. When that is permissible, we have achieved the Fascistic third world shit hole you leftists desperately desire.

Obama didn't think of Russia as a hostile nation. How come you morons didn't whine when he said they were not a threat and that he wanted to "re-set" relations with them?

Let's start with this:
