Mr. Barr is making no bones about his continued consistent views on what he bluntly still refers to as the "Spying" on the Trump Campaign by the Obama FBI, and is not backing off even a little bit from his assessment of the contents of the IG Report.
MSNBC Hack: Why do you say the FBI opened the investigation on the Trump Campaign on the "Thinnest of suspicions?".
In one area I do disagree with the IG, and that was whether there was sufficient predication to open a full-blown counterintelligence investigation, specifically using the techniques that they did to collect intelligence about the Trump Campaign.
MSNBC Hack: W, w, well as a policy matter, why not open an investigation on a thin pretext? I guess on the one hand you could say that it's a presidential campaign, it's very sensitive, you need better evidence.
The use of these counterintelligence techniques against a presidential campaign.
We have to remember, in today's world, presidential campaigns are frequently in contact with foreign persons, and indeed, in most campaigns there are signs of illegal foreign money coming in [!!!]. And we don't automatically assume that the campaigns are nefarious and traitors and acting in league with foreign powers.
Then there's the seemingly gratuitous noting of the fact that "In most campaigns there are signs of illegal foreign money coming in." Think about that one: Which two recent campaigns have been most prominent in having allegations of benefiting from foreign money? If you said "The Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton Campaigns," you win the prize.
