Uh oh......

Media flipping out over the word “spy”. The FBI got a FISA warrant to “surveil” Carter Page. When you wiretap someone’s current and past phone conversations without their knowledge I’d that that is, by definition, spying on someone.

BTW, don’t cops “spy” on people all the time?

Comey was shocked that Barr refereed to “court ordered surveillance” as “spying”. To a layperson the “surreptitious collection of information on someone” is spying. Barr called a spade a spade. Just because a court authorized it doesn’t mean it is not spying!

I have to say it is funny watching the Dems squirm and try to spin it.

I read recently Comey was asked why the FBI did not tell Trump about possible Russian infiltration in his campaign. He said because 2 of the targets were in the room. Presumable Page and Flynn. Not clear why he didn’t go back later and tell him.

I am looking forward to the IG report much more so than the Mueller report.

I put on my tinfoil hat and have a theory...

Suppose the Mueller report found “spying” by the FBI and made criminal referrals to the DOJ to investigate. The FBI does not ‘announce’ investigations. So perhaps there are new criminal investigations on going based on Mueller’s referrals? Just a thought.

Dems may live to regret asking for the full unredacted report...

Comey may regret writing his book. Making false exculpatory claims is an indication of consciousness of guilt.

In other news...the first Obama official has been indicted based on Mueller report. Be interesting to see if he drops dime on his buddies to strike a plea deal with prosecutors.
