The Daily Bullcrap Report

I don’t have a cult leader, Mike. You do. You have bought the fiction whole heartedly. It is a dangerous fiction.

The intelligence agencies do surveillance to protect us. When it is done, there are strict rules that are followed. It is done covertly, but not illegally and not for politically partisan reasons. There were plenty of indications that Russians were trying to have influence with members of the campaign staff. That could not be ignored.

Re: the Mueller investigation, we don’t know the extent of what was done, and found, because AG Barr has only released his own biased short take on it. When he releases the whole thing, it will be very heavily redacted, and I expect that it will be redacted in such a way, that what is left will say what he wants it to say (at least to the extent he can edit it, thru redactions only.)

We don’t need to rehash what the term “spying” means. Askisser General Barr admitted it means “illegal or unauthorized surveillance”. He had no evidence that that has occurred, despite the Inspector General’s still active probe on the accusation.
