Now that's what I call spying.

The FBI in 2016 sent an investigator posing as a research assistant to meet with George Papadopoulos as part of its probe into ties between Russia and the Trump campaign, according to The New York Times.

The woman, who went by the name Azra Turk, reportedly met with Papadopoulos, a Trump campaign adviser, at a London bar, where she asked him about whether the campaign was working with Moscow.

The previously unreported episode comes amid growing scrutiny over the FBI's actions toward President Trump's 2016 campaign. Trump has repeatedly accused the FBI of spying on his campaign, an allegation Attorney General William Barr has said he plans to look into.

The report also comes as the Justice Department's inspector general is expected to wrap up its probe into the FBI's actions during the campaign sometime this summer.

What do people think the FBI does after opening a counter-intelligence investigation? Sit on their hands? Twiddle their thumbs?

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congressional Democrats stepped up pressure on President Donald Trump’s administration on Thursday as U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi accused Attorney General William Barr of committing a crime and an influential committee chairman threatened to hold Barr in contempt of Congress.




Looks like the Dems aren't even bothering to list which crime was supposedly committed. I guess they will just fill in the blank... later on. :lol:

Or... you could read past the first paragraph and Reuters would tell you.

Then why the Dem hysteria when Barr calls a spade a spade?

The Trump campaign was spied on. The underlying rational (that there was collusion with Russia) is now known to be false.

The remaining question is whether there were ever grounds to investigate in the first place. At first glance, it looks like the answer is no.

There was more than enough public evidence to warrant an investigation at the onset.

Th ey were offered dirt, were receptive to taking it, and likely only didnt because of incompetence.

Really after all this time the only reason to think an investigation wasnt warranted is hackery
