Barr Drops the Hammer On Dems – And They’re Clearly Freaking Out

WATCH: Barr says spying did occur and it is a big deal

Attorney General Bill Barr has made it CLEAR that he’s not going to stand for the partisan witch hunt the Democrats are engaging in…

And it’s clear they’re freaking out.

Why? They’re all on defensive overtime.

According to Fox News:

Prominent Democrats lined up to hammer Attorney General Bill Barr for testifying Wednesday that federal authorities had spied on the Trump campaign in 2016, with one top House Democrat charging that Barr is not acting “in the best interest of the DOJ or the country.”

“I think spying did occur,” Barr said during the explosive hearing before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. “The question is whether it was adequately predicated. …Spying on a political campaign is a big deal.”

It’s a huge deal – and Americans simply won’t stand for it.

Democrats clearly realize Barr’s on to them… because they’re flipping their lid:

Despite mounting evidence that the FBI pursued an array of efforts to gather intelligence from within the Trump campaign — and the fact that the FBI successfully pursued warrants to surveil a former Trump aide in 2016 — House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., told Fox News that Barr’s loyalties were compromised.

“He is acting as an employee of the president,” Hoyer said. “I believe the Attorney General believes he needs to protect the president of the United States.”

Pathetic. These are the same people who keep saying that if Trump has nothing to hide he should ‘welcome’ an investigation. Where did that line of thinking go?

Added House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., in an interview with the Associated Press: “I don’t trust Barr, I trust Mueller.” And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., accused Barr on Twitter of “peddling conspiracy theories.”

Chuck… it’s pretty rich for ANY Democrat to throw stones on this one. I’d suggest you sit down and zip it up.

House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff, D-Calif., added in a statement that Barr “should not casually suggest that those under his purview engaged in ‘spying’ on a political campaign.”

“This type of partisan talking point may please Donald Trump, who rails against a ‘deep state coup,'” Schiff said, “but it also strikes another destructive blow to our democratic institutions. The hardworking men and women at the DOJ and FBI deserve better.”

Says the man who has been peddling conspiracy theories in order to undermine our President – and therefore the will of the American people – for the past two years.

They’re scrambling, aren’t they?

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., for example, told Fox News that Barr’s vow to probe the FBI’s 2016 counterintelligence probe amounted to nothing more than “Republican conspiracy theory nonsense.”

He also characterized Barr’s statements as an “effort to divert attention” from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s full report, which Barr said will be released within a week. Mueller’s investigation ended last month without securing the indictment of a single American for collusion with Russia or obstruction of justice, “despite multiple offers from Russian-affiliated individuals to assist the Trump campaign.”

Pathetic.

They’re afraid… and they should be.
