Some questions for Bill Barr:
(1) If it is tolerable for President Trump to publicly demand investigations of his political opponents, why would it not be tolerable for the intelligence community leadership in 2016 to have spied on the Trump campaign?
(1) If it is tolerable for President Trump to publicly demand investigations of his political opponents, why would it not be tolerable for the intelligence community leadership in 2016 to have spied on the Trump campaign?
(2) If spying on the Trump campaign was intolerable, why are the president's public demands today acceptable?
(3) Why should I be more concerned about improper spying in 2016 for which you have put forward zero evidence than about ongoing demands for political investigations for which the evidence is plain and public and irrefutable?
(4) Why shouldn't a reasonable observer fault you for peddling innuendo about 2016 while ignoring flagrant misconduct today?
(5) Why isn't the burden on you to put up or shut up?
For the record, I'll believe suggestions that the intelligence community improperly targeted the Trump campaign when I see evidence of it. I already see evidence, a ton of it, that Trump endeavors regularly to use the law enforcement apparatus of the nation against political foes
That's all I got.
Actually, one other question:
(6) If it was unacceptable for @Comey to release truthful information about an unindicted investigative subject after an investigation, why is it acceptable for you to peddle mere suspicion about unindicted people not even under investigation?
