Do you mean William Barr is going to have jurisdiction over this? That just defies logic, given that William Barr is trumps private attorney.

Yeah a critical topic that fake news never discusses cuz its more democrat criminal activity that cant be swept under the rug.

I'm suprised fake news CNN is reporting this. Obama has been spying on trump for decades. He must be jealous of him. In fact trump has been in office 3 years and Obama still mentions him at every chance. Embarrassing. KAG2020

Be proud of who you are don’t let the insanity continue

hey welcome to the spygate scandal cnn
